Points on divine love, hate, and judgment in Christian belief are shared, today. Only those without eyes, who are not equipped to discern holiness, remain blind to divine love revealed in Jesus Christ. The spiritual substance in such experiences as affection, cheer, comfort, commitment, consolation, and rest all are appearances of divinity. Yet, a fighter at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Floyd” (Level 3 with 1,764 points, a member since March 28, 2014) posted the following:
Why is there so much hate and judgement in Christianity?
And there are so many people saying that only their church is the right way and anyone else who isnt a member of their church isnt a christian. Cant we all relax and accept that we're all followers of Jesus? Cant we all just try to show each other a little bit of love, forgiveness and compassion? Who wants a hug?
Update : And if your not a Christian, you can still have a hug too!
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. (1st John 4: 10-21, KJV)

“Floyd”, here are some points that promote joy and mature belief among Christians:
(1.) Many fail to correctly judge (i.e., assign value; determine the presence and action of divine substance) because they are not equipped to acknowledge the many sacred events and operations that have been used by Deity to establish right knowledge of the full GODhead. For example, when GOD appeared to Moses using the form of a bush that was burning, yet, gave off no ashes or smoke, Moses only saw a strange sight that aroused his curiosity, at first. Later, GOD would privilege Moses to see other aspects of divinity displaying the nature and substance of GOD, and would proclaim his name aloud. From the beginning, then, the Holy One who would deliver Israel was to be known as a god of judgment.
(2.) GOD has appeared in the earth as Jesus Christ using the device of incarnation. Through the ministry established by the Lord, water baptism provides death of ones inborn spirit with rebirth from the spirit content of divinity. Believers receive inseparable aspects from the divine makeup such as faith, forgiveness, holiness, longsuffering, love, righteousness, and wrath against sin. Through what is called fire baptism, believers receive gifts for their service as priests and kings. Those lacking the imparted, indwelling Spirit from GOD often are bitter, defiant, envious, rebellious and resentful toward GOD, for they see others rejoicing and able to understand, and count themselves unfairly condemned.
(3.) All believers must serve in aspects of divine judgment. At the least, we are like those who assembled, dismantled and carried the Tabernacle with Moses in the wilderness, and will set up the thrones for judgment against the wicked. Others serve like the apostles, believers who were witnesses to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus; and who correctly discern the spirit content within conditions, events, persons, utterance (e.g., confession, praise, prayer, promises, prophecy), etc. Their own spirit content must be used as a standard to identify and respond to the issues of divine love, eternal life, and the sacred will of GOD. In final judgment, there will be no accuser except the record of ones own deeds as they appear recorded in the Books of Life. Thus, attitudes, behavior, and conduct become visible as the primary indicators of ones divine spirit content.
There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) Just as genuine love between married persons, or parents and their children demands accountability, discipline, forbearance, respect and restraint, being in a relationship with divinity demands alertness, dutifulness, enthusiasm, and unselfishness. There must be sacred knowledge, holy precepts and principles as well as eternal purpose. More than this, there must be exclusiveness, priority and privilege; those who do not belong through Christ are shut out, albeit in a gentle and kindly manner.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to the measure of your faith.
