25 Reasons Why The World Hates Christians And Christianity (2023)

"I hate Christians, Christians are stupid, Christians are annoying, Christians are critical fanatics." If you are a believer living in the United States, I know you have heard words like this before. The question is whyatheistshate christians Why are we hated by the world?

Before we find out why next, let me tell you that it doesn't matter who you are. If you confess Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will be persecuted.

In other countries, some people die because they do not want to deny Christ.

If you feel bad that you were never persecuted for your faith in Christ, don't worry, it will happen.

Beware, there are some people who aim to be hated by the people.

Scripture never approves of that. I saw videos of would-be Christians deliberately taunting and confronting unbelievers.

Yes, when we evangelize we must stand our ground and preach the whole truth, but there are some people who pretend to be hated just to say, "Look, they persecute me." , but because they are stupid.

It doesn't take much to be hated. All you have to do is open your mouth. Some people are cowards. They will never preach against sin. You will see people go to hell and stay silent.

These are the people the world likes. People who claim to be Christian but don't attack the evil parade of others. The world likes people like TD Jakes, Joel Osteen, etc. These people tolerate evil and never talk about sin or hell. You are friends of the world. Luke 6:26, “Woe to you if everyone speaks well of you, because that is how your ancestors treated the false prophets!.“

1. The world hates us because we are not part of the world.

John 15:19 "The world would love you as one of its own, if you were its own."but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you from the world, that's why she hates you."

Psalm 4:3 "But understand this: Jehovah has separated the righteous🇧🇷 The LORD will hear me when I call on him!”

2. We are hated because we follow Christ.

John 15:18 "If the world hates you,Remember he hated me at first.

Mateo 10:22“And all nations will hate you because you are my followers.But everyone who endures to the end will be saved."

Matthew 24:9 "Thenyou will be given over to persecution and death, and you will be hated by all peoples because of me.

Psalm 69:4 “The hairs of my head that hate me without cause prevail; many are my enemies without reason, who want to destroy me. I am forced to return what I did not steal.

3. The world hates God. We remind them of the God they hate so much.

Romans 1:29-30 “Their lives were filled with all manner of wickedness, sin, greed, hatred, envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, and gossip. they are traitorsthose who hate god, scandalous, proud and arrogant. They invent new ways to sin and disobey their parents.they refuse to understand, they break their promises, they are insensitive and they have no mercy”.

John 15:21 "This is how they will treat you for my name's sake, for I do not know the one who sent me.”

John 15:25 "This fulfills what is written in their scriptures: They hated me without cause."

4. Darkness always hates light.

John 3:19-21 “This is the verdict:Light came into the world, butPeople loved darkness instead of light.because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come out in the open for fear that his actions will be exposed.

Mateo 5:14-15you are the light of the world– like a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand where it illuminates everyone in the house. In the same way, let his good works shine so that everyone can glorify his heavenly Father ”.

5. People hate the truth.

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all wickedness and wickedness ofthose who in their wickedness repress the truth.”

Amos 5:10 "There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court andhate the one who tells the truth.”

Galatians 4:16 „HabeHave I become your enemy now because I tell you the truth?

John 17:17 “Sanctify them in the truth;Your word is truth."

6. The world hates us for our mission.

Unbelievers love their own righteousness. We must tell people who think they are good and do the things that society thinks will get them to heaven that their good deeds mean nothing and that their good deeds are just dirty laundry. Pride kills us. They think to themselves, 'How dare you say that?i'm not good enough🇧🇷 How dare you call me evil? I have done much more good than you, God knows my heart.

Romans 10:3 "For despising the righteousness that comes from God, andInstead, they tried to establish their own righteousness and did not submit to God's righteousness."

Matthew 7:22-23 “Many will say to me on that day: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name?cast out demons and perform many miracles in your name? Then I will tell them clearly: 'I never met them. Get away from me, evildoers!”

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves, but from the gift of God; it is not by works that anyone can boast.”

7. Because they believe lies.

There are so many people who don't know the Bible but still want to talk about the Bible. They harden their hearts to the truth and say things like God forgives slavery, this, that, etc.

Psalm 109:2 "For wicked and deceitful mouths have been opened against me,speak against me with lying tongues.”

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 “And for this reasonGod will send you a strong delusion to make you believe a lie.

8. You confuse love with hate.

I have seen Christians preach about homosexuality in the kindest and most loving way. They explained that if the homosexual would repent and trust in Christ alone, there would be hope in Christ. Yet I still hear unbelievers say, "Wow, Christians are so hateful." He was so surprised. He could not have been more loving than this sermon. In today's society, if you don't say anything and let someone else go to hell, that's love. When you lovingly say that something is sin, that is hateful. True hate is watching someone walk into eternal pain and torment and not saying anything.

Proverbs 13:24"He who stops the rod hates his children, but the one who loves his children takes care of educating them”.

Proverbs 12:1 “To learn, one must love discipline; it's stupid to hate correction.“

Proverbs 27:5 "BecauseOpen correction is better than hidden love!”

9. Because everyone hates us and the people of the world follow us.

Even without knowing Christianity, people agree with each other. If someone says that Christians are fanatics, someone will repeat this false information. You follow what others say.

Proverbs 13:20 "He who walks with the wise will become wise,but the companion of fools suffers harm.”

Luke 23:22-23 “The third time he said to them: Why?🇧🇷 What crime did this man commit? I couldn't find any reason for that with him.death penalty.Therefore, I will punish him and then release him." But with loud cries they insisted that he be crucified, and his cries prevailed."

11. We are hated by false teachers.

Too many people sit in churches and all they hear is love, love, love and nobuses🇧🇷 When they go out and find a true believer preaching, they say, “Jesus only preached about love. You are wrong!" Misturnedsits under a false teacherI hate true Christians.

Matthew 23:15-16 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!You will travel by land and sea to win a single convert, and if you do, you will make him twice as much of a son of hell as you are. Woe to you blind guides!🇧🇷 You say: If someone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but he who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.

12. They don't like the real Christ. They want to keep their lives. They want one foot in and one foot out.

Mateo 16:25-26“If you want to save your life, you will lose it. But those who lose their lives for me will find them. What is the use of people gaining the whole world and losing their lives?🇧🇷 Or what will a person give in exchange for life?

13. They want to keep their sins and they don't like theirssins exposed.

John 7:7 "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me becauseI testify that their deeds are evil."

Ephesians 5:11 “Do not be partakers of the vain works of evil and of darkness; instead of that,expose them”.

14Satan has blinded the world..

Ephesians 2:2 "which he practiced once, living according to the customs of this world, andaccording to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that now operates in those who disobey.”

15. They hate us because we don't hurt them. They think we think we are better than unbelievers, which is not true. We are not better, we are just better.

1 Peter 4:4 “Of course,Your old friends are surprised when you stop launching into the wild and destructive things they do. Then they slander you."

Ephesians 5:8 "For once you were darkness,but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."

Matthew 22:29 "Jesus answered: 'Your fault is that you don't know the scriptures and you don't know the power of God.”

19. Those who hate Christianity are those who admire the devil.

Juan 8:44 „You are from your father, the devil, and you want to fulfill your father's wishes.He was a murderer from the beginning who didn't cling to the truth, since there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his mother tongue because he is a liar and the father of lies”.

1 Juan 3:10“By this we know who are children of God and who are children of the devil: he who does not do good is not a child of God.nor anyone who does not love his brother and sister.

20. We have the Spirit of Christ in us.

Romans 8:9 “But you are not ruled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit when the Spirit of God lives in you. 🇧🇷And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ in them do not belong to him at all."

21. They hate the gospel of Christ.

25. Christians are mean to the wicked.

Clubs, abortion clinics, porn sites, casinos, prosperity preachers, psychics, etc. We fight things that are bad, which is a problem for those who seek dishonest gain.

Acts 19:24-27 “Demetrius, a goldsmith, worked making silver models for the temple of Artemis. His business brought great profits to the men who worked for him. He called a meeting of his workers and others doing similar work. Demetrius said, “Men, you know we make a good income out of this business, and come and hear what that man Paul did. He won a large crowd that follows him not only in Ephesus, but in the entire province of Asia. He tells people that man-made gods are not gods.There is a risk that people will discredit our work and there is a risk that people will think that the temple of the great goddess Artemis is nothing. Then the one that all Asia and the rest of the world worship will be robbed of her glory.”

Acts 16:16-20 “One day, as we were going to the place of worship, a servant girl met us. She was possessed by an evil spirit who used divination.It made a lot of money for its owners.Fortune telling🇧🇷 She used to follow Paul and shout: “These men are servants of the Most High God. They tell you how to be saved.” She did this for many days. Paul became angry, turned to the evil spirit and said:"I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" When Paul said this, the evil spirit left her. When their owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they grabbed Pablo and Silas and dragged them away.The authoritiesin the public square🇧🇷 Before the Roman officials, they said: “These men are causing a lot of trouble in our city. They are Jews."

you are hated

It's cool these days to make fun of Jesus in a music video. The world loves false religions because they come from their father, Satan. Christianity is the most hated religion for a reason. When we suffer for Christ, we share his suffering. Enjoy the chase. Pray for those who hate you and persecute you. Keep preaching the gospel with love. Show others the love of God. Just as Jesus saved Paul, who used to kill Christians, he will save everyone. Repent and trust Christ alone for salvation.

Matthew 5:10-12 “They areBlessed are those who are persecuted for their good works, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven..”People will insult you and hurt you. They will lie and say all kinds of nasty things about you for following me.
