Are Christians angry and hateful?

Q: Never seen people angrier and full of hate than devoted Christians. If God exists, it feels like he wouldn't be happy with any of them

 
A:
I've never met any "hateful" or "angry" Christians in my 36 years as a believer, and ive traveled the world, been to many cities, lived in many states and countries and been in several churches. 

🤔I did meet a Christian couple who refused to repent of sin and were disciplined by the church, and heard of one other lady, but those were internal church congregation matters, (being handled biblically because it had to go that far). Christians deal with Christians before Gid disciplines them cuz that escalates it and can be 👀😬 a sin leading to death.  

Galatians 6:1
Brothers, even if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness


God is pleased with those who are His. Scripture is clear on that in the NT. They do His will, love and obey Him, and follow Him. Remove sin, have victory over it, are growing in holiness and righteousness, becoming more like Christ... and glorify Him in thought word and deed. Not perfect, but pleasing as a child learns and grows. 


But the world doesnt realize that not everyone, and not every church or group that "claims" to be Christian, is.

2 Timothy 2:25
with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may give them repentance leading to the full knowledge of the truth.

 And unfortunately because of false mingled in with the true, the world tends to see the religious pretenders (ones who do not actually belong to Jesus, tho they may claim to). Their fruit is evident. And Scripture says how one can know who is saved. Non Christians should read the Bible just to see that info alone, so they dont slander/point at the wrong people, and think "Christians are at it again". Or even reading the Bible to actually know what is in it.

Here are some fun Bible reading plans.
*You can always pick a diff one and reread it
Doing that puts a lot into perspective. Simply 15 to 30 min a day and you'll easily read thru it in 90 days.
Using a Highlighter as you go, looking for info on believers faith, &/or positive things, is helpful too.
