Don't you think you guys would be able to "save" so many more people if you didn't bash them all the time and showed them love like Jesus did? Jesus didn't hate or judge...he hung out with the sinners and befriended them...not put them down or condem them to hell. Think about that....how could something that started out so full a love turn into a religion full of hate?

Who is this "Jesus" you speak of, because He certainly doesn't sound like the Jesus in
my Bible! Jesus doesn't hate? Jesus doesn't judge? Jesus doesn't send anyone to Hell? Try opening up your Bible and reading closer.
Revelation 20:11-15
11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
There you have Jesus (God) judging everybody and sending the worthless sinners straight to Hell. Unless of course, you deny Jesus being God, which is heresy and completely against what the Bible says. Fine, let's look to the Gospels...
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
(Jesus telling us we can judge others.)
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
(Jesus telling us explicitly that we must hate our own family before joining Him.)
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
(Jesus saying He will judge and condemn others.)
He also didn't "hang out and befriend" sinners. He witnessed to them. He never said "It's okay to keep sinning and doing what you're doing, you're cool.". No, He preached to them and tried to make them His followers. For example, the famous story about the woman that was about to be stoned and Jesus said that whoever is without sin to cast the first stone. Sounds like he is supporting the woman, right? Wrong. He tells her. "Go and sin no more."
