Just say I try to be friend's with a Christian person and a certain Christian
person say's back to me "Get lost you stupid Idiott I hate you." Should I
then keep on trying to be friends with that person or go away from that
person?
 
Well..from my variety of experiences, and slight tendency to "save the world," I'd say, if possible, look at past conversations, see if you said anything that might have offended them..(tis the beauty of auto-save conversations for most IM systems), and if that fails, try asking if you did somethin' wrong. It's a bit of "playing the martyr" if i may use that term...but it's a hit-or-miss tactic...one i tend to use often...so tha's my 2-cents worth. Best wait to see what others say before taking any action.
 
The Bible is full of sayings that tell us to love those who hate us, and bless them that curse us. I would say show kindness to them and watch what you say, and if it continues like it is right now, I think you should just be frank and ask them what the deal is. And praying for them helps too.
 
If they want you to stay away, then you should probably stay away lol.

They could have a neurological problem or some other problem, that you don't want to aggravate.

Caleb, your question is difficult to answer because you're not telling us anything about your relationship with that person or what you said or did that made them angry with you. People don't just react like that for no reason, so I'm going to assume you did or said something wrong or inappropriate. I think you are going to have to apologize to that person for whatever you said or did, even if you decide not to pursue an ongoing relationship with them. But don't apologize or talk to that person any further until you've come to realize what you said or did that was wrong and are ready to admit it. If you don't believe you said or did anything wrong, you need to first pray and ask for God's wisdom before you approach that person again. When you do apologize, it should be along the lines of, 'What I said (or did) was wrong and I regret saying (or doing) it.' Don't use an apology to try to defend what you said or did, or explain why you did it. That isn't seeking forgiveness, it's seeking the other person's understanding that what you did wasn't really wrong.

I think we should all carry guns, and shoot anyone we think are being mean...then, after everyone is dead, the world would be a much better place...

But...why would someone say something like that without a reason...but I also do not like people...I don't call them idiots, but I still don't like them...actually...I am not sure what to say in the situation...
 
It's good that God doesn't call us to like people, but to love them. I definitely can't choose to like the obsessive/compulsive woman (my wife's coworker) who spends tremendous time and energy making life miserable for virtually everyone around her. It's not only beyond my capability to like a person like that, but it also wouldn't be appropriate to like anything that is bad for my wife. But I think God calls us to seperate people from their choices and actions. We will all suffer from our choices and actions that are sinful, but God loves us enough to patiently await our return, just as the father waited for the prodigal son. I don't think it's my prerogative to condemn and hate anybody, because I'm only seeing a small part of their overall life. I can't see the future. God is giving them chances, just as he's given me so many. They don't deserve them any less than I did. So what I can love, at the least, is their status as someone who could love God, and might love God, and who will be transformed beautifully if they ever do.
