How did Christians treat other Christians?

Answer 1

Love your neighbor as your self. Do unto to others as you would like them to do unto you.

Answer 2

Some Christians believe that humans were meant to 'subdue' the earth, and some believe that we are to be 'stewards' of the earth. Many Christians are very materialistic and this impacts negatively our environment.

If you mean the world in terms of the environment, then there are a variety of treatments handed out by Christians. This would vary in terms of whether they consider seriously the mandate God made them to care for His creation as part of His mandate to 'have dominion'. They would thus, often without thinking, be interpreting this as a freedom to exploit and even abuse the earth for their own ends. As such it is arguable whether they are being the 'good stewards' The Bible calls them to be.

Further to this, the New Testament refers to 'the world' in a quite different sense as a kind of 'spiritual entity' or a kind of 'philosophical system' which contains various ideas, including materialism, which are effectively opposed to true Christian faith and life since they claim a loyalty which should belong to God alone.

One example of this teaching occurs in:

15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Jesus also taught that the possessions of the world are something that claims our loyalty and are to be used but not to lay claim on us: 24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

In terms of actual practice though, many Christians do not follow these clear teachings and readily embrace materialism. In so doing they are also part of the whole western system which exploits and abuses 'the world' in the physical sense of the planet in which we live.

Answer 3

The way that they would wish to be treated themselves
They believe that others should see that Christ is with them. Therefore, they believe in beng very nice to strangers and commiting random acts of kindness.

Jesus said the second commandment is "love your neighbour (other people ) as your self."

So Christians should treat other people in the same way they would treat themselves.

Answer 4

Answer

Christianity is ambivalent in its teachings on the treatment of others. On the one hand, it teaches one to love one's enemies. On the other hand, its outright persecution of Jews and pagans, its crusades against the Muslims and even its persecution of those who sought to be Christians just following different doctrines, shows anything but the ability of the Church to love its enemies.

Answer 5

Christians are to love other Christians. Jesus tells us in John 15:12, "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." And in verse 17, "These things I command you, that you love one another." This is not a hard commandment for a Christian to follow even if the other person is somewhat weird. To a true Christian, love comes easily.

Answer 6

Well, it's all in the person.

Most Christians will teach the other person about Jesus, but won't surrender their belief.

Answer 7

The golden rule came from Jesus..."Treat others as you would have them treat you"

Answer 8

By loving and caring. :)
