A Sacramento preacher recently said about the Orlando shooting:
"The tragedy is that more of them didn't die."
He also said that God tell us to hate his enemies.
Why don't you ask them? They're quite likely to accuse you of not being a "true Christian" of course. But hey, you can throw Bible verses at each other until one of you gives up.I didn't ask you to find the words of other people, I asked you to find words of Jesus and writings by His disciples and other early Christians in the Bible that say obeying Jesus means it is okay to hate or kill in His name.
So what? Jesus never said anything about abortion. Yet how many Christians are against reproductive rights?Case in point, Jesus NEVER said such things.

You can use scripture to advocate for anything. There are a plethora of topics that Jesus never spoke about, and yet Christians have no qualms saying, "The Christian stance on this issue is..."I have absolutely NO interest in doing so. You're the one who seems to think that such a hateful position is advocated for by Jesus in Scripture. It's not.
And they say you're wrong. So there's that.Abortion is murder, so they'd be wrong if they think such things are in line with Jesus' commands and teachings.
And they say you're wrong. So there's that.
Interestingly, you say that abortion isn't "in line with Jesus' commands and teachings," even though Jesus never spoke about abortion. Yet when it comes to other matters on which you disagree, such as the views of the Sacramento preacher, you say, "Jesus NEVER said such things." Your double standard couldn't be more transparent.Sure, you've answered your questions on the matter it would seem. Fair enough.

Jesus never said that abortion was murder. He never mentioned it at all. The same trick you're pulling could be used by that Sacramento pastor to justify his comments.Jesus DID speak about murder. Abortion is murder. No double standard.

Does an embryo have human personhood? What did Jesus have to say about that? Oh that's right, nothing whatsoever.Is killing another human being murder?

So do you disregard the rest of the Bible?
And not that I want to argue scripture, since I'm a non-theist, but a quick search brought up this article that mentions why it's Biblical to hate God's enemies:
https://faithandheritage.com/2011/06/hate-the-sin-and-hate-the-sinner/
I'm guessing I could find a whole lot more.
No, I believe the ENTIRE Bible is the word of God.
Ok, so as the article says, it supposedly Biblical to hate God's enemies.
And do you know who perpetrated them? Other scientists doing science. Interesting how that works. Apparently not all science is as truthful and honest as we've been led to believe.
I don't care what the article says, I care what the Bible says.
