Pushing people away from Christ in the name of Christ would be betraying Him, wouldn’t it?
Lying to people to not hurt their feelings would be betraying Christ and God.
If you don't believe what any of the Christians on this forum have said, read the Bible for yourself and see what Christ says.
He didn't mince words. Matter of fact, He came on pretty strong sometimes.
Would you accuse Him of *pushing people away*?
You know, sometimes He did. Those who wouldn't believe were offended by His words and walked away from Him. But it wasn't Him.
The truth is that anyone without Christ is lost, the Christ of the NT, God Incarnate.
