Mahama Gandhi is making more sense all the time when he said he loved Christ but it was Christians he didn't like. "your Christians are so unlike your Christ" he said
Just for our information, here is a different perspective (right or wrong)....
Tim Challies, religious author……gives a different perspective…
He says We need to stop using this quote, and I will give you two good reasons to do so. In the first place, Gandhi was hardly an authority on Jesus. When he says, "I like your Christ" he is referring to a Jesus of his own making, a Jesus plucked haphazardly from the pages of Scripture, a Jeffersonian kind of Jesus, picked and chosen from the accounts of his life. He certainly was not referring to the Jesus—the true and complete Jesus—revealed from the first page of Scripture to the last.
He continues…..Whatever Jesus Gandhi liked was definitely not the Jesus of the Bible. Why, then, should we care if we do not attain this falsified version of Jesus? I would be ashamed to have any appearance to the kind of Jesus that Gandhi would deem good, acceptable, and worthy of emulation. That Jesus would, of course, have to look an awful lot like Gandhi. So there is one good reason to stop using this quote: because Gandhi fabricated a Jesus of his own making and declared his affection only for this fictional character. He never liked the real thing.
And finally he says……Jesus spoke kind words and did great deeds; he comforted and healed and gave hope and a future. But not to everyone. Jesus reserved the harshest of words for the religious elite, those who declared that they were holy, that they understood the nature of God, that they had achieved some kind of enlightenment. Jesus had no love for such people. Such people received the sharpest of his rebukes and the most brutal of his "Woes!" They were the whitewashed tombs, the broods of vipers, the blind guides.
Such men did not love Jesus. They may have loved Gandhi's fabricated Christ but they hated the real one. This Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, would have rebuked Gandhi as he rebuked the Jewish leaders of his day, the people who led people walking behind them on the road to hell. Like them, he was convinced of his own goodness, his own worthiness.
Gandhi liked only the Christ of his own making, and he believed that he was worthy of the favor of this Christ. On both accounts, he was wrong; dead wrong.
