Admin	How can one hate someone else and still call themselves christians? Posted : 31 Oct, 2020 07:36 PM Does the Bible not say that hate is the same as murder? How can anyone who call themselves a christian have hate in their hearts for someone else? It's okay to hate the sin a person does, but to hate the person, for really no good reason, is just plain wrong. If the Bible tells us it's wrong, then it's wrong. And you know what? There's probably going to be people that hate what I'm saying here. Fine. But if you hate every single thing a person says that aligns with the word of God, then you should look at yourself and your life and get it right with God. I know I'm going to hated by this world. Again, it says so in the Bible. Christians are going to be hated by the world for His namesake. What pains me though is when "christians" say or act as though they just absolutely hate someone. I know some people who call themselves "christians" who act like they hate me and some who act like they want nothing to do with me. I have no idea why, but I don't hate them. I just want them to get rid of that hate they feel for me or anyone else, because it's not good to keep hatred in your heart for someone. This goes for christians and non-christians. Hatred can end up tearing you completely apart. It can not only mess up who you are in your heart, but it can mess up your mind. I'd love to see everyone without any hatred, but I know that will never happen in this world. I'll just put it this way. If you can't stand another brother or sister in Christ here on this earth, then how can expect to live with them in Heaven? Post Reply

Posted : 9 Nov, 2020 05:07 PM Yes, no matter who is doing it and to whom they are doing it towards, if someone thinks that another person is perfect and can do no wrong, doesn't matter who it is, politician, spouse, child, pastor, etc. That's idolatry.

Posted : 10 Nov, 2020 07:37 AM Right Jayzeee, you don't know me, so might I suggest to stop acting like you do. And yes, you may have been replying to Ivy, but I know who you're referring to. Don't think that I'm stupid. I'm not. I can tell when someone means to insult me even when they aren't doing it directly towards me. Post Reply

Anyway I'm not gonna keep going back & forth with you...:-) Post Reply
View Profile History	How can one hate someone else and still call themselves christians? Posted : 10 Nov, 2020 11:14 AM Gandhi said he liked Christ but he didn't like Christians. This forum may be similar to what the Indian gentleman observed during his life. We often forget how to apply Galatians 6:2 in our lives. A public platform that can be used to restore a fellow peer going through something overwhelming can equally be used to mock, put down, and bring out the worst in one another. Our words in our interaction are like daggers that can make a living difference in someone's "spirit" as mentioned in Proverbs 17:22. When approached by cannibalistic BPD-diagnosed serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, what if Roy Ratcliff had mocked the sincerity of Mr. Dahmer and dismissed him based on the wickedness of his murders? Would Roy have been as involved in prison ministry if he did not met Jeffrey? Would the two have met if Mary Mott did not mail literature to Jeffrey's prison after a TV report in 1994? For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Our words matter so let's use them sensibly. Post Reply
