• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Real hatred towards certain people is not wrong (proof from the Bible)

That's just false doctrine and false ideology. The Bible never says "hate the sin love the sinner." You got that from Gandhi, not the Bible, and Gandhi is roasting in the flames of hell right now.

So, what's your interpretation of Matthew 5:43-48 ?

Claiming your interpretation of Psalm 139 is disagreeing with God is just arrogant. But considering your attitude towards others, that's not surprising. Good luck to you... You have a lot to learn.
What is your interpretation of "perfect hatred"? I'm genuinely curious because it feels impossible to interpret that any other way than how I did (meaning, well, hatred that is perfect, leaving no room for love).

You're the pharisee who takes the popular view. The pharisees wanted to look righteous in the eyes of men, that's what you're doing. It's doesn't take much enlightenment or intelligence to read Psalm 139. If you have a problem with that you have a problem with God not me because I didn't write the Bible.
Pretty much every false prophet who's posted to CF gives the "I'm Jesus and you're the Pharisees" line. It's extremely unoriginal. Not that I'm calling you a false prophet. I'm just pointing out that you're in company with them.

That is only for God to judge. Only God can judge righteously, and He will judge you by the same measure you've judged Ghandi. I would not want to be in your shoes on the last day.

So you don't think it's right to hate the enemies of God?
When a person hates even the enemies of God, they lose sight of God. In my Love for God, I for one would not want to travel down that road.
