Hate.

[Shadowprophet]

Okay. I've not had sleep for over 30 hours. I'm literally seeing fuzzy sparkles. That's not the point, I'm going to sleep after this post. My point is. As Christians. We aren't supposed to hate. But Part of me does hate. It hates strongly.

Let me explain. I feel, There are certain people in this world who have done things that in my eyes are deserving of the hate they receive. I know this doesn't sound like a Christian ideology. But hear me out. There are people who have committed heinous crimes that are so terrible you can't even speak about them or what they did. There is no explanation needed. I don't want to give details about dark things like that. But. Do these people who have done these horrible things. not deserve the hate I feel for them? I mostly ask this because. If it is wrong for me to hate people who harm children and kill innocent people. Then what is worthy of hate? and If I am broken. how do I fix this and not hate them?

I dont know. Do you hate yourself for your sins?

Christians don't sin W2L, remember?

The thought are as bad as the action friend, Jesus said
Matt 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
1 John 3:15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
There is nothing wrong with righteous anger but when it consumes you, It is wrong. Repent and ask God to help

Well, I'm a very direct and blunt sort of person, So how do I fix this flaw about myself?

There is nothing wrong with being blunt. Speak the truth in love. Love is the fulfillment :]

Well, before we decided to repent we were sinners. Also, i find that i need to repent at times still. Is that bad?

No. We all do

I'm sorry I think I had you confused for some of the crowd on here who believe that Christians no longer sin.

That argument is a difficult one for me. I think folks are referring to Johns letters when they say Christians cannot sin? All i know is i try, and i hope in the Lord.

You don't sin, Tree?

I do.

You don't get mad at injustice, bullies, etc?

Your thoughts never go there?

That's why i need God's grace.

You don't?

1st Tim 1:15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst.

My thing is. I do sin. I know my sins. I don't know truly If I can ever be completely sin free. I do know I could try harder though. Ultimately though. I am not sin free. Even as a Christian. While I in no way condone sin. I'm not sinless.

Just keep growing through reading God's Word and praying. Let Him sanctify you :] You will never reach sinlessness while on this earth as only Jesus was perfect

We all struggle with hate, i believe. To acknowledge ones hate is to acknowledge and follow truth. Love overcomes hate.

Im like Paul, the biggest sinner. I hate myself. Im not sure if Paul hated himself but i hate myself. I love the scripture that says we are new creations in Jesus. It gives me hope. I can love the new and hate the old, i guess. This self hatred does not extend to others though. It actually makes me love others who are also the biggest sinners.

Hate is not something you give.....it is something you get and keep and harbor. It festers. It is like a mold that eats and eats away until it consumes all that was once good. Why would you accept this because of what someone else has done?

Everybody is worthy of hate in God's eyes. We have all done heinous things.
Look at what we did to Jesus. See how we mocked Him, see how we scourged Him, see how we put a crown of thorn on His head, see how we pounded the spikes in His hands and feet, and finally see how we put Him on a cross. Then after all you see what we did to Him and He not only forgave us, but He calls us friend.

Even these people who have done heinous things much more heinous than what we did, God loves them too.
Look at King Manasseh, he killed so many people blood filled the streets of Jerusalem. And God forgave him.
2 Kings 21:!6

God hates sin, but loves the sinner. We should do so as well.

When the Bible speaks of hate, I don't think it's speaking about how we feel about people. I think it's speaking of how we treat people.

For some reason I know the hate you are talking about is deep pain. Lately I am feeling that groaning pain as well.

It is oppression guys and all christians are feeling this. Everyone that I have talked too. It is so heavy and sad..
I rebuke it in Jesus name. I renounce all that satan is throwing at us in Jesus mighty and all powerful name EVERY knee must bow.

Some people are more sensitive to the spiritual realm and we are feeling deep pain for God’s creation. I think there’s been an awakening lately; the creation is groaning, and that includes us. The other day I was meditating about the volcanos that are erupting and I realized it is creation groaning.

For a few days my spirit keeps singing this song over and over. When that happens I know I am supposed to declare it as a prayer because that’s what the Spirit is saying/feeling/groaning.

Come Save

Time is running out,
Come save.
Death is creeping in,
Come save.
We humble ourselves and seek your face
Pour out your mercy like rain

Your sons and your daughters
Cry for you.
The waves of the waters
Reach for you
And all of creation rises up
And screams out your name
Come Save...
