Hate

<< < (2/2)

santikos:
i guess there are different meaning for different people and things.
If you hate someone you should be able to laugh at their funeral, after spiting on them as they lie in their coffin. maybe even mock them by moving thier lips and slapping them around a bit while they are just there dead. you might be able to cut them to see if they bleed, remember, all the while you are laughing and dancing with unspeakable joy. if you can do that then you might hate them.  Other than that you might just dislike or dislove someone.

Revilonivek:
Hate is pretty much what it is... if you have any grudges or hard feelings toward anyone- that's hate.

1 John 2:9 (Contemporary English Version)

9If we claim to be in the light and hate someone, we are still in the dark.

We are not to be of this world- we are to be set apart and not follow the world's standard of hating others when others offend you.

God's pure religion is to show unconditional love and help others.

people during Jesus' time hated the prosquites, tax collectors, or anyone that didn't meet their standard of religious living. Jesus treated these very same people differently and better.

That's the hardest thing to do- Only God can help us do that and we should all pray for that fruit :)

 the goal is to not be offended "at alll"  I learned that when others offend you, it is because they don't have it in their hearts to do the right thing. doing the right thing comes  from the spirit. That is why we can't judge others and forgive them anyway.  it is in their hearts to be that way unless God gives them the fruit to change to do the right thing.  and think about it.. when someone offends you.. remind yourself what judgement day is for... to set things right and once things are set right- these very same people will be your perfect people in your lives who offends no one anymore.

All in due time :)

What are things that you would see in yourself that would let you know? Especially if you didn't think you hated them.

Hi Antaiwan,

I'm a little confused by your question as stated above, however I will share with you a personal experience with hatred on my part.

The last time I told someone I hated them, and really meant it with all my heart and soul, was about 27 years ago.  The person who received this declaration from me had done, and said, somethings that caused me to be fearful of his actions which could have caused me and my daughter pain and suffering.  I have given much thought over the years to those extreme emotions this person solicited from me and I can only conclude that definitely fear was the root cause of my feelings.  This does not excuse or justify these feelings of hatred I had for this person at that moment, however it does help me to now better understand the scripture that states that , "There is no fear in love: but perfect love cast out fear..." - 1John4:18

I know this does not answer your question, but this is what came to my mind when you opened this discussion. Hopefully, it will help in some way. ???

Hey Rene'
I was pretty angry when I wrote this.
I feel much better today but this hate in my heart needs to be dealt with.

I really appreciate everyone's replies
Thank You!
