Zone1 You must hate evil

[Votto]

Well said!

I like the line, "Don't try to be more Christ like than Christ."

Christianity is not about being nice, it is about standing in truth.

And yes, it very may well get you killed, but you have a better world and eternity as a result.

OK, I hate dems because they are both vile and evil.....Does that put me square with the Lord?

I sort of doubt it but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

So follow what Charlie says and not Christ, as Christians.....Okee Dokee...

Abhor evil yes, but not the evil doers...you are to love them, and continue to love them, even if being evil to you....so that it will be like burning coals on their head...it will burn them up with guilt, because they don't expect the kindness and love in return for their evil.


"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (Matthew 5:44, NASB)

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. (Luke 6:32, NASB)

"By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35, NASB)

"Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. (John 15:9, NASB)

Luke 6:27-31–27;“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28;bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29;If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30;Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31;Do to others as you would have them do to you.
35;But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36;Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Proverbs 24:17​

17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice

20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

I pray for them every day.

Do I think it will help? Doesn't matter.

I don't know. Did you ask Him?

We should love the person and hate the sin. Jesus taught that we should love our enemies and pray for and do good to those who despitefully use us.

And everyone I know does just that.

WOW! You must have some really good friends!!

Christianity is kinder than Islam and Marxists.
Racists are often kind.
Especially with white.

The thing is, can good fruit come from a bad tree? Are people of cults evil? If by definition a cult is evil, can good people be in a cult? The answer is "NO." Good fruit cannot develop from a bad tree (cult). You may disagree with some doctrines that are of different churches, but that alone doesn't make them a cult.

Except if they decide to leave the cult, repent and ask forgiveness.

God is merciful. He tells us that we need to do the same.

- christians have been hating and persecuting the innocent for as long as their vile bible granted them their craven despotism using the heavens and jesus as their foil.

and those same who have no intention to listen than for their own misdeeds and predilections.

Not only Christians but many humans have been persecuting the innocent going back thousands of years. At least Christians preach peace and promote the intention of treating others with kindness.

not all have been organized to benefit collectively from their misdeeds ...

as today the demise for a free society the crucifiers relish without the liest remorse being their true motivation.
