1 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | Norrie | 131532 | ||
This was the daily devotional for today too. Would you say this addresses this too? This may come as a surprise to you, but because you are a Christian doesn't mean you have to love everything. Now, we hear that Christians are to be people of love, and that is true. But did you know that if you're a Christian, not only must you learn to love, but you must also learn to hate? If you love God, then you are to hate what God hates. It is true in every realm. If you love flowers, you hate weeds. If you love health, you hate germs. If you love God, you hate evil. It is just that plain. Romans 12:9b tells us in stronger terms to "abhor that which is evil." A hypocrite, which is something none of us want to be, is someone who says he loves God, but then he doesn't hate sin. Don't tell others you love God if you don't hate that which nailed Him to the cross. "Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; He perserveth the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked." Psalm 97:10 |

Greetings Norrie! Scripture certainly never calls us to love 'everything'. But, it does call us to love everyone. I firmly believe in the right to self defense. If someone tried to harm my family, I would do all that I had to do to stop them. However, I would still be obligated to love them. Loving someone doesn't mean that I have to let them kill my family. If I could have stopped 9/11 or the Russian school attacks, I would have. But, I can't allow myself to then hate my enemy. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
