Bible Question:
Read Psa 139:17-22 for context. Are we to actually hate certain people at certain times, especially if they are hating the Lord and rising up against Him? Steve |
Bible Answer: Life Application says this: David's hatred of his enemies came from his zeal for God. David regarded his enemies as God's enemies, so his hatred was a desire for God's righteous justice and not for persona; vengence. Is it all right to be angry at people who hate God? Yes, but we must remember that it is God who will deal with them, not us. if we truly love God then we will be deeply hurt if somenoe hates Him. But while we seek justice against evil we must also pray that God's enemies will turn to Him before He judges them. Matt 5:44 also tells us to love our enemies. by loving them we can overcome evil with good. It is to be a 'righteous anger' that we should hve. prayon |
