Subject: Obedience in Love? |
Bible Note: I did not say we are to treat them with hate, only that we should be obedient and not treat them with love. God's love is Holy. The command is to not give that which is holy to dogs (non-Covenant.) The command is for brethren to love brethren. God doesn't give His Holy Love to non-Covenant. Not even God casts His Pearl, Jesus Christ, to swine. Neither should we. God hates the unatoned sinner. It is this people that Christ comes to destroy. And He is successful, too. Thank God. If you want to continue to love that which God hates that's on you. But for thousands of years God did not send the high priest to the heathens to pray and offer sacrifices for them. Think of the millions that God did not save nor atone and then tell me God loves all people the same. There have always been two groups of people in the world: Covenant and non-Covenant. |
