Subject: Hatred..Am I truly a Christian?? |
Bible Note: Excellent, Cheri. We all of us (including Jim) must realize that we are not in charge of things, we are not sovereign ... no, we are not God. And, as you said appropriately in the opening of your post to Jim, we are commanded to love. God does not grant His people the option to hate. Blessings to you, Cheri. --Hank |
