Subject: Hatred..Am I truly a Christian?? |
Bible Note: Bad, sad advice to a hurting soul, Jim. How distressing it is to read this on Study Bible Forum. Think about the impact of what you've told this person, and please consider a retraction and an apology, for they are in order. It doesn't appear at all that you are accurately handling the word of truth according to the command laid down in 2 Timothy 2:15, Jim. .... Please look at your New Testament and mark all the verses wherein we are commanded to love on another. Then mark all the verses that teach it is o.k. to hate one another. Tally your score and let the Forum know the results. --Hank |
