Subject: Hatred..Am I truly a Christian?? |
Bible Note: Jim Trail, You say you don't see in the bible where it says it's wrong to hate. Take a good look at 1 Jn 2:9-11 and 1 Jn 3:15. This is a pretty clear depiction of how God views hate. Ro 12:9 what are we commanded to do here. Jn 3:16-God so loved the world He gave... Do we have the right to hate anyone? Study this out. Do a word study and hates in it's various usages and contexts. It'll be an eye opener. In Him, lionheart |
