Grace for your spirit
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. I John 3:15There is absolutely no circumstance where we have the right to hate someone. God equates hate with murder and we cannot have eternal life abiding in us. We certainly have the right to hate evil things that ruins people's lives. We must hate the evil things that people do, but we must separate the sin from the sinner. Jesus said He hated the deeds of the Nicolaitans in the book of Revelation. He hated the deeds, not the people. Jude called us to hate the garment that is polluted by the flesh, but to restore the one who has been polluted, snatching them out of the fire. Proverbs tells us that to fear the Lord is to hate evil, and lists many things that God hates, but He never hates people. Mankind is God's creation, sin is the devil's work. Let's love the Lord's work and hate the devils.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
