    Should I love or hate the devil
  • Gigi - In Reply on Luke 8:14 - 3 years ago
    Hi Lisa

    Psalm 97:10

    Tells us:

    You who love the Lord, hate evil!

    Since satan is totally evil, we should hate him and all sin and wickedness,

    Since humans are not totally evil like devils, we are to love others and minister to them with prayer, the word, and good works that help them, even when they are our enemies, persecute us, wrong us, or do evil.

    Matt. 5:43-45

    However, we are not to revile Satan or evil powers as even Michael the archangel does not disrespect these beings. Jude : 8-10.

    So, we are to speak to them with the authority of Jesus, as Michael did and said: "The Lord rebuke you!"

    But I don't think it is right to talk "smack" to any evil being.

    Lisa Romans 12 :2 starts out what or some things how to think in the renewed mind, and in verse 9 let love

    be without dissimulation [no hypocrisy in any action] Abhor[shrink from or another perspective to treat with

    absolute disgust that which is evil, cleave to that which is good Gods Word. The challenge is still walking in

    the love of God spiritual love we despise the acts of sin but love the unlovable, what a balance! We always

    despise the author of sin the devil.
