In response to Motdaugrnds's statement perhaps I was being esoteric when I said one must hate the hate. It's not easily understood. God does not want hate in the world and God does not want one to love evil. Evil is hate. One must hate evil to love what is good. There must be division at some point recognizing what is wrong for the good of mankind and what is not. God is love but at some point he will send Jesus to kill those that do not love but instead they hate others for personal gain and control. Armageddon is the result of God hating the hate. The kind of thoughts we have and the kind of attitudes we hold reflect our spiritual being. God will renew and restore love for all eliminating hate from the world but until then we must hate, meaning strongly disapprove of because it is opposite of the divine direction Jesus has given us, the hatefulness of others and replace it with compassion in our hearts. Faith encourages one to understand that to hate hate which is to be in opposition to evil, is to love.
