Wise Words About How Destructive Hate is: We Must Love, Otherwise We Gain Nothing!

 

Thou shalt not hate! 

Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate[a] robe for him.  When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.

-Matthew 5:21-22

-Proverbs 10:18

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 

-1 Corinthians 13:1-3

There is so much in the Bible about hate and love! We must choose love, not hate. Unfortunately, today we see and hear so much hate every single day. Especially from the liberal left, they hate people and because of their hate, they accept mediocrity and others being unjust, bribing, fraud, corruption, etc. Their hate allows so much wrong doing, all because they hate, and for no reason. Do they have God? Do they read the Bible or understand the teachings of Jesus? Are they just jealous, envious, full of venom and hate so much, just to hate, like the brothers of Joseph were to sell their own brother? It is sad today in our society the hate we see from elected, so-called leaders, the so-called pillars of our society, hate is accepted even at a cost. It is very sad to see. Heartbreaking really! God does not like this sin of hate, he knows how destructive it is in our society, how divisive it is. We must love. All people are God's children and have good and bad qualities, hate is a cop out! Don't join the hate club! Don't join the negative Nelly's. Don't become so deranged that you forget about love and how we are all God's children, brothers and sisters. We see so much evil today. The devil is at work dividing us, we need to love, we need to unite, we need to stop all the negativity and hate, to the point of being deranged. Our society has become deranged today, it is sad. We need a lot of prayers. We accept mediocrity and fraud, just because we hate the other person. God figure? God help us all to love more!
