How Can You Claim to Love God Yet Hate So Many Fellow Humans?

~~Christ's Foreskin~~

What the title says. Love for god is love of all things. The hatred you all hold in your heart is indicative of the hypocritical lives you are leading. You disparage people based on their race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc. Yet these are all human beings, no different at the core than any of you. You parade around talking about the ills that abound around you and failing to realize all of the internal ills that are afflicting you. It is your internal sickness that causes you to find flaws with people who are just as perfect as you. We are all complete beings, slivers of the eternal soul, aspects of the infinite allness; hate of others is merely externalized hate of self. I love you all and hope that one day you can see the reality of what you are engaging in.

Love,

Doesn't the Bible say to love your neighbor?

Yes. Does that mean to lie to him and tell him what he wants to hear? No. It means to tell him the truth, and warn him to flee from the wrath to come. As we are commanded in Leviticus 19:17, "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him." Here, loving your neighbour is defined as rebuking him, and not allowing sin to come upon him. Further, we have never suggested that we don't love our neighbor. We're not saying "We hate sinners" - we're saying "God hates sinners." The purest, most exalted form of love is to tell people the truth, especially about weighty matters such as life and death, sin, righteousness, judgment to come, Heaven and Hell.

But remember, David said: "Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? Am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine enemies." Psalm 139:21, 22. David hated God's enemies with a perfect, spiritual hatred (as opposed to the fickle human emotion of hatred), just as all of God's elect do.

Perfect? Who here is perfect?
