Can You Hate Someone and Be a True Christian? - Tim Conway

[@robbykband]

A wonderful message and a blessing to me! Thanks.

[@bejjinks]

Thank you so much. This video gives me a lot of assurance. I am frequently attacked by someone trying to convince me that I'm not a Christian because my walk is not perfect or because I'm from a different background and habits. How tired I am of the fighting. How hungry I am for fellowship with the brethren. And this isn't a wimpy desire to quit fighting. This is a desire for truth and sound doctrine. I'll fight for truth and sound doctrine. I'm tired of how the world fights just to fight.

Thank you. This was a blessing to me. Struggling with this issue in my life at the moment!

There is a difference between anger and hate. You can be angry at someone you love. Anger is a feeling directed at an action or behavior. Hate is directed at a person. "That whosever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment." excerpt from Matthew 5:22. It is possible for Christians to be angry with each other without sin. But even here we must be careful that our anger has a cause, that we resolve it quickly, and that we don't hate.

@yammybo Bible verse: "Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief." 1 Timothy 1:13 "As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance." 1 Peter 1:14

Good thoughts here. Thank you.

[@bejjinks]

@BookofActsChurch Seems good to me. I listened for a while and everything I heard matched up with what I know of the Bible.

[@bejjinks]

For example, today I was watching videos about pomegranates and I noticed several people had made vicious comments and called each other names and I thought, "What idiocy that the world would hate and be mean to each other over pomegranates."

Thats because when you get the Holy Ghost you have sudden LOVE for everyone---and we are not suppose to change or backslide from that. If there's a prob with any---PRAY for them.

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

No. I feel hate for a lot of people, especially the ones who are mockers of what's righteous. I am saved and I always repent, but I am still human with fleshly emotions because feelings and emotions don't leave you when you are a believer, and you still have to deal with it every day. No one has achieved perfection except Jesus. So, if you are living in a bubble and think you feel love for everyone you're not being challenged. Love is an action and not a feeling, so you make choices to act like Jesus as much as possible, but you will fail because you're still with the old nature.

[@bejjinks]

@lllzehcnaslll Yes, I just tell it like it is. "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth." 1 Corinthians 13:6. Because I love you, I tell you the truth. Because I love you, I do not deceive you or lie to you. Because I love you, I do not tell you what you want to hear but instead I tell you what you need to hear. Because I love you, I do not make false promises that I do not intend to keep. Because I love you, I tell you the correct way to paradise hoping you don't head for Hell.

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

So you are always loving all the time and never fail? No. Jesus is the only one who never fails. Jesus is The only One Who is perfect

[@bejjinks]

@yammybo Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did not mean that humans can be redeemed because Satan created evil. I meant that humans can be redeemed because our sin is in ignorance and I meant that Satan cannot be redeemed because his sin was in full knowledge. The word limits on these messages can sometimes cause us to be too brief and skip important phrases. Satan created sin with full knowledge of what he was doing. We were born with a sin nature before we had the slightest knowledge.

[@bejjinks]

@yammybo Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41 The everlasting fire (Hell) was created not as a place for Satan to rule, but as a place of eternal punishment for Satan and his followers. It was not made as a punishment place for humans but any human who is outside of the will of God the Father and who has become irredeemable by rejection of the work of the Cross, will end up there.

[@bejjinks]

@lllzehcnaslll There is an absolute truth. This world had a beginning and it will have an end. There are no ages and no repeating of cycles. When this world ends, there will be a bodily resurrection, not a reincarnation, and we will all be separated into two groups. Some of us will go to everlasting paradise where we will need no sun because the Lord Jesus Christ will be our light. Some of us will go to everlasting punishment from which there is no escape.

[@heartofsilver777]

When it says that if you say you love God and you don't love another person then you are a liar, how can that be? I am so distressed on that subject :(

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

Don't be. We still have our flesh nature and it's a battle to continue every day, with the help of The Holy Spirit, to choose to be like Jesus. I am constantly failing in my thoughts, actions, and ways, because I'm not perfect, but I'm being perfected by my relationship with Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Just be repentent and stay in God's Word. Ask The Holy Spirit to help you.

[@bejjinks]

@bejjinks The apple never was evil but Adam's act of disobedience was outside the will of God and therefore Adam's act was evil. The snake specifically refers to Satan and as discussed before, he is evil. But for the rest of us, God has sent his only begotten son to die on the cross and rise again because God does not want to send any of us to Hell. But in his justice, he will have to send those of us to Hell that reject the redemptive work of Jesus.

[@bejjinks]

@lllzehcnaslll If I warn you that stabbing your eyes will blind you, does that make it my fault if you blind yourself? If I warn you that touching a hot stove will burn you, does that make it my fault if you burn your hand? If I warn you that hate will eat your soul, does that make it my fault if you let hate eat your soul? If I warn you that sexual perversion twists your soul, defiles your body and reduces your ability to connect with people, does that make it my fault if you are lonely?

[@yammybo]

@bejjinks sorry i meant to say the verse that proves humans had the chance to be redeemed because Satan created evil. i already knew hell was meant for the devil because of his rebellion.

[@yammybo]

@bejjinks hi, bejjinks. I never thought it that way. I couldn't understand why God only redeems humans. it sounds pretty convincing but i never approached a verse that confirms what you said. can you tell me the verse that talks about this? i want to check it out.

[@bejjinks]

@bejjinks And we were all born outside of the will of God the Father which is sin and evil but God has mercy on us because the sin nature we are born with, we received out of ignorance unlike Satan who had full knowledge but sinned anyway. Ezekiel 28:13-18 describes clearly how Satan was beautiful and full of wisdom until he became corrupted by pride for Satan desired to usurp the throne from God.

[@bejjinks]

@SAUNDERSacts2618 God hates sin more than God hates the sinner. In fact, the only reason that God hates the sinner is because the sinner sins. If the sinner would repent and turn from his sins, God will still hate the sin but will love the repentant sinner.

[@bejjinks]

@lllzehcnaslll He made the "apple" but he didn't make it evil. He made the snake but he didn't make it evil. God did not create evil. Evil by definition is anything that is outside the will of God so it would be impossible for God to create anything outside his own will. That is why Satan doesn't even have the option of redemption. We can be redeemed because we didn't create sin. Satan created sin and therefore is condemned without the option of redemption.

[@bejjinks]

@lllzehcnaslll Your questions are not questions but assumptions. The only way I can answer your questions is to agree or disagree. Therefore, my answer is that I disagree with your assumptions. You are obviously well initiated into the New Age and not a Christian at all. God does still love you but I know that unless you repent, you will wind up cast into Hell and that is the everlasting punishment and not a temporary purgatory.

[@bejjinks]

@bejjinks By the way, we are allowed to hate Satan. God hates Satan. But we are not allowed to hate any human because humans are redeemable and so long as humans are redeemable, we ought to be about the business of redeeming them and you can't be about the business of redeeming the lost if your tied up by hate. So NO, WE CANNOT HATE ANY HUMANS AND STILL BE CHRISTIANS.

[@bejjinks]

@lllzehcnaslll Even then, God doesn't hate you. Don't you understand that as a just God, he has to send people to Hell even though he doesn't want to.

[@lonewolfadam11]

i hate my brother,brother.And he is making it hared to like him and i hate him

[@Saunders7]

God hates,Psalms 5:5..Not the sin but the person.

[@SBH618]

I know how to speak French.

[@betlamed]

LOL. We don't want our cult members to be on their own, because then they might end up in the red light district and maybe discover that god won't strike them down for acting on their natural impulses.
