That's interesting Maksim

It is important to show empathy for your enemy, but do not let him trample you.

@Deleted User You are misinterpreting the meaning of the word love

How so?

This seems to jive with the traditional view that Christianity was the synthesis of Greek natural law philosophy and Hebrew faith

An example of correct love would be having a homosexual, and you care for him, so you give them therapy and try to convert them, peacefully

An incorrect example of love would be "homosexuals are a okay i love all of you yaaaaay"

In a sense, Stoic law?

Love doesn't mean peace or something, it means willing the good of others. If your enemy is trying to kill your people, you massacre them out of love.

If you can stop them without killing them, always do so

So love is more of a will to defend and uphold?

It's a will for the good

What is hate then?

Is it to hate that which destroys good?

Well hate I suppose is willing evil if we are using this conception.

I've never given much thought about that side of it

That is what i've been concerning myself in lately.

The Idea of what defines hate.

Because i don't think hate is necessarily something that wills evil, as many men do believe. I think hate is more of a concept that wants to destroy a certain thing, whether it be good or evil is a different struggle.

Well I'm talking about the traditional concepts

The words have shifted to mean more anger and calm

As you seem to think of them

In this i don't believe hate is at all bad.

Which is fine, but don't project them onto theology or the bible

Understandably so, but as a personal philosophy i believe hate is simply a will to destruct at something.

Intertwined with my Religious beliefs however it makes sense that the Lord would want us to hate certain things. Hate that which destroys all things good.

Because to say that we cannot hate is foolish, as it is part of our nature as men.

Well you just projected your own definition on theology again

No one says you can't be angry

In fact we aren't angry enough

I do not like the idea of being angry.

It makes men act irrationally

It's called righteous indignation

To be angry is to lose all focus, but to be hateful is to hold spite for one thing and wish to cease it.

I just realised trump openly admitted to planning warcrimes which is kind of based ig

I can understand where you may come from saying that Anger can make men do the righteous.

I'm not saying your definition is wrong, that's non sensical. I'm saying what you are referring to would be a form of love.

Under the traditional theological terms

So love in itself is a part of hate?

No

Just throw your invented terms out of your head

@Eoppa One of us, someday, will accidentally excommunicate ourselves from our respective Church.
