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 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.
That's not unlikely
I try to keep myself level headed
I hope to God that nothing as horrible will befall me
I was atheist for a while and i hated it
It made me feel nothing but sheer loneliness and it was like a void in my chest
So i’ll likely never abandon Christ
What made you find god? @Deleted User
Lmfao
You literally have a religion because you want to
@eno2 The undying reason for me to have a purpose
Christ fulfills that purpose in every way. Giving me strength, repentance, and mental contentment.
I'm glad you see that religious utility is all that matters, @Deleted User
