Hatred

Some people, throughout the world, are

spiritually ill. They are afraid and/or fear

things and people who have been judged

and/or declared to be different and labeled

as dangerous. They tend to demonize and

feel threatened by perceived outsiders, and

even more often project/deflect their

unwanted feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame,

and other negative emotions onto the

supposed outsiders.

Some people are so corrupted, perverted,

blinded and enslaved by hatred that they

employ their creative faculties solely for

the purpose of ignorantly degrading and

disrespecting the personhood of others. They

will frequently descend into the most

diabolical parts of themselves in order to

dismiss, antagonize, eliminate, and or destroy

those they see as a threat/danger. They do this

to elevate their status... and it's not a good look.

The sinfully selfish emotion of hatred is

dangerous. It sets man against God and

his brethren. It allows people to see their

fellow man as not also made in the image

of God.

Hatred can lead to people

not seeing the object of their

hatred as fully human.

People can "Justify" acts of

vicious savagery, mercilessness,

and indignity when they have

dismissed people's humanity.

Hatred is a contagious dis-ease that

poisons the spirit. It is agitation coupled

with ignorance. It is the fleshly drive

which contaminates the soul.

Hatred is unrest and insanity caused by

misconceptions, suspicions, and fear.

When nurtured, hatred is the most useless,

uncivil, divisive, vengeful, unproductive,

and destructive emotion of all... and it

reveals far more about the hater than the

despised.

Hatred is a useless and misplaced emotion

that takes over the mind, pollutes the heart

and robs individuals of their peace and joy.

Hate is a toxic, consuming, destructive

emotion. This mental venom can

contaminate the spirit, poison the soul,

infiltrate and wreak havoc on all of our

relationships.

When embraced, hatred can be devastating

and mind consuming. Even the word has

potency, especially when spoken

from a friend, family member, or child.

Hatred directed against others

can be regarded as the worst of

human behavior.

Unabated hatred can sap our spirit,

tarnish our soul, and wash away our

days.

Defiance against God, His nature, and

His will is the source of all evil. When

people set themselves against God, they

give in to their fleshly inclinations,

whether unconsciously or deliberately.

God is love; God is the Source

of love. God is love; God is

the Source of love. Hate is the

sinful opposition to God's love.

It is completely contradictory

to the character of God.

Hate is a heart issue.

In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus clarified

that sin was not just outward behavior, it

began with the state of one's heart.

God is love; He is the Source

of love, the Giver of real life.

Hate is the sinful opposition to that

love. It is the opposite emotion and behavior

that Jesus Christ epitomized when He came

to die on the cross... paying the price for all

humanity.

The Scriptures are not silent or passive on

the subject of hatred. It is the polar opposite

attitude and action that Jesus Christ

exemplified when He came to suffer on

the cross for humanity's sins.

A harshly vile, negative, and/or critical

assessment/judgment of an individual

or a group is referred to as hatred.

Hatred rejects truth for lies, righteous

enlightenment for man's stupidity, and

God's mercy and justice for man's injustice.

This, in their narrow and petty minds,

excuses their awful behavior.

Hatred is evil, misguided,

deceptive, senseless, and

psychotic.

Hatred is agitation and insanity caused by

misconceptions, false assumptions, prejudices,

insecurities, suspicions, and fear.

Hatred blurs perception and prevents people

from becoming their best and highest selves.

Hatred or hate is an extreme emotional dislike

aimed at individuals, groups, entities, items,

behaviors, or concepts.

Hatred is a lethal fire in

the heart of the hater!

Hatred consumes and destroys people

from within. It is a contagious dis-ease

that poisons the spirit and the soul.

Much of the world's violent extremism

is fueled and driven by hatred. Hate

is the dangerously sinful driving force

behind the wicked choices, behaviors,

thoughts and actions people take.

This toxic influence causes people to hate

one another for a variety of superficial

reasons, including class, skin color, gender,

status, creed, ethnic differences, culture,

ideology, customs/social norms, political

viewpoints, physical or perceived attributes.

It causes confusion and paralysis

in life. It is spiritual suicide!

Disillusionment and insanity are

generated by inaccurate or unreasonable

conclusions, false assumptions, biases,

and insecurities, which leads to hatred.

Haters are not all insecure people, but all

weak, unhappy, insecure individuals are usually

haters. Their personal weaknesses/vulnerabilities

are concealed under their hatred. In their shallow

worldview, hatred elevates them (the hater)

above the hated.

What people hate about others is what

they fear and/or detest within themselves.

They project the unwanted parts of

themselves onto the targeted group or

individual. The idea is, "I'm not terrible,

wrong, or the issue; you are."

Haters nearly never hate on their own.

Individuals who would otherwise be weak

feel empowered when they join organizations,

which also provides them with a false sense of

security and lowers their accountability. This

emotional support tends to boost their

self-esteem while keeping them from soul

searching and maybe waking up to the truth

of their underlying insecurities.

They despise, dismiss, condemn, loathe, criticize, mock,

and disrespect others because they have been trained

to fear those who are different from them or who

are perceived to be a threat because of the color of

their skin.

Usually the things that others fear within themselves

is what they hate about others. As a result, people will

project their unlovable and morally reprehensible ill

will and negativity outward.

The idea is, "I'm not unacceptable; you are."

Far too many have been groomed and conditioned

to see reality through a very narrow and shallow

perspective. As a result, perceived outsiders can

cause one to feel insecure.

Hatred spreads and grows faster when

directed against a group rather than an

individual. When you hate a group, the

intensity of your hatred can rise even when

you are not presented with specific

individuals or opposing information from

the group—you are basing your hatred on

assumptions and prejudices.

The hater's animosity is far more

deadly to themselves than to their target.

Hatred often infects and destroys

the lifeboat that carries it.

Hatred typically leads to

corruption and consumes

the vehicle that transports it.

Hatred is like to swallowing arsenic and

awaiting the hated individual to die.

How is it possible that one could

hate "Others" without knowing

them at all?

Hatred is a poison that pollutes and destroys from within.

It produces bitterness that eats away at the hater's heart

and mind.

Hatred often reflects more upon the

hater than the hated.

A perverted heart constantly sows discord and plots

wicked, spiteful, vindictive, and evil schemes.

A dirty heart intentionally analyzes how to bring

injury to others. A corrupted heart is full of malice,

viciousness, and vindictiveness.

According to the Bible, such people are an

abomination in God's eyes!

Those who plot against others in their hearts

will reap a harvest of woe!

When the seeds of hatred and one's judgments

of other cultures are planted and nurtured in

society based on stereotypes originating in

one's own culture's ideals and practices, it has a

negative impact on all aspects of life.

No child is born with the ability

to hate; it is not in their nature.

Hatred is instilled.

Children pay attention

and learn.

Hatred is Poison.

More often than not, hatred corrupts and

consumes the vessel that harbors it.

Life is indeed very brief.

Creating hatred is a pointless

waste of precious time.

God is equally concerned with each individual

He made. As we explore the Scriptures and learn

about our equality before God and the origins of

creation, it should be enough to put a stop to the

lunacy!

According to Scripture...

We are all created in the

image of God.

The only cure, remedy,

and solution is God.

God is Love,

and Love is the cure!

Jesus knew what hatred was

because He was hated in His

day. Because of this, He knew

and prophesied that His

followers would be hated by

all nations and suffer for

His Name's sake.

Despite being hated Himself, Jesus did not

hate His enemies, and those who follow Him

should do the same, "But to you who are

listening I say:

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate

you, bless those who curse you, pray for those

who mistreat you."

Luke 6:27-28
