HATRED

---

In the above passage King David is telling God that his level of hatred is 100%. Proverbs 9:16-19 records six things that God hates. I pray that you learn each of them. And so, since God "hates" and he can do no wrong then developing perfect hatred is appropriate hate. Which, in turn strongly suggests that that it would be wise for those who of us who are on God`s side to hate what God hates. The more our love grows for God the more our hatred for what`s evil should grow, right?

But here comes Jesus in Matthew 5:44 teaching his followers to love their enemies. There is no contradiction here.  You see we are to hate them as God hates not as man hates. This means that we are not to hate what God made them, but to hate what they have made themselves by their sinfulness. You see, it's impossible to hate like God when we pick and choose what we hate. Perfecting hatred describes not hating what God created or hating some sin but hating all sinful activities. For example, to strongly hate same sex marriage and not have the same level of hatred about cheating on your spouse is not appropriate hate in God` eyes. In all thy getting get understanding. Amen

Like all emotions, appropriate hatred, in spite of its level of intensity, it is simply trying to protect you. Hate is often misunderstood, and it has some unique features, such as the motivation to eliminate the object of your hatred. You hate something because of what it is, unlike getting angry for what has been done. The physiology of hate is a long-term experience, oh yeah we need time and much information to hate

We live in a fallen world, consequently some circumstances will bring you much aggravation, and so when any situation brings aggravating thoughts into your head, and since you can`t fight how you feel such frustrating situations are normal. Your mind during such situations is actually trying to help you, you just have to listen.It truly becomes a lesson in keeping it 100% with yourself. T

To keep it 100% with yourself you must make the distinction between what we have discussed above and what the dark side describes as "hate-motivated Behavior" which can be thought of as verbal or nonverbal expressions of discrimination: Hate speeches, hate crimes, targeted communities, etc... Oh, how the evil one knows that hate spreads easier than anger! You see, hate can spread from one generation to another much easier than anger and frustration.
