Yeah but, and you know this, when I hate i get sick to my stomach. It is a noxious emotion and perhaps very unnatural.
That doesn’t mean I dont want to defeat the enemy. But hating them just makes my BP go up and gives me an ulcer.
You dont have to hate your enemy to defeat them, right? Asking your cause you’re the biblical scholar and I only know the highlights!!
I’d think that most world faiths, let alone Christianity, would believe that if there can be a non violent solution to a general problem, it ought to be pursued.
But if you actually met one of these loons trying to kill you or a neighbor, you’d be justified to use the “sword” that Jesus counseled to take.
Also I wish the best to an attempt to sue these bastards, who do appear to be inciting to violence with the way they talk.
The problem with generalized hate is that it saps our resolve in the long run. Wasting our wrath on a general problem that we can’t really do anything about, we can find ourselves unable to address a specific problem when it pops up.
