Jesus loves everyone from the day they are born but still some people don't cherish that and have hate in their hearts. Why???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the title question, no, the line not thin, it is a wide gulf! One looks nothing like the other. Jesus loves people, from way before their birth, from before the foundation of the world. My question to you is, what are you personally, doing in response to His love for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice how people that hurt/harm you the natural response is hatred of them and this is the pathway of evil for all do this naturally... God so Loved in His very Being and nothing can be brought against that to change or alter His Identity in Loving (this is seen perfectly in the Cross He suffered on)- only rejection of God's Love keeps us to remain in the hate... You see when I believed in Jesus >The Biblical representation of The Son of God< I was left with the need to do this one thing and that was to ask God to forgive me of my being of hate/anger and to place a new (b/B)eing within me that could receive His Love that could not be turned into anger/hate but remain His Love... This is what The Bible calls being born again! This birth 'IS' sealed with the very Person of God 'The Holy Spirit' Who remains with us, (inside next to our new being), to lead us and direct us and teach us, through The Word of God, the right way and insures our understanding of such by practicing it here in the place of the wrong way! This The Word of God (Bible) calls the walk with God and as we do so- we see and understand the nature of the wrong way and why the right way given us by God is The Way, The Truth and The Life. When people grow in God and see there literally is nothing in this world to go back to for it is void of The Life we now have in God...

Because of non-conformity with the purposes of ministering to SEEKERS, this thread may be temporary, subject to deletion or moving to another area.

People are molded by their upbringing and experience with others and this of course leads to people who would rather hate than do good. They have the power to change to, yet some choose not to because they enjoy being nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didnt kill Jesus because they didnt know who he was-- they killed him because the did know who he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
