The Damning Emotion of Hatred Hatred is the uninhibited flame that fuels the murderous impulse.

It is the unre strained seedling plant which eventually grows to its malevolent maturity. It is the worst of emotions. Hatred towards ones fellowman will ultimately damn the so ul it possesses. It is one thing to dislike a person to take displeasure in someones attitudes, ac tions and lifestyle. One may even be frustrated with people, situations and circ umstances. Frustration, dislike, displeasure, or even anger, cannot match the ra ge that ensues with hatreds venomous emotion. Anger is oftentimes a mental reflex. Left unchecked and unrestrained, it becomes a hell on wheels, to whomever it confronts. Frustration, displeasure and dislike, g raduate into anger. It is fed by erroneous beliefs and immoral choices. Once ang er becomes hatred, it consumes the one who hates. Hatred is, by far, the worst h uman emotion, because it leaves in its maddening and deepening tracks, present a nd eternal gruesome consequences. Human history is replete with hatreds tsunami type devastation. Volumes fill libr ary shelves telling both the negative and destructive results of hatreds emotion, unleashed. Recent past history showcases Adolph Hitlers hatred, turned vengeance , against 6 million Jews, and other peoples. More recently, hatred is personifie d in both the rhetoric and murderous actions of global terrorists who strap bomb s to their children to fuel their maddening and deadly feuds -- hatred gone wild at its worst destroying innocent human lives. Biblical Revelation Reveals Hatreds Eternal Consequences Those who reject the Triune Gods Biblical revelation uick to ignore the Scriptures pronunciation on those ion. And, naturally, so. Ignorance is bliss; and also the authority and integrity of the Divine Revelation ortunity to exercise free will and independence. gift to humanity are often q who are ruled by hatreds emot stubborn refusal to accept gives an individual an opp

Those who reject Divine Revelation are often prone to do so because they cannot imagine that people who live a lifestyle of hatred (nor, themselves), will suffe r the tormenting eternal damning consequences. Going out of their way to ignore hatreds nth degrees, these people will go so far as to say that even the Hitlers of humanity will eventually end up in heaven -- so goes Universalisms belief. But the Biblical Revelation makes it quite clear that to live a life of hatred t owards ones fellowman is an automatic banishment from Gods present and future pres ence. The Christian New Testament Letter of John 1:1f, is a short and revealing additi on to the Divine Revelation. All Christians should read and re-read and thoroughly digest its contents. It is a Scriptural book that can be repeatedly utilized to evaluate ones adherence and commitment to the Christian Faith. I once did a part icular study on these 5 chapters and isolated 5 proofs of Christian identity. One of those proofs to evaluate ones genuine commitment and belief in Christ is the dem onstrated love that a person will show to his fellowman. This, of course, coinci des with what Christ talked about when He elaborated on the two major Commandmen ts Matthew 22:35;36;37;38;39;40 It is evident, that if a person lives a life of hatred there can be no question that this persons spiritual eternal existence belongs with the damned in hell. Th e New Testament Epistle of 1 John 3:14;15 speak to this reality: He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a mu

rderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. -- See al so 1 John 2:9;10;11 The Triune Loving God is [also] a God of Hatred One of the most quoted verses of Scripture is: God is love. It is derived from the following Scripture: He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. [1 John 4.9] And, even a more well know Scripture is the familiar: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever bel ieveth on Him shall not perish, but hath everlasting life KJV - Gospel of John 3:16; 1 7 But often one of the most neglected realities, is, that God is a God of hatred. The Triune God of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures hates sin! So much so, doe s this Holy God hate sin, that He is bound by His Name and other perfect attribu tes, to punish human sin to the fullest measure. [Ezekiel 18.20] The soul that si nneth, it shall die.. [KJV] Thats one of the major reasons there is a hell not, jus t, because people choose to follow their primrose path to its torment, acting up on their stubborn, free will. Friend, are you headed stubbornly in your own direction? Could you care less abo ut the Divine Revelation? Are you angered when other people call attention to yo ur inadequacies and inconsistencies? Do you become so riled that you resort to p ettiness and name calling? Have you become so self absorbed that you refuse to l isten to any authority but your own? Do you resent it when you are designated a damnable sinner? Are your incensed that there are people other than yourself who are so assured of their (blissful) eternal destiny that it makes you want to vo mit? Then, dear friend, you do have a huge problem. It isnt just, a present problem, b ut it is going to become your worst nightmare. Your stubborn refusal to listen a nd learn from the One (Christ) who was tormented and murdered for your sins, wil l be your undoing. You even though you may not be a hate monger, will stand in j udgment and punishment for all your sins against the Triune God for disobedience to His Ten Commandments. Dont further your guilt and judgment by saying that you havent lied, cheated and lusted. I assure you -- you will not be able to rest and be at peace. When you die, you will still continue to exist. You will either exist with life, eternal, or, your d eath will open up for you the living torments of eternal death. Having forsaken the Savior, your future eternal life will be death, -- in continual torment, because you chose and decided to deal with your sins, your way apart from Gods Remedy. [ Luke 16:19-31] Only through the shed blood of the Risen and Eternal Christ, will you find peace for your present, future and eternal existence. John 3:1-21 Swallow your pride. Come humbly to Gods Throne of Grace [Luke 18:9-14 ; Luke 15:1 1-32] --confronting both the person and the sayings of Christ and -- finding in Him true peace with your Holy Creator God, who hates your sin and will hold you accountable for it. Find in Christ, Gods solution for your troubled soul. He is y our only way out. He is your only escape. He can be your life both now and after you breathe your earthly last. If you are confused, frustrated, angry and incensed to the point of hatred, read in the Gospels; what Christ has done for you taking upon Himself, your confusio n, frustration, your anger and even your hatred to appease a Holy and Just God, who will some day be your eternal Judge. Believe you me Christ can be your perfe ct companion. It says in Scripture that Christ s enemies hated Him without a cause. [John 15.2

5] Why? Because He was (is) sinless. He was the perfect sacrifice for all your s ins, that if unrepented of, will plummet you into the lake of fire where you will truly experience an eternal judgment and punishment, for all your sins. Revelati on 20:12;15 Believe Christs and His written revelation Words. When you truly believe Christ, and turn from your sins, then you will possess both the present and eternal Advo cate (Attorney) working on your behalf, to free you from your well deserved futu re indictment and eternal death sentence because of your past and present sins a gainst God and His Ten Commandments. May God move you by His Holy Spirit to take His Words of Scripture seriously. Re ad them; listen to them. Realize that is is God s divine written revelation that is his precious gift to you. May you come to faith by that written revelation a s it is the Lord s means of grace to work saving faith within your spirit. Roman s 1:16; Romans 10:17 ; 1 Peter 1:23 ; Acts 8:26-39 Amen.
