Explain all of that to me like I'm five.

The most important things in life are to love God and love one another.

Love is the key, not hate.
quote:

I can't understand how Christianity wasn't snuffed out millenia ago if we're forbidden from doing anything but loving our enemies and turning the other cheek.

It's a Christmas miracle. Love is skrong.

Are all the Crusaders who fought against the spread of islam burning in hell right now?

Considering they were mostly heathens, then yes, if you go in for that sort of thing.

Personally, I don't believe in Hell.

Personally, I believe in pushing the boundaries of "Righteous Indignation" to the very limit.

I’m sure it isn’t good for me. I’ll concede that.

But I can’t find one. I was using ChatGPT to help me out with this.
I asked even if I truly believe someone was pure evil, is it OK to wish them dead?
The answer is no because no one is beyond redemption.

I asked if someone blasphemed the Holy Spirit can I wish them dead?

No go on that either. And I had quite a list going. Oh well.


You can hate evil and you can and should hate those that hate God. That doesnt mean you cant pray for repentance for these people. There are some people that are evil with hardened hearts that hate God. David prayed for God to destroy these people. I have no problem asking God to bring justice to the unrepentantly wicked.

I haven't seen that passage in the NT.

I never said I was. Mainly because I still hold hatred in my heart for people.

I never claimed to.

On a related note, you don't speak for Christians either.


ETA: Why are you afraid to answer my question?

Can't now but would like to respond to this in more detail but:
a) Seems like there's some confusion regarding the relationship between the OT and NT Scriptures.
b) the level that Jesus' commands apply
c) maybe see how Bonhoeffer landed when he plotted to blow Adolf to smithereens.
