Throughout your life, people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, because in the end, hate in your heart will consume you.” ― Will Smith
History is beset with acts of violence committed by depraved, disturbed and hateful human beings. According to the Genesis account of creation, God brought forth humanity on the earth, mankind fell, and it wasn’t long before a hate fueled murder occurred on the outskirts of Eden. So it began, and hatred continues to plague humanity to this very day. I have read many explanations as to why we have reached a new crescendo of hatred. The fickle finger of blame is blowing in the wind like a weather-vane. To me it is really rather simple: wherever you find a culture that is driven by an “us” versus “them” mentality, you will also find disharmony and all other kinds of evil (James 3:16). Beware the toxic evil spirit of hate. It is a powerful motivator. Spawned in fear, if left to grow unfettered, it will first consume you and in the end it will destroy you.
The 1983 Sci-Fi film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of The Jedi, features a scene in which the evil Emperor Palpatine attempts to persuade young Luke Skywalker to join The Dark Side. Emperor “evil personified” speaks these oft’ quoted words: “Good, good, let the hate flow through you.” In the fantasy world of Star Wars, hate as well as other darker emotions (fear, anger, and aggression) allows one to tap into the power of the dark side.
Mere make-believe you say? True enough, but only a fool would deny the profound dark side that grips our world today. The insidious spread of malevolence which regularly disrupts the peaceful fabric of our social order is increasingly rooted and grounded in HATRED. Maybe the late Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s observation in his 1863 poem Christmas Bells was correct. He wrote:
“And in despair I bowed my head; There is no peace on earth,’ I said; for hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good-will to men!”
Hardly a day goes by when we do not hear of some horrendous act spurred on by hate. The vitriol of hatred can divide friends, family, a nation and the world. Hate destroys. People who are filled with hatred look upon life through a jaundice eye of extreme disdain. Fueled by this odium, they often passionately spew discord – even hostility – that is forged in the narrow-minded fires of resentment, distrust, bigotry, and contempt.
Hate is widespread in our modern culture. Racial, ethnic, homophobic, religious and social class hatred is everywhere. You name it and someone, somewhere probably HATES it with a passion.
I’m no saint (far from it), but I can honestly say that I have never – even in anger – said with passion, I hate you to anyone. Sadly, I’ve been on the receiving end of those three terrible words more than I care to remember. The wounds heal with time, but they leave little telltale scars.
Think about it: Does hate resolve problems? Tell me the last time hatred brought about a solution or positive change? Have you ever met a truly happy hater? I don’t think so.
This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower
Frequent readers already know that I’m a follower of the great teacher and liberator known by his human name “Jesus”. I believe in His mission and His message. My faith is much more than a mere “religion” – it is my way of life. Some people have a real problem with that – even to the point of hatred. How bizarre, considering that in most cases, we’ve never spoken nor met. But they have already formed an opinion based upon their biased ideas about Christianity (or religion in general).
My worldview is deeply rooted in the Judeo-Christian ethic which influences and shapes my character. It helps me to differentiate right from wrong, and to make wise choices. When I encounter anything that clearly opposes my system of values – I choose to reject it. It’s not open for debate. Genuine “truth” is neither erasable nor amendable. You will never convince me that some of the clear instructions of Jesus, for instance, need to be modified or repealed. Contrary to the opinions of pop culture, the ancient scriptures do not need to be revised, they need to be revisited.
Genuine Biblical Christianity is defined by a system of well-worn spiritual and moral beliefs, rooted and grounded in the Newer Testament writings. Believers hold these “truths” to be absolute (i.e. set in stone). They are a filter through which we scrutinize this present-day world system. I dissect the philosophies and traditions of its various peoples, organizations, religions and (especially) governments by the principles and precepts found in the scriptural texts. This does not make me better than or superior to anyone, but neither does it make me a hate filled narrow-minded intolerant bigot.
I have never burned the Koran. I’m not a homophobic crusader. You will never find me yelling horrible things at frightened young women going into abortion clinics. And, I have never stood on a street corner holding placards that condemn every passing motorist to an eternity in hell because of their sinfulness. Forcing others to blindly accept my way “or else” has not once even entered my mind. In fact, it never entered Jesus’ mind either. He merely spoke the truth and warned of the penalties associated with its rejection. I’ve made my choices in life; you must make yours, and we’ll each live with the consequences.
There will be times when I cannot accept a political, moral, or lifestyle position simply because you think I should. Being true to my heartfelt convictions is not the same as intolerance or hatred. Even the “Lex terrae” (Law of the Land), if it is contrary to the clear teachings of scripture, may need to be resisted – even defied – if that law ever put me in direct disobedience to the higher laws of our Creator.
Listen, I am really sorry for all of the misinformed zealots, and assorted religious wackos you may have encountered over the years. I’ve run into a few of them myself. If ignorance is bliss, some have truly reached “nirvana.” It saddens me when I see so-called “followers of Jesus” attack and insult the very people whom they are called to love. I readily concede that any supposed Christian who lives as a self-righteous, prideful and hate-filled bully is a blight on the fruit of genuine truth. I can’t do anything about them or your unfortunate experiences with them. It’s not my circus, Okay? Please, don’t hate nor reject the Almighty, or me, because of them. Historically, organized Religion (including Christianity) has always been a bit of a mess. That’s what happens when flawed and inadequate humans attempt to communicate a message of Divine origin.
You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people that you do.” ― Anne Lamotte
I have spent most of my adult life learning about and sharing the way, the truth and the life of the Liberator Jesus. It has been quite an adventure for me. Mind blowing really. I’ve discovered that when this other worldly Being emerged here on spaceship earth, He claimed to have been sent to mankind from the designer of all things (GOD). He said that he took on human form to communicate with people in a relevant and understandable way. As a prophet and teacher, He familiarized mankind with the source of their existence. His message was rooted in perfect love – not tolerance, as there is a huge difference. Jesus was not politically correct, and He often offended more people than I ever will. He was despised and rejected by the mainstream during His time on earth, but he readily identified with those who faced rejection, sorrow and grief. Finally, He was put to death at the hands of a vengeful and hate filled people. Incredibly, the grave could not hold him. His well-documented resurrection vindicated everything He taught. This humble man of sorrows overcame the hatred of ignorant humanity, and his Spirit continues to offer forgiveness and acceptance to all who answer the call. But that is what unpretentious love always does, right?
Look, I may not agree with nor be able to accept your way of life or your viewpoints. You can reject me and everything I believe too. We may even oppose one another outright in the marketplace of ideas. I will still choose to love you as a human being and that love comes without conditions.
Maybe you’re just not sure what to believe in these senseless days. Here’s something from the Newer Testament writings of Paul that I would really like to share with you:
12-15 “You should therefore be most careful, my brothers, that there should not be in any of you that wickedness of heart which refuses to trust, and deserts the cause of the living God. Help each other to stand firm in the faith every day, while it is still called “today”, and beware that none of you becomes deaf and blind to God through the delusive glamor of sin. For we continue to share in all that Christ has for us so long as we steadily maintain until the end the trust with which we began. These words are still being said for our ears to hear: ‘Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion’.” – Hebrews 3:12-15 – J.B. Phillips New Testament
Our Creator is in conflict with all forms of depravity and wickedness. Thankfully, the Almighty can separate sin from the sinner. Some say it this way; God hates the sin but loves the sinner. I like to say; God loves us even when we do things that He doesn’t like at all. Either way, one fact will never change; when we admit our faults to this great God, He is faithful and unbiased in forgiving our shortcomings and failures.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Martin Luther King Jr
But do keep this in mind, the perfect love and flawless justice of the Almighty One will one day compel Him to keep his word and banish the impenitent portion of mankind into perdition – not because of what you have done (sin), but because you would not accept what He has done through this man called Jesus. “Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts…”
Wherever you are on this crazy rock floating in the infinity of space, He’s there with you right now to throw you a rescue line. Don’t ask me to explain how or why. Who cares! He is with you now. All you have to do is trust Him. Go ahead, speak to Him. He can take it from here. He doesn’t need my help to open your heart and change your life for the better. He never did. I’m simply one of His diplomats.
Oh, one more thing, Longfellow closed his 1863 poem “Christmas Bells” with these words:
“Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; the wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good-will to men.”
Hatred is evil and like all wickedness, it will eventually fail. Love will triumph over hate. Did you hear me? LOVE RULES! Listen to this:
16b-18 “God is love, and the man whose life is lived in love does, in fact, live in God, and God does, in fact, live in him. So our love for him grows more and more, filling us with complete confidence for the day when he shall judge all men—for we realize that our life in this world is actually his life lived in us. Love contains no fear—indeed fully-developed love expels every particle of fear, for fear always contains some of the torture of feeling guilty. This means that the man who lives in fear has not yet had his love perfected.” (1 John 4:16-18 – Phillips)
Almighty Creator, I ask that you would help those who have read my words to reach out to you. May their eyes be opened so they too can see Jesus who came to our earth, taking human form to show us the way home again. Forgive them as they acknowledge they are no more than an outlaw who desperately needs your favor and forgiveness. As they open their heart to you, let them find the peace and joy that comes to those who are born again in spirit and set free from all hate by the truth. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
