I just want to point out the possibly gigantic implications, of hate being the appropriate moral response to what is hateful, being true.
Jesus said "love your enemies and pray for those who hurt you".
Let's assume he was issuing a moral injunction, and not merely issuing pragmatic advice.
Let's further assume he meant this statement to apply univ Hence, millions of people are, and have been, laboring under a delusion.

Do you know what the srciptures say about hate? We are to hate sin. This is the beginning of wisdom. So when one sins, you have two options. You have the example of destroying the sinner, as we see in OT stonings, you we have the option of showing mercy on the sinner as the focus shifts toward destroying the sin in peoples lives, as we see in the example of Christ showing mercy to the woman caught in adultery.
As for those who refuse to turn from their sins, I suppose that is why we have prisons and the death penalty.
