Originally posted by Dan St John What a self-righteous DB you are. Did it ever occur to you that not everyone here HAS a Bible? Hmmmm? Or... perhaps, we might have bibles NOT written by delusional heretics that wanted to form their own religion with themselves at the forefront...
If you actually give a real rats @** about having an open, congenial and thoughtful dialogue (and not ...[text shortened]... ck and freak's own "desired" interpretations) my bible may not say the same things as yours.

Hatred is "fear" manifested
F. E. A. R. ~ false evidence appearing real
The reason I am claiming these people that shall do these awful things to believers are fearful of them stems from the statement "the flesh warreth the spirit", and is why many hated Christ.
Wherever Jesus was, and near sinners, they felt enormous confounded fear towards him, as he was the exact image and likeness of SPIRIT.
He had clarified to they that he healed "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect", or "Go and sin no more"..
