We absolutely have to destroy the hate that remaisn in our heart as individuals to be Christians...
It is even the case that hating the devil is a tricky thing and advised agaisnt doing actively, since it is not even hate that easily can be a source of growth.
Perhaps the optimistic way to view this, though, is that if we harbor a sort of hate for someone, this can actually be turned on its head by realizing that by us despising some aspect of them, we have a different hope for them. We can realize that there is a circumstance in which we do actually love them.

@divegeester saidIf so, this is the wrong forum for it. But I think it would fall flat in GF/Jokes.
It’s a humorous OP, surely?
@divegeester saidI'm not so sure. I have the impression KellyJay has a bit of 'Alex Jones and/or QAnon fanboy' about him, outlookwise, even if he doesn't listen to Jones specifically.

Infowars/Jones, of late, has been riffing on how the "communist" Biden/"the global elites" have "already begun" the extrrmination of American patriots [20 million dead already, apparently, but it's being covered up by the "mainstream media"]. I listen to his broadcasts sometimes.
@kellyjay saidI am genuinely puzzled, what sort of gas chambers you have in mind. Are you referring to the gas chambers used by, for example, the state of California to execute criminals? Or are you referring to the gas chambers used by the Nazis to exterminate Jews, homosexuals, and political opponents of the fascist system?
I wonder how much time before gas chambers start hiring due to the hate mongering.

@moonbus saidYou don't see hate rising across the board, this wasn't a statement about these forums?
