This article is spot on. We have forgotten how to hate. It is now politically incorrect to hate our enemies.
We aren’t allowed a sense of outrage, either. Witness the reluctance of MSM to publish pictures of people jumping from the Trade Towers. Outrage might sustain the will to win a war on terror. Can’t have that.
Calling the VTech killer shooter goes hand in hand with calling the massacre itself a tragedy.
Hate and anger have their uses and only a society in its death throes finds them intolerable.
No, that’s not the way it is at all.
So you want us to hate our enemies? Nothing new. We all want to hate our enemies. That’s the natural order of things. However, I have it on good authority that this ain’t supposed to be the case...
43”You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
(Matthew 5:43-48 NIV)
So don’t tell me I have to hate my enemies.
It is Biblically incorrect to hate our enemies."But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you". Matt:5:44. This doesn't mean we can't hate the acts of our enemies. BIG difference.
