"He has a lot of hate for people who think differently from him."

So do a lot of the people around here, many of whom would seem to argue that only a vote for (plug in the name of candidate) can prove that you are a real Christian.

I don't think Miller hates those who are different. He simply does not understand why we elevate so many things above the Grace of God. We are called to love our enemies. That is unless they are Democrats, Clintons, liberals, or don't believe that all Hispanics should be instantly deported.

"We are called to love our enemies. That is unless they are Democrats, Clintons, liberals, or don't believe that all Hispanics should be instantly deported."

No doubt many or even most conservative Christians fall short on the "love thy enemies" test. But so do most liberal Christians, who might even be worse.

why on earth did you set up this strawman? Self-sabotage of your viewpoint? Self -loathing?

Can you direct me to thread where that has literally happened? I have not seen that.

We are called to love our enemies.

I think there is an very important distinction between loving our enemies and denying that we have any.

Matthew 10
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
