Haters

     Those who pull the word "hater" out of the bucket of epithets first seem to have the upper hand. Of course, hatred has degrees from apathy to detestation. Oddly enough, caring nothing either way is mild hatred. Detestation is best explained by a child as "hating their guts" which immature pubescents express often. The spiritual explanation for hatred is lacking love. The ultimate love is desiring that in the end that "none should perish" (John 3:16). Since hatred is the lack of love, then the ultimate hatred is that all should perish. The Devil desires that! Someplace in between is that some should perish. Damning hatred is even that any should perish.
     Thus, hatred is highly correlated to wanting anyone to perish. Perish means to die! When John wrote of God's grace, the intent was that God wants everyone to live forever! Ultimate hatred, then, is that someone desires that another die forever. Murder, therefore, is hatred. God sees it that way as well:
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 
     Hatred is serious business. The penalty for hatred, as is murder, is dying oneself. Ironically, haters have murder in their hearts, and as such kill themselves forever! While trying to kill others, inevitably, without forgiveness, they kill themselves; and not just from this life but for eternity.
     Looking at the metrics for hatred, mankind all have a problem with hatred! That's why loving others is a corollary to loving God (Mat 22:36-40). Loving others is how people demonstrate to God that they love Him. Not loving others - hatred - reveals to God that you don't love Him.
     Can one murder without hatred? Nada. Emotion drives one to murder, as does convenience. The latter does not seem like hatred. Jews were killed because they were inconvenient to the Third Reich. Is that a type of hatred? Some killed Jews because they were different. Is that hatred? Others killed Jews because they perceived that Jews killed God. Is that hatred? The answer is "yes" to all those questions. The giving and taking of life belongs to God and God only!
     What about killing for justice to be served. God ordained mankind to have civility and punishment is necessary. Murdering is punishable by death (Exod 21:24), but not for hatred. Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Psalm 94:1). Disciple must never be taken personally.
Rom 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
     Is calling someone who differs "hater" being kind? No, it is demonstrating hatred by slinging that epithet. The most extreme haters call others "hater" the most. This seems to be born out in almost all protests we see today. Of course, protests have a façade of righteous indignation but that is just what it is!  Usually hatred is demonstrated by exaggeration, false accusations, and deception. The truth is generally that differences exist because of opinions.
     What sets one group apart from what is right is the degree of respect for life. What things made Nazism so disgusting? Hatred and murder? Being different was the metric for those. Differences are not only racial but anything the Devil can use to divide. If differences don't exist to exploit, haters create them. As an example. when the president pointed out that oftentimes immigrants are bad dudes who do awful things, Trump surely intended to point out a major problem with America's immigration policy. What he said was true but seemed to be unsympathetic. Perhaps it was! However, even though it did not display empathy, it is largely true as anyone can discover from the newspapers. There is a major crime, drug, and assault problem with those immigrating specifically from the south which our nation does not see from Canadian immigrants.
     Because of the difference in skin hue, Trump was accused of racism. Unfortunately, dark races commit crimes and to deal with that is not hatred. It's not their skin tone which makes them criminals but the environment from which they come. Mexicans should have little respect for their own law, so why would they respect ours? They come from a corrupt country run by thugs - the Mexican mob.  Liberals created a divisive atmosphere, not because they love Latinos, but because they have disgust for America. Thus, the hatred for Trump is not because he is a hater but because progressives hate the laws of the United States. Why so? Because their view of fairness does not correspond with the U.S. Constitution. They are very vocal about hatred for individual rights coming from the Bill of Rights. Although they proclaim freedom of speech, if speech differs from theirs, they despise it. Since the Second Amendment enforces free speech, they despise the Second Amendment!
     Progressives don't really hate Trump; they hate America and it's Constitution. Innately, socialism is seditious and un-American. They want another government which differs from the one we have! Their desire is to repress the masses through regulation. Socialism does that by providing crumbs to society in payment for blind allegiance. The American Dream is not based on handouts but motivation. Progressivism is in opposition to those who are motivated. That's where they want Americans to remain. Their hatred for American institutions and patriotism is a childish maneuver to get their way, and if they cannot, to destroy the best government ever in existence!
     To determine who are really the Nazis and haters, one need only ask the question: Who is it that lacks respect for life? Who is it that has lack of respect for others? The answer for those questions is the pro-abortion party which is the one which has antipathy for justice. Lawlessness is of Satan:
Mat 23:28 ...you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
     Progressives are after their own brand of law which appears to be righteous but is lawless in that rather than what is right it is their whim. Marx wrote down their whims in the Communist Manifesto. That document divides people into about any and all factions from gender to industriousness. Progressives hate America, and those who stand up for America. When they gather together, the hatred is manifested. Who is it that is violent and hateful? Just look at the mob protests and answer the question yourself. America will not be destroyed from those of other nations but within. Why would Americans even desire to have Muslim immigration? Because it is another way to be divisive. They never let a good crisis go to waste! For whose benefit? Theirs!
