He who loves his brother abides in the light, and nothing can shake him. But he who hates his brother lives and walks in darkness and does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 Peter 2
It is impossible to be a Christian and hate someone at the same time. This quote is proof of that. Christians are a very relatable and mixed group. The label "Christian" creates a sense of belonging among believers in Jesus. It doesn't. The measure of whether you are a Christian is not knowledge of the Bible, doctrines, or membership in a denomination, but love for your neighbor.
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you; that you also love one another in this way. 35 By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."" John 13
There is a lot of venom, spiritual thuggery on the internet. In real life it is probably the same. You can be lynched for dissent. Sometimes it's enough to disagree on one issue, and suddenly you become someone's enemy. Of course, Christianity is not an ecumenism where everyone can say whatever comes to their tongue in a false sense of love. Here we use the Word. The problem lies in the culture of the dispute, and in fact first of all in what you have in your heart towards your opponent.
So Christianity, in truth, can be divided into followers of Jesus and Cainites who hold a grudge against their brother and sister in their hearts, looking for an opportunity to attack, slander, and take revenge.
This is murder. Any emotionally negative, hate-filled attitude toward a person is murder:
" Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer,
and you know that no murderer carries eternal life within him."
In the apocalypse there are letters to seven churches. Each of them is different. Unfortunately, but hypocritical people belong to 7 churches at the same time. They have no clear lineage. An example of this is this blog. I have readers who hate me, slander me, but visit DAILY. They will not stay in their OWN church of thought, but strenuously want to change the profile of that church. A true gentleman if he is sure of his ideas walks away in peace.
Some Christians wait for a brother or sister to stumble. Is this an imitation of Jesus? Jesus did not even condemn Judas. He offered him bread one last time knowing full well that Judas would betray him.
How much hatred, bitterness is in the heart of Christians. They think they are believers and they are not wrong at all, they believe but in the devil, for he is the accuser of our brothers.
If you feel that you have bitterness or grudge against someone, pray to remove it, because on 100% you will not enter the kingdom of heaven as it is now. Hatred blinds you.
But he who hates his brother lives and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes
Hatred is present in churches as well as in our families. Christians have bitterness toward their father, mother, former partner(s), employer, etc.
A prescription for haters, or for people full of grief:
Beware lest anyone deprive himself of the grace of God, lest some bitter root that grows upward cause confusion and thereby defile others,
Hebrews 12:1
Paul clearly warns about the loss of grace caused by the bitter root, which is what I wrote about above.
Hate is the sister of murder.

I pray for those who hold grudges against others not wanting to know them anymore. And I am referring primarily to Christians walking in the Lord.
Exactly, one more thing. I know of one church, a church where there are about 100 people. I found out that there are various sympathies and family groups within these sympathies, and this means that we don't have to have close relationships with everyone. These groups do not keep in touch with other members of the church. Just like in nature. Generally a dog and a cat are not friends, but there are exceptions. This is how it is among people. It is one thing to be nice, but it is another to maintain close relationships. We have to keep in mind, while respecting other people's feelings, that this person does not want our closeness.
I agree, but that's not what I meant, I wrote about those who harbor grudges. There are relationships that are completely neutral, based on mutual goodwill, when one is already in a larger group and here there is no need to be friends with each other in any way, but there are also cases where one person holds a grudge against another and does not want to straighten it out, and yet the Scriptures tell us a lot about this, to always be reconciled - that is, to make it clear that we no longer have a grudge, nothing more is needed.
it's God's 🙂 🙂
Yes!!! 🙂 🙂
And what about the feeling of contempt for the superiority of the "upper economic classes of society" (who are well-paid and often dilettantes) (who are well paid and often dilettantes) to the so-called "plebs, bums, robolistans". (who do something concrete)? What does this fall under?
Jesus would have a ton of reasons to be angry with us.
How many times have we let Him down?
He could say "no, you won't be any good, I have better friends".
And yet He continues to reach out to us, regardless of our stumbles.
That is why He said "...that you love one another as I have loved you; that you also love one another in this way." (J 13:34)
I like this quote 🙂 It fits this discussion 🙂
I don't know if we would be less malcontent if we were Protestant. Certainly we would be far richer in spiritual as well as material goods.
The marker of prestige in Poland is not various achievements in any field of life (more or less popular) but owning material things such as a fancy car, i.e. a junk car mainly from Germany. It proves the terrible poverty... spiritual-mind-mental which makes us pariahs of Europe.
Exactly, I agree, and by the way your writings and summaries are great.
With God
Thank you very much 🙂 .
People need to vent their accumulated frustration and aggression by being a warm-hearted, wise, trustworthy and tough-minded moral person.
Thank you in Jesus' name for your consideration. This is an interesting one. I remember you writing that a Christian who is nonstop looking for "hooks" on brothers and sisters in the faith manifests an attribute of Satan-accusation. Not only on the internet, but in real life I have encountered such Christians who I am afraid to speak to at all because they seem to be just lurking to point out your error.
It is true that it is impossible to be a follower of Jesus and hate a brother or sister. I am so thankful to the Lord that He took away all resentment from me. And even now if someone offends me, thanks to the Lord Jesus it goes away so quickly 🙂 .
I am honestly very afraid to harbor any resentment or bad feelings towards someone. Because I fear God and I know that hatred is like murder. These are very powerful words from the Lord Jesus.
Poland is a country of poor work (physically and spiritually exhausting) and, what is worse, poorly paid. People who have "made it" in this country are often various types of wealthy people (unfortunately most of them) taking advantage of the harm of a simple worker, i.e. they will do anything not to pay more to their employees, but for ridiculous luxuries (not contributing anything to the development of the company) they have...
