Hate - by Robert
H.Moorman, Arizona Death Row
We see hate every day and night
and we read about it in our newspapers,on TV and radio.We
even speak it to ourselves."I hate that person." "I hate my
wife,or children or neighbour" or "I hate that criminal,that child_______,that
rapist,that _______murderer."
Why do we hate?Cain brought
hate and murder into the world! Hate=murder. I John 3:15
says:Whosoever hateth his brother(all people are our brothers)is
a murderer and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding
in him (King James version).The Good News Catholic Bible says :Those
that hate others are murderers,and you know that murderers do
not have eternal life in them.Cain hated his brother Abel;that hate
grew into murder.So hate is a form of murder.
When you let hate get into
your heart and soul,you are turning to Satan's side and letting
him control your life.He wants you to hate.So your heart turns
against all those things that God (Jesus )has been teaching us
through his word.
Hate is easy to do.It does
not need to be an action of murder that turns you into a
murderer.It is the feeling of hate,speaking hate,writing of
hate.This turns you into a murderer.Yes,people who do wrong do
need to be punished,but your hate turns you into a criminal in
the sight of God.
We need to stop hate in all
forms,to open our hearts to caring,forgiving,loving each
other.Yes,that means even to care,love and forgive all prisoners
even if you were a victim.Care,forgive,but do not hate! Hate
turns your heart from God and turns you into a murderer in the
sight of God.Let's love one another as God loves us.Forgive others
as He has forgiven you.
Love=God
Hate= Satan
LOVE
ONE ANOTHER
