I read the following article and was
moved to speak on hatred: What JESUS said on hatred!
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You
shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I
say to you that whoever who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be
in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in
danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell
fire.”…”You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate
your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those you curse you, do
good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and
persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His
sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the
unjust.” Matthew 5:21-22, 43-45 NKJV
John, JESUS’ disciple and servant who
suffered many sorrows and tortures in his service to GOD through JESUS said in his
epistle to the Church; “”If someone says, ‘I love GOD,’ and hates his brother,
he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he
love GOD whom he has not seen?’ And this commandment we have from Him: that he
who loves GOD must love his brother also.” 1 John 4:20-21 NKJV
John understood JESUS’ teaching on love
and that those who have hatred do not have love and that those that do not have
love do not serve GOD and will not enter into His Eternal Kingdom.
Those who hate today, no matter what
they think, they do not have any part in GOD and are not part of His Eternal
Kingdom! All religions have used their god to oppress, enslave and kill others
for their own end. In every conflict throughout history each side believed that
GOD was on their side, that their cause was just. But, even for those whose
cause was just and GOD supported them against their enemies there were those in
their ranks that practiced hate and evil.
While GOD supports those who are doing
the work of His Kingdom in the earth He rejects those who hate and do the works
of evil, which are the works of the devil; hatred, violence, robbery and
murder.
So how could a person who sponsors a
policy against all forms of hate be a victim of hate? Because haters believe
they have the right to hate especially in the name of their god and religion!
Only Christianity has a tenet of love for everyone! If a person who claims to
be a Christian but has hate for any one for any reason: JESUS said that they
have no part in GOD and His Eternal Kingdom!
Holocaust survivor
under guard amid death threats

An 89-year-old
Holocaust survivor in Italy has been assigned police guards for protection
after receiving hundreds of threats on social media. Liliana Segre, who was
sent to the notorious Auschwitz death camp at 13, has been subjected to a
barrage of anti-Semitic messages in recent days.
It comes after Ms. Segre, an Italian life senator, called for
parliament to establish a committee to combat hate. The motion passed despite a
lack of support by Italy's right-wing parties.
Members of the nationalist League party, led by Matteo Salvini,
the centre-right Forza Italia and the far-right Brothers of Italy all abstained
from the vote in Milan last week.
The motion called for the establishment of an extraordinary
commission in Italy to combat all forms of racism, anti-Semitism, incitement to
hatred and violence on ethnic and religious grounds.
Ms. Segre said after the vote that the abstentions made her feel
"like a Martian in the Senate".
"I appealed to the conscience of
everyone and thought that a commission against hatred as a
principle would be accepted by all," she said at the time, Italy's La
Repubblica reported (in Italian).
Since then, she has reported receiving as many as 200 hate
messages a day.
Some of the threats have been so serious that the prefect of
Milan, Renato Saccone, held at a meeting on Wednesday with the committee for
security and public order, where it was agreed that Ms. Segre needed police
protection.
The measures that were approved include Ms. Segre being
accompanied in public by two paramilitary carabinieri officers.
Meanwhile, the Milan public prosecutor's office said it had
opened an investigation into the hate messages targeting the senator and had
requested the assistance of Italy's anti-terror police.
Ms. Segre was born in Milan in 1930. She fled Nazi persecution
in Italy with her father in December 1943.
After failing to secure refuge in Switzerland, the pair were
sent by train to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland the following month, where
her father and grandparents were killed.
Along with other Jewish prisoners evacuated from Auschwitz in
January 1945, Ms. Segre was taken to the Ravensbrück concentration camp in
Germany.
Weeks later she was transferred to another camp operated by the
Nazis’ which was eventually liberated by the Soviet Red Army.
Ms. Segre was made an Italian senator for life by President
Sergio Mattarella in January 2018.
Italy has a population of about 30,000 Jews. More than 7,500
Italian Jews died during the Holocaust.
