That's interesting...Jehovah's Witnesses say everyone who disagrees with
them hates them...Mormons say the same thing. My point? Just because one may
disagree with another on theology does not mean they hate you. They may
disagree with you doctrinally, but that's no reason to accuse them of
hating. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Do you hate
trinitarians? If you answer "yes", then you need to repent. Do you disagree
wtih them? If you answer "yes" you have the right to do so and yet not hate
them. Please don't accuse them as such. I've heard some hateful things said
about trinitarians from Oneness preachers through the years growing up...and
I recognized it as being a direct attack on them rather than dealing with
doctrine. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's time to grow up and quit
fighting with others who love the Lord.>>>
Brother, I don't quite agree with you. Maybe hate is too strong of a word
for the way the feel about us (contempt, might be beter)...although...I been
called a heretic, that I would go to hell and and and... On the other hand,
Jesus said "you'll be hated by all men for my name's sake" and I have found
this quote to be true a lot of times. :) We are the people of the name and
the devil doesn't like it...he would like to intimidate us, would like to
discourage us and what better way to do that than to tell us...."awww hey,
they don't really hate you ... now don't you feel bad for this non-Christian
attitude...how could you ever think they hated you". No, brother, they don't
hate us...but they strongly dislike what we stand for, the name that we bear
and our revelation of truth. Why? I don't know...maybe the devil does it or
maybe it is plain spiritual jealousy, cause their soul is caught in a trap
and it doesn't know how to get out of.
Let's face it brother, we are hated by all men for his name's sake :)
God bless
Sis. Doris
