Nothing to Warrant the Hate

-

   


  There are things in this world that attract such a hate, such a fear, that is so irrational it borders on insanity. There are things that I never understood how they could warrant such hatred. Even the sins, weaknesses and shortcomings that are wrong shouldn't be seen as inherent, condemnable, or irredeemable.


  The whole message of the cross is redemption, mercy, and grace yet so many people, both christians and non-christians alike, harbor so much hatred towards people for traits they can't control or sins that are forgiven so easily its like washing mud from a hand


  Hate itself is a darkness. A poison that turns otherwise sensible people into monsters. Hate  from my perspective, is more condemnable than weakness or mistakes. If you harbor hatred against the innocent, the sick, the sinner, or the weak, I feel you will find yourself more quickly judged or possibly condemned by God far more then the target of your hate. Even so, God's mercy and grace extends infinitely past my understanding. 


He can have mercy on whoever he pleases


I've got some traits about me that are condemnable in the eyes of many believers. I have traits that would have gotten me killed in places in this country even up to the last 30 years. I've had hate thrown at me. I've had judgement passed on me. I've had people condemn me for what they saw as my sins and shortcomings. To hell with those people, pun intended.


 I know where I stand with Jesus.  


Condemnation, when it comes from people who sin just as much as you and have made just as many mistakes as you is laughable at best and brazenly hypocritical at worst. Sinners who condemn and judge cannot understand mercy, or grace. There is no mercy or grace in condemnation that comes from a sinner. A flawed person cannot judge flawlessly. Only God can judge on that level.


As for me and my sins? They are paid for. I'll always struggle with a lot of them, but God's mercy is new every morning.


I must confess and make this statement there are some sins, some traits, and some shortcomings that absolutely do not warrant the hate that follows them. Absolutely not. Hate never heals the sick, strengthens the weak, or forgives the sinner. It kills them. Only love does those things.


It's amazing how so many people miss just some of the basic lessons of God. Even those who claim to believe in Him.


Hate is a darkness, and darkness knows neither mercy nor truth.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
