You Can't Love Scripture Yet Hate The Jews

Christians and Muslims are intimately interconnected with the Jews because The Bible and The Quran are strongly linked to the Jewish people.

Many of the stories and events in The Bible and The Quran are about Jews, so when Christians and Muslims read Scripture, they often read about the Jews.

You can't respect Moses (Musa), yet hate his people, the Jews. You can't love Jesus (Isa), yet hate his people, the Jews. Jesus himself was a Jew.

You can't love Scripture, yet hate the Jewish people. You're hating the very people that you're reading about.

When you read The Bible and The Quran, you have to acknowledge the contribution of the Jewish people. They are the very people that many of the stories and events are about.

God specifically chose the Jewish people for a reason and their role is evident in Scripture. To hate the Jews is to hate the very people that are written about in Scripture.

If you hate the Jews, you hate Scripture (because Scripture talks about the Jews) and you hate God Himself (because God chose the Jewish people for His purposes).

The Jews had a role to play in the past and they will have a role to play today. The Jewish people need to return to God and seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

What will you do when the 12 tribes or Israel wake up and reunite? These events are about to take place and there's no room for hatred here.

Anti-semitism and hatred for the Jews has to end. Respect God, respect Scripture and respect the Jewish people - they are God's chosen people and they will serve His purposes.

May The God of Israel, The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may He show us the way.

God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

Love Of Others

The love of others yields love of The Creator. The hatred of others yields hatred of The Creator. You cannot hate others and love The Creator at the same time. 

Also, if you hate others you hate yourself because they're a mirror reflection of you. What you see on the outside is a reflection of who you are on in the inside. You're connected to other people because they mirror who you are.

Hatred Comes From Wanting To Be Right

Hatred comes from wanting to convince yourself that you're right. This comes from the quality of selfishness because the quality of selfishness always wants to be right.

The only thing we should despise is our own personal selfishness. Even then, we should ask ourselves, if There is None Else Besides Him, then everything comes from The Creator. And if everything comes from The Creator, what's left for us to hate?

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Getting To God

You can't get to God with hatred, only with love.

You're Looking At A Mirror

The world you see, is a mirror of your internal qualities. What you see is actually a reflection of yourself. This is known as The Mirror Effect.

When you seek to benefit others, you're actually seeking to benefiting yourself. When you hate/harm others, you're actually hating/harming yourself.

From Hatred To Love

Hatred is used to show you who you are. When you hate other people, it's not a reflection of them, it's a reflection of you. You're someone who hates.

Now that you know who you are, you have the potential to become someone who loves. You first need to know hatred in order to know love. One against it's opposite.

Love Covers All Wrongs

Love and hatred go hand in hand. You need one and it's opposite. First you need the hatred so you can come to know love. Without hatred, you can't know love.

Therefore, love is built on hatred. The greater the hatred, the greater the potential for love. With this understanding, you come to see that the bad is also good, meaning that hatred is a necessary part of getting to love.

As it is written, "Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers all wrongs." (Proverbs 10:12, NIV)

Hatred And Love

Can we switch from love to hatred, then from hatred to love? Very easily, here's how:

Bev and Doug were a happy couple and they had been together for a long time.

One day, Stan told Bev that Doug didn't love her and he proved it. Bev was crushed and her love for Doug grew to hatred. Eventually they split up.

Stan then declared his love for Bev and they got together.

After a long while, Bev found out that the evidence Stan had used against Doug was all a lie. Bev was crushed and her love for Stan grew to hatred. Eventually they split up.

Doug had never stopped loving Bev. Bev then declared her love for Doug and they got back together again.

Kind of like one of those TV shows right? Or is there a little bit more to this story?

Love Keeps No Record Of Wrongs

Today, many of us are affected by bad things that have happened to us. We become bitter, we harbour resentment, we seek revenge, we want bad things to happen to the people who've hurt us, we want them to get their due (what's coming to them), we want to even the score, we sue them and take them to court etc.

We become trapped in the pain and hurt of our experiences and one of the things that makes us feel better is if pain and hurt is caused to the people who've caused us pain and hurt.

All of this comes from the quality of selfishness because we're only thinking about ourselves. We want to alleviate our own pain at the expense of others.

Love has different rules.

In love, the quality of bestowal, all you care about is seeking to benefit others, regardless of what they do to you or how they treat you. You rise above your ego, you let go of your hurt and pain, you transcend all the hate within you, and you seek to benefit others.

It no longer becomes about you, it becomes about others. You have to completely let go of yourself. You no longer care about your own personal state because all you care about is seeking to benefit others. And if others reciprocate and seek to benefit you, you become connected with each other in mutual concern and responsibility. You take care of each other with love.

As it is written, "Love ... keeps no record of wrongs ..." (1 Corinthians 13:4-5, NIV)
