IDK if I should say anything on this thread, oldie, much banning, but here goes anyways. It's true Christ did say that, and not that anything is wronge with Jesus The Son of God. Since we are followers of him, of a spiritual new birth, then his HOly Spirit resides with us, and how could any thing be wrong with the Holy Spirit. I don't think that Jesus was telling us that other believers would hate believers, as we are of one body, in Jesus CHrist. Through out years, I found this. There's much ills in people's minds, and they live that way, unless they get healed. The curse has not changed from the fall since Adam and Eve.
Jesus did not come for a masquerade party on earth, but he said, " I've come to set the captive free, and heal, to bind up the broken hearted. I sure didn't come from a perfecto family, and everyone's got a story. But heres the answer. Without salvation, and the HOly Spirit, we all know the vacancies and what fills up, if not Jesus. The way truth and the light.
THe adversary the hater of the soul, and called the destroyer, who comes to rob, steal and destroy men's lives. Jesus said, "I've come to give life more abundantly." I believe he's referring to those problematic people, those who have not turned their selves over and into the arms, of Jesus, who welcomes us all, and not just a one prayer, but a commitment to a life time of Repentance, in obedience to him, spiritually born of his spirit, and growing in Truth, of him. Without him, Jesus himself said, things how the heart is, and how the carnal mind, is that doesn't seek after the Lord is. So there's an extreme that I found out personally, there's no balance, it's either extreme jealousy, hatred, menacing;, and every thing that is contrary to the Word of God. Then on the other side, there is extreme obsessiveness and all the ill things that go with that.
There's no balance. I've found very few loving friends, many on here;, and some in the churches, some a handful. The nature of man, without Christ, is to see what they can get, Jesus came to give, and love, their's the big difference, of the rebirth of the Spirit. It's an extreme on both sides. Hate, Jealousy these two things opposite of Love. "The bible talks about
Jealousy is cruel as the grave. "Corinthians 13 "LOVE IS NOT JEALOUS.' noT HUMAN FOLIO LOVE, BUT Being surrounded by and in God's love, REal love, God's way;, God's agape love, is not Never jealous. John 3:16, God so loved the WORLD, people are in need of Jesus. Much is said about people's conduct concerning their attitudes and demeanor, and dispositions, about life. " It says, they hate the light, and men love the darkness more than the light, for they don't want their deeds to be known. :Much is said about it.
