Claiming people "hate" someone is a tactic that is used by people to shut down opposition to a view differing to the person attacking with this tactic.
It belies low self esteem about the position the attacker is trying to defend. Similar to calling someone a racist for saying ANYTHING negative about Islam.
I realize that there are some who have yet to fully embrace the one true Gospel unto Salvation. That God wrapped Himself in human flesh, in the form of Jesus Christ. He was born of a virgin woman, conceived by the Holy Spirit, suffered, was crucified, died, and God raised Him from the grave on the 3rd day, according to the Scriptures.
Confess Jesus as Lord, believe He rose from the dead and you WILL be saved. We CANNOT ADD ANYTHING to that Gospel for our Salvation. To do so is an insult to god.
Now there is PLENTY we should do after we are saved and filled by the Holy Spirit, but none of that has anything to do with our Salvation.
So some who have yet to have the Holy Spirit reveal the beauty and simplicity of this Gospel need for us to have patience and love even when they use tactics such as saying disagreement equates to hatred.
