I reciently saw some scripture on how if we want to come to the Lord we must hate the world. ( for those whom are well verced please quote for me.) I pondered this as I have always loved and admired all of our Lord God's creation. I wondered if it was meant to say that we must reject and hate all that tries to separate us from him and all that is evil. Whats your take on this? God bless, pickles
hate?

hi pickles
Peace be to you
I find somepeople take this alittle out of context .
proverbs;These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
rev;
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
That what the scripture means to hate!
Love God with all your heart mind and soul.Love your neighber like you love yourself.Keep away from idols.Honor your mother and father.
Love a friend in God

I too think you have confused some texts...I think the erse you are thinking of says the world will hat you not that you must hate the world---much different...In one Jesus it telling his disciples that the world turns against those who follow him, and in the other case telling you to come out of the world, but never to hate this world...other than that verse about hating mother, father, wife, and own life as well...which is saying something deep spiritually as well.
God bless

This does not mean to hate anyone, it means to hate the world system. To hate sin, to hate what others would see as normal. Satan rules this world and we are to hate the rules satan has set up for the world to live by.
1st John 2
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

I think this is the verse in reference
1jo 2:15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.1jo 2:16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
