Then Jesus said unto him, Put up again thy sword into
his place: for all they that take sword shall perish
with the sword.
---Matthew 26:52
Christians are called, commanded, to love
not to hate---not even to hate evil;
for only our Sovereign God and His Christ
have the right to root up the tares from the wheat;
the wheat has neither claim nor right to do this.
Even righteous hatred doubles back
upon the self-righteous hater;
beating its retreat, it mounts an attack
on the hater's soul---usually sooner than later.
