Your theology contradicts everything God said. God said He hates certain people, while He loves others, why do you reject what God said?, is it because you hate the truth?.
Why do you reject the fact that God hates some people before they are born, even though God plainly said it.
When you said God hates some before they are born. Are you referencing ‘As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.’
in taking a closer look at Romans 9:22-23 ‘What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction…
to me those
vessels of destruction have been fitted
of the world to do what the vessel is fitted for…it destroys. It back-bites, slanders, lies, cheats,
hates its brother. Gossips, tears down and robs the words of God stealing the word sown in the hearts, it plants tares, it withers, it is blind and without power. I’m not disputing that vessel God hates. Yet all have been that vessel, first. For that which is first is flesh.
—-that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
….
I’m not saying God does not hate the vessels fitted unto destruction(those vessels meant to be taken and destroyed). But I see that differently than maybe how you may translate it. I hear “go and destroy no more.” I see that a vessel built for destruction does what it says the vessel is “fitted” by the world to do,
having received not the Spirit that comes from God but “fitted” of and by the world, by the spirit
the world gives unto you. But in all of the above …God desires the getting rid of that vessel of destruction…enduring it only for a season willing to make His wrath known against those vessels fitted for destruction.
For the Greater than “destruction unto death” that He might make manifest(known) the vessels of Mercy in “obedience unto Christ.”
I’ve been both. No doubt in my mind that I have been a vessel fitted for destruction. That which was first. To me it is only by and through the Spirit given of God: the Spirit of power, of love, and a sound mind….that to me helps with “it’s for His Mercy we are not consumed”.
I get how God hated and was an enemy to me when I sowed a harvest of destruction in bringing forth sin unto death. I am not saying God does not hate that…for it produces evil…im not disputing that God hated it because He is good and wanted better things pertaining to Mercy and Grace and “a better outcome” He desires for you, long-suffering God is in enduring my Hard heart, enduring my evil ways that He might make known His Glory in Mercy Grace and forgiveness of wanting to give good lasting things and not empty vain things to me. That is just how I feel about it.
Concerning hating mother father brother sister and even your own life. This I will still consider but in application of Life. As you said you must do as he said in reference to hating those things. I also have to do in my life the best I know to do by what I hear God say. My mom is 93. I’ve been caring for her deteriorating state for at least ten years. It’s felt like a heavy strain. My mom believes you die and go in the grave and that is it. Lights out for good. There is nothing after. She sees her life…I know this by her words even in her mental decline …that a thief come upon her and all her life has been wasted. People will disagree but this is the only reason I think I’m to remain sober, to watch and be awake in preparing against the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. If chosen to be awake and to watch and prepared against that day having put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in that day. I do think I know why some are chosen to wake up beforehand, while it is still yet night they wake up early. She doesn’t say this. I see the thief has come upon mom to steal, kill, and destroy. She wails in her loss of memories except for the vital parts…that she never had a stable home, no father whom loved her but one who told her she is nothing but trouble and he wished she was not there, she was physically and mentally abused by three husbands and I hear her wailing …not exactly in these words—but close to a trumpet— “woe a thief came and stole (took)all I trusted in.” My mother still to this day has never said she is sorry about lying to me about who my father is, she still blames my older sister. Everything has always been someone else’s faught. My mom has never owned any of her mistakes. Yet, if I apply Jesus Christ’s words as you apply them …I’m free to hate her and walk away. I disagree. My showing I love God more than I love father, mother, brother, sister, and even my own life IS by loving my mother as God showed me that He loves me out of all my mistakes and things I did against God. Not for one minute do I think I have the pass to walk. I’m conflicted because yes I often want to being weary and desiring to exit. But it’s His discipleship that helps on those days I want to give up. The most tender times with mom is when she is broken and childlike and God calms my “I’m not getting to do the things I want to do today” and He redirects my eyes towards my mom and He changes the perspective to “for His Love” is greater than hatred. I don’t and can’t help mom because she deserves it, I help her because God also helps those who don’t deserve it. Me being one of them.
Undeniable my mother has taught me a lot. She has taught me forgiveness, long-suffering, mercy, grace, and truth. If I’ve awakened early in the night, being given the riches and wealth being of the Day, being no more of death having passed from death unto Life. To me it’s to prepare against the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy. Even while it’s yet still dark.
