We can’t come to Jesus perfect; we come as weak beggars. You are not a lesser Christian because you aren’t perfect - you’re an honest Christian trying to actually live your faith. Amen.
I don’t think anyone can tell you how you can love someone who’s killed 40,000 people. But there is a God who experienced a death that was equally unjust and can reveal to you the mystery of mercy, love, faith…
Remember that Jesus experienced anger to the point that He lashed out. Anger isn’t in and of itself sinful. Hurt isn’t sinful. You can have negative feelings towards such a painful situation and you can ask God to replace any hate that you do have.

Do you really 'hate' them or do you have a huge dislike, are upset, are untrusting of them, are confused that politicians could have done such things, etc? I remember when I was younger, about 10 or 11, I came home from school and told my dad that I hated a boy at school because of what he said to me & how that made me feel. He was a bully. My dad said that the word 'hate' was a very strong word and I should not use it every time I got angry. That 'hate' can turn to revenge, avenge, and lead me into sin.
W.W.J.D.? - What Would Jesus Do? - You say that you hate the Bush family but it bothers you due to your faith in Christ. That's good. You probably don't actually 'hate' them. You should do what my dad made me do back then, look up 10 other words to replace the word 'hate' but that still explains how you feel.

you have a sad sad life ahead of you,
#1 your not a christian, you just think so.
#2 the bush's never killed anyone, I fought under bush sr and would do so again.
#3 freedom isn't free and the fact that you do not support your country is not only unpatriotic but a slap in the face to all the soldiers who laid down their lives so that YOU could have the freedom to speak your mind.
#4 don't try to quote the bible, it makes you look stupid since you don't know what you are talking about.
#5 the terrorists killed americans and they will continue to do so because of liberal minded people like you that hold us back from killing all of them. with every anti american statement you make, you hold the US forces back from doing and finishing the job thus killing more americans, YOU are killing our troops by believing the terrorists have rights. You need to either shut up or educate yourself and then be a man, an american man.

The Bush family is not the problem. The gullibility of the American public is. They listen to the Republican party line which is geared to rile them up over things that are not that important or urgent so that they will vote for the Republicans who will send their young people to die in a war we have no reason to be in, raise your taxes, and give an illegal alien your job. It is OK to hate, a feeling is just a feeling. It is what you do with that feeling that makes you a follower of Christ or a sinner in need of help. Get involved in the Democratic party to help Democrats get elected next time. Learn about the political system and the games they play so you can explain it to others so they will not play into the Republicans hands. Use the anger and rage that you have and redirect it in a positive way to make a difference in the political world. And do it nonviolently. Then they will know that you are a true Christian.

As a true Christian, we get that name from our Lord Jesus Christ at the time we received Him as our Lord & savior, that's the beginning that we are called Christian. If you are a true Christian you should not hate anybody else, because the Bible says in the Book of Ist John Chapter 3, If you hate your brother you are a murderer & no murderer can enter the kingdom of God, besides when Jesus was crucified, He said to His predators, Father forgive them because they don't know what they are doing. A true Christian is a true follower, therefore you should follow what Jesus is doing.

nonetheless engaged on the weblog. had some problems with the server. verify returned in many cases. this fr Tuck is a actual artwork of paintings. in no way takes a Christian stand on any subject. continuously takes a Republican stand. this could ok be Rush Limpwade in cover. BTW, there are a million.8 billion who stick to Islam. Many are interior united states of america of america. might a Christian nuke all of them and kill all of them? i does no longer, which would be a act of hate. basically approximately 15 % are seen by utilizing experts to be "radical" muslims. The innovations washing starts with first graders, in Saudi Arabian colleges. 15 of the nineteen hi jackers have been Saudis. The Saudis coach first graders that "each faith different than Islam is fake". by utilizing fourth grade it progresses to "actual theory ability.. which you hate the polytheists and infidels yet do no longer take care of them un justly". In Isalm killing them could be in basic terms scientific care. by utilizing 8th grade they study of the numerous "condemable characteristics of jews" In 9th grade they turn to conflicts "it extremely is a factor of God's understanding that the conflict between the Muslims and the Jews could proceed till the hour of judgement". The Saudi text cloth describes the Crusades because of fact the "commencing place of the conflict between the muslims and the Christians". Bush calls Saudi Arabia "an important best buddy and a companion in the conflict on terrorsism".

Let's start with your first line with the statement "I am a Christian" Given the rest of what you say I've got to ask on what basis do you make this statement?
If you died tonight and you stood before God and He asked you "why should I let you into my Kingdom" what would your answer be?

I am not Christian and I am far from a Bush supporter but hate is such a waste of energy.
Use your feelings of hatred to help insure that this world is a better place, help keep his kind from having control of our government.

I think for your own sake, you must learn to distinguish between hatred and anger. I also feel anger toward Bush and his family for some of the things they have perpetrated on the U.S. It is normal and natural to feel anger, and I don't think it's healthy to deny what you feel. In my opinion, it becomes "hatred" when it starts to consume you, and keep you from positive action, or (worse still), leads you to negative actions.
I'm not a Christian, so I don't believe in being able to control your feelings; I'm Jewish, so I DO believe in being responsible for controlling your actions.

Don't hate them, that only hurts you. Hate does nothing to or for them.
Instead, understand the thinking that allows them to believe what they do and justify their actions. In my opinion it is pride........they believe they know what is best for everyone (the will of god) and will not listen to opposing views. Once you understand their thinking, try and prevent others from following in their footsteps.
