Greetings…

I have a question for the forums about the

The title of this post is a bit of a paraphrasing of the Allegorical Letters to the Chruches of Asia Minor form the Book of the Apocalypse (or Revelations, as most Enblish Speakign Bibles refer to it as)…

Thus I wish to ask , in what wasy can it be healthy to hate that which is unChristian

There is the way of monism, in that all thing are to be forcibly recognized

Monism is not a liberal ideology, contrary to what the leftwing and liberal ideologues of today beleive but rather , a totalitarian one (similar to the cult of Tash from CS Lewis) in that value jdugments are made agaisnt those, adn that they believe in killing those who do not beleive

We are NOT one with those of unbelief (and Scripture proves this)

To them their din, and to us ours, as the saying ges…
 
Translation is an art, not a science. “Hate” is a word that has been misused in various Biblical translations.

For instance, Romans chapter 9 where St Paul quotes Malachi “Jacob have I loved, but Esau I hated”, the footnotes from the USCCB website explain the translation error:


[9:13] The literal rendering, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated,” suggests an attitude of divine hostility that is not implied in Paul’s statement. In Semitic usage “hate” means to love less; cf. Lk 14:26 with Mt 10:37. Israel’s unbelief reflects the mystery of the divine election that is always operative within it. Mere natural descent from Abraham does not ensure the full possession of the divine gifts; it is God’s sovereign prerogative to bestow this fullness upon, or to withhold it from, whomsoever he wishes; cf. Mt 3:9; Jn 8:39. The choice of Jacob over Esau is a case in point.
 
There are various senses of to hate in English.

Merriam-Webster, hate, tr. verb:
1 : to feel extreme enmity toward : to regard with active hostility
– hates his country’s enemies

2 : to have a strong aversion to : find very distasteful
hated to have to meet strangers
– hate hypocrisy
 
We can hate evil and error, but not persons, since persons are good according to nature (being created so by God).

St. Augustine:
Wherefore the man who lives according to God, and not according to man, ought to be a lover of good, and therefore a hater of evil. And since no one is evil by nature, but whoever is evil is evil by vice, he who lives according to God ought to cherish towards evil men a perfect hatred, so that he shall neither hate the man because of his vice, nor love the vice because of the man, but hate the vice and love the man. For the vice being cursed, all that ought to be loved, and nothing that ought to be hated, will remain.
CHURCH FATHERS: City of God, Book XIV (St. Augustine)
Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes:
This love and good will, to be sure, must in no way render us indifferent to truth and goodness. Indeed love itself impels the disciples of Christ to speak the saving truth to all men. But it is necessary to distinguish between error, which always merits repudiation, and the person in error, who never loses the dignity of being a person even when he is flawed by false or inadequate religious notions.(10) God alone is the judge and searcher of hearts, for that reason He forbids us to make judgments about the internal guilt of anyone.(11)

The teaching of Christ even requires that we forgive injuries,(12) and extends the law of love to include every enemy, according to the command of the New Law: “You have heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thy enemy. But I say to you: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute and calumniate you” (Matt. 5:43-44).
