14. The Holiness of Hatred

As Christians we are taught that hatred is evil and yet one of the most important doctrines of God is his hatred of evil.  For present day Christians this often is relegated to a few technicolored "evils" that most can agree upon. However, the Bible calls us to love our neighbors, and this includes the hatred of any evil done to them or by them.  To grasp this in all of its implications will mean stepping into conflicts and naming dysfunctions where most fear to tread.
