Who Should We Hate Spiritually?

Hi R____,
You ask “Am I on the right track with this?”
The answer is, yes, your analysis is right on target, and you are ‘discerning… the things of the spirit’ very clearly.

1Co 2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [ them], because they are spiritually discerned.

So I could not agree more with every word you have written here. I have said as much many times myself. Satan is our first spiritual ‘father’. Babylon the Great, with all of her false doctrines, is our first spiritual ‘mother’, and our ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ are our associates in whom all the false doctrines of our spiritual mother, have taken root and abide. The churches of Babylon are man- made and man- founded orthodox organizations, founded upon the doctrines of the men who founded them and whose names they bear. They are not founded upon the Word of God, and when confronted with Christ’s Words, they hate them still to this very day.
The point I was making in writing to you was that the word ‘hate’ in Luk 14 is better understood as ‘love less’ as is demonstrated by the same account in Matthew. I am very encouraged that you have seen this and have seen beyond the physical words involved and can discern the spiritual message being delivered by our Lord.
Thanks for sharing this with me. Again, You are right on target, and it is good to have it explained spiritually as you have done here.

Your brother in Christ,
Mike
