Jesus condemns hatred by teaching that even anger in the heart leads to judgment.
Not Everyone Hates
Jesus condemns hatred by teaching that even anger in the heart leads to judgment.
No Hate, Only Love Thy Neighbor
Jesus condemns hatred by teaching that even anger in the heart leads to judgment, saying, “ Whoever is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; any man who uses abusive language toward his brother shall be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and if he holds him into contempt he risks the fire of Gehenna” (Matthew 5:22, NAB)
He calls his followers beyond hatred to radical love, commanding, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44, NAB)
