Haters described by Paul

[ChristisGod]

Romans 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Titus 3:3
For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

It appears we were all once considered by God to be haters, hateful with a myriad of other sinful behaviors that are descriptive of those who are not born again.

The context, of course, is Paul's great treatise on justification by faith.

As regards what is in those verses, the contrasting opposite in what Paul says in Philippians 4.8 comes to mind:

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

Agreed I was talking about our condition pre- salvation.

 

[Enoch111]

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

You can apply this directly to (1) the evil Democrats, (2) Marxist/Anarchist BLM thugs, and (3) Fascist/Anarchist Antifa thugs.

They LOVE TO HATE. They feed on hatred, since that is the only thing that keeps them going day and night.

 

[Hidden In Him]

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

It is ultimately a spirit that inhabits the world, whereas Love inhabits Spirit-filled believers. In Revelation 18:2 it says, "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, 'Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.'"

The same word is used in the Greek here as in Titus 3:3, and refers to demonic spirits of hatred that will inhabit the false church in the end-times. Meanwhile, concerning believers who have received His Spirit, it is said, "God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of Love, and power, and a sound mind."

Two different spirits, that manifest two different kinds of behavior.
