What is a hate crime? Why is it today that every disagreement is a hate crime? Is it because the world has turned its back on God? Maybe the person who is receiving it, might not want to know that they are wrong? That they’re sinning & don’t want to face the truth about it? Love the person but, hate the sin. As for race hate crime, that should never be.
Yes, there are people out there, that they just hate anything & everything. That is a very sad life to live. They’re so un-happy. Love the person but, hate the sin.
As for the masque in New York City near ground zero; we’re still healing from happen September 11, 2001. It isn’t a hate crime for the American people not wanting the masque there. It’s ok to have it somewhere else but, not there as over 3,000 people were murder there on September 11, 2001 by Islam.

Look at the meaning of hate in Hebrew, English, and Greek:

God does not want us to hate. God has set things that he wants us to do – follow the 10 commandments, love they neighbors, have no other god’s before you, & God tells us to love.
Love (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.[1] In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. In religious context, love is not just a virtue, but the basis for all being ("God is love"[2]), and the foundation for all divine law (Golden Rule).
The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my wife"). "Love" can also refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros (cf. Greek words for love), to the emotional closeness of familial love, or to the platonic love that defines friendship,[3] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. [4] This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Look at the meaning of love in Hebrew, English & Greek:
Love אַהֳבָח a-ha-vah 1094-C (N) 160
Love (V) אהב a-hav 1094-C (V) 157
1 John 4:7 – 12 & 16 - 21
004:007 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
004:008 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
004:009 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
004:010 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
004:011 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
004:012 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
004:016 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
004:017 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
004:018 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
004:019 We love him, because he first loved us.
004:020 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
004:021 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Galatians 5: 22 – 26
005:022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
005:023 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
005:024 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
005:025 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
005:026 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
1 Corinthians 13
013:001 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
013:002 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
013:003 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
013:004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
013:005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
013:006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
013:007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
013:008 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
013:009 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
013:010 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
013:011 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
013:012 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
013:013 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
With loving others we get a blessing. And to walk in love is walking in the GIFTS of the HOLY SPIRIT. To walk as Jesus Christ walked. To love as Christ loved. That is God!
Satan tries to fool us in so many. Look at Islam, there is not any love in them. You can see by how they act, how they live, & you can see the emptiness in them. But, if we stay walking in love, God is in us. Satan tries his best for us to stay in hate. And we lose the closeness of God. We lose our peace, our way of life, & we lose ourselves. I do not want to be without God. There is emptiness without God. Do you want that?? To really look at it in that manner, who would want to be without God?
So we need to walk in love & not hate! We should let the light of God shine through us! Let Satan & his lies live in darkness. There is much more in the light, in the Fruit of the Spirit, in love, & in God. God doesn’t hate but sin. He loves us & covers us in His love.
Let us walk in God’s love to show the world that with God all things are possible.
Walk in the impossible. Walk with God’s love in us. To love as Christ loved.
In Jesus Christ Name,
AMEN & AMEN
Rev. Londa
