Hate is as negative as it gets, and of it comes a sea of more negatives! It is also, unhealthy for the body, mind, heart, and emotions of those who adhere to it, and insist on living in it, causing a wide range of issues which need not exist...
It is perplexing to me that SO many who claim to be of CHRIST JESUS, exist in hate, and allow hatred to rule their days! Hate has become acceptable when the only source of acceptance of this extreme is from the evil ruler of this time! THE LORD *GOD* DOES NOT accept hatred as a way for HIS people to exist in; it IS against HIM, for HE IS LOVE! LOVE IS HIS WILL, HIS WAY, HIS WISDOM, HIS LAW!!!
Those who claim *GOD* MUST understand, hatred IS the work of the enemy! We MUST understand the deep, disturbing workings of hatred, in order to REMOVE ourselves from such! Hate holds NOTHING just, right, or good, and INCREASES injustice, wrongs, and badness!!!
In these times we are seeing, and experiencing the far reaching, long lasting effects of hate, and they are destroying the world, bit, by bit! It is unfortunate that no one is listening to the LORD OF LOVE, who TEACHES a BETTER WAY!!!
MANY people today who claim CHRIST JESUS as their LORD, and SAVIOUR, are existing in the FRUITLESS state of hate! Just from this sentence, we CAN SEE the lack of connection between THE LORD, and hate! Those OF THE LORD, are NO longer of the flesh, they are of spirit, and OF LOVE; they CANNOT succumb to matters of the flesh because LOVE has FILLED them, and CAUSED them to bear FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, which are ALL things just, right, good, FOR HIS GLORY, and the greater advantages of others!!!
Christian people do NOT hate as the world does! BY our FRUITS the world will know us, and THE LORD WILL BE HONOURED through us, thought, act, and reaction! EVEN when hate is surrounding us, and threatening to chain us to itself, it is futile BECAUSE LOVE REMAINS MUCH MORE POWERFUL than the temptation to hate, or step away from LOVE! LOVE IS LIGHT, and LIGHT DESTROYS the darkness! Hate IS darkness, and IMPRISONS souls!!!
Hatred IS controlled BY us, and CAN be eradicated, there is NO doubt, or question about it, and IF one has ANY desire towards *GOD*, they MUST put hate behind them!!!
There are at least 56 references to TEACH us about hate in THE BIBLE, along with verses which correspond to the necessity of stepping away from it! Let's look at a few:
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
The love of God in Christ, in the hearts of Christians from the Spirit of adoption, is the great proof of conversion. This must be tried by its effects on their temper, and their conduct to their brethren. If a man professes to love God, and yet indulges anger or revenge, or shows a selfish disposition, he gives his profession the lie. But if it is plain that our natural enmity is changed into affection and gratitude, let us bless the name of our God for this seal and earnest of eternal happiness. Then we differ from the false professors, who pretend to love God, whom they have not seen, yet hate their brethren, whom they have seen.
PROVERBS 10: 12...
Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.
Hatred stirreth up strifes---
A man, whose heart is full of hatred and malice against his neighbour, will stir up, or awake, as the word signifies, contentions and quarrels which were happily laid asleep; these he renews by tale bearing, and whisperings, and evil surmises; by raising lies, spreading false reports and calumnies, and by virulent reproaches and slanders;
but love covereth all sins; not its own, but others; in imitation of the pardoning love and grace of God, which covers all the sins of his people with the blood and righteousness of his Son.
Love spreads its mantle over the sins of its fellow creatures and Christians, and forgives them, even all of them: instead of exposing them, hides and conceals them; and, instead of loading and aggravating the infirmities of others, puts the best constructions on them, hopes and bears, and believes all things, 1 Corinthians 13:7; see 1 Peter 4:8; where the apostle seems to have respect to this passage. This is not to be understood as conniving at or suffering sin upon others, or as contrary to Christian reproofs and rebukes for it.
NO GOOD comes from hatred; ALL GOOD COMES FROM LOVE! The ball is your court, play a fair, balanced, and winning game IN THE NAME OF THE LORD *GOD*, IF HE IS your LORD!!!

BIBLICAL, and/or other references marked BOLDLY IN COLOURS
1+++If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2+++If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3+++If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,b but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4+++Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5+++It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6+++Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7+++It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8+++Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9+++For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10+++but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
11+++When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12+++For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13+++And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
