the scripture says there is
a time to love
but the scripture says
something else
a time to hate, to refrain
from love,
when faced with evil
a time for war and peace
time in episodes, a waxing
and waning,
like the moon, the tides
the changing of the seasons
a time to hate, to refrain
from love,
when faced with evil
to hold back our affection
a time to hate things of the
world
that keep us from our Savior

a time to hate – v2
Ecclesiastes 3:8 (KJV)
“A time to love, and a time to hate; a time
of war, and a time of peace.”
Psalm 101:3
“I will not look with approval on anything
that is vile. I hate what faithless people do;
I will have no part in it.”
Proverbs 13:5
“The righteous hate what is false, but the
wicked make themselves
a stench and bring shame on themselves.”
2 Chronicles 19:2
“And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out
to meet him,
and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou
help the ungodly,
and love them that hate the LORD? therefore
is wrath
upon thee from before the LORD.”
Luke 14:26
“If any man come to me, and hate not his
father, and mother,
and wife, and children, and brethren, and
sisters, yea, and
his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.”
Revelations 2:2
“I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy
patience, and how
thou canst not bear them which are evil: and
thou hast tried
them which say they are apostles, and are
not, and hast found them liars:”
