AOC Flips the Religious Freedom Argument on Its Head | NowThis

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." -John 15:18,19\\

The unsaved world has always hated Christians. We are hated because we have Christ's Spirit within us, "...Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his" -Romans 8:9. The world hated Jesus with a passion, so much that they murdered Him upon a cross.

Jesus said that He was hated without a cause. Jesus did nothing to hurt anyone, yet the Jews wanted Him crucified! It was the wickedness of the people's hearts that caused them to hate the Lord, Who had only tried to help them. They bit the hand that was trying to spiritually feed them. Let us be careful to seek the truth and not be guilty of hating those who are trying to help us. We may not agree with someone on every issue, but we should at least be willing to hear what they have to say and look fully into the matter for ourselves. People today are not listening to God, just as the Jews didn't in the Bible. The wicked don't want to hear the TRUTH, they just prefer to hate someone without a cause.

Sometimes all you have to do to make somebody hate you is to show up.
