The Bible passages 1 John 4:20 and 1 John 2:9 indicate that those who claim to love God but hate others are liars, as one cannot love God whom they have not seen if they hate their brother whom they have seen. The document argues that while culture says disagreeing or disapproving of someone's lifestyle means fearing or hating them, Jesus did not allow for hatred of anyone. Additionally, loving someone does not require agreeing with or approving of everything they believe or do.

1 John 4:20 says, "If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." And 1 John 2:9 says "Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness." I am not allowed by Jesus to hate anyone. Our culture has accepted two huge lies: The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
