Because no-one is even remotely close to the truth there.
#1: (We do NOT war against flesh and blood.)
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
#2 (Secondly, you don't have a clue what Christ is doing in a person's life. That person you "HATE" today may accept Christ tomorrow. Then where are you, you've "murdered" one of God's elect. )
"Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." 1 John 3:15
#3 (You are not appointed judge of another man's servant.) *you were attacking other Christians at this time*
"Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
#4: (Christ is capable of chastising and rebuking those whom He loves.)
"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." Hebrews 12:6
"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." Revelation 3:9
#5: (His kindness leads us to repentance, not His wrath.)
"Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" Romans 2:4
#6: (His mercy and grace is what attracts us to Him.)
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved"
#7: (You were only told to visit widows and orphans in their time of need and to spread the gospel to all nations.)
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
#8: (Your hate is causing the pagans to blaspheme the Lord.) *false teachers*
"For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written." Romans 2:24
#9: (Did He say Love God with all we have and love our neighbor as ourselves, or was it hate your neighbor as you see fit? Help me out here!)
A: "And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:31
(And like I said in the post, in the story of the good Samaritan Christ tells you exactly who your "neighbor" is.)
#10: (No kidding following commands is works, why do you think He saved us to begin with? The word says we were saved to do those works. Ephesians 2 doesn't end at verse 9, what does verse 10 say?)
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
#11 (in Galatians 5:14 Paul even narrows it to ONE single command for Christians. I'll give you a free hint, it's not "hate your sinful neighbor".)
"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

True.....and you point is? I'll have you know we war against SIN everyday...do you not? And we are to HATE SIN. I never said to war against sinners, I said we are suppose to HATE some of them where the scriptures says so. Mainly it is God that does the hating, not us. We just agree with God and say, Amen.
#2 (Secondly, you don't have a clue what Christ is doing in a person's life. That person you "HATE" today may accept Christ tomorrow. Then where are you, you've "murdered" one of God's elect. )
"Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." 1 John 3:15
You know....lost people are not "my brother".....but maybe you didn't know that...go figure. Anywho, I do know EXACTLY what is going on in a lost persons life who is not saved. And it is God's HATE and WRATH.
JOHN 3:36
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but THE WRATH OF GOD abideth on him."
So as you can see.....I know what is happening in the heart of the lost....they are the "walking damned".
#3 (You are not appointed judge of another man's servant.) *you were attacking other Christians at this time*
"Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Yes I AM appointed to JUDGE ALL THINGS. I just am not allowed to judge if I am doing the same sin. Case in point. Say I was a queer (heaven forbid!!) I couldn't tell other queers that they were wrong because I would be a hypocrite. The rules on judging are right there in the Bible bud....read them.
1 CORINTHIANS 2:15
"But HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. "
Matthew 7:1-5
1 JUDGE NOT, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Hope the next set of verses are better than these
And you say that based on what exactly?
I did not know you were a God, and could see into every facet of my life?
And that's strike #3.
I have nothing else to say to you in regards to you desiring to hate the lost person.

Ok, first rule: tighten the belt buckle of priest, enforcing celibacy instead of suggesting it like Paul did. Maybe we can force them into sexual transgression
Second, I vote we put money before anything. While we're at it, lets switch the commandments around, and move the Sabbath.
Maybe we can find a lunatic to dig up some crap and redefine God's will.
Yeah, rules are a great idea. =P
I'll play..
Third: Can we still pray to the queen of heaven? Perhaps give her a Christian name?
I often wonder what the vatican's contemporary justification for her is, when confronted with scriptural evidence.
