I love you enough to make you hate me

A hypocrite might be aggravating and make you hate God. I can understand that, but the thing I've discovered is,is that there are all sorts of them. I would say that everyone has been  one at one time or another. We are broken people and we need God. The truth does not change whether the person who tells it is living it or not. This is what we need to focus on. You can find violent vegans and hippies that hate people and anti -war activists that are willing to fight police. So, are you a hypocrite? I imagine that we  all want to be good people  even if we seem hateful. I want to. Sometimes the truth about the bible makes people very angry. Nobody likes to hear that God is not happy with them. There are things in the "Word of God" that bug me and even irk me. There are things that make me feel guilty. If the bible says homosexuality is wrong, I have to honor that, whether I like it or not. If I am am totally living out the "Word of God" then I am going say things that will "CHEESE"people who are living in sin. I would like hear that I can behave however I want to, but I don't rule the Earth. I am not God. I don't care if I make you angry. I care about you enough to tell you things that hurt. Is this hatred ?Am I telling you that God hates you. No. I love you so much that I'm willing to have you hate me for my words. I don't care if you hate me I'm just doing what God told me to do. I'm not judging you. Jesus said, " I did not come to bring peace, but a sword". A sword does not make you feel good. The bible also says that "the truth is a sword".  Jesus will make people hate if they don't honor his word. I wish people would not confuse love with hatred... they are so close. Love is more than just joy. Someone who loves you will try to stop you from falling off a cliff and someone who doesn't care will stand there and watch you fall. If I try to shove away from the edge.... it could be painful... but I still love you. God is not a hypocrite... he loves you and you should not let the behavior of others separate you from the saviour. God knows who does what and he forgives hypocrites and he forgives you. Rest your soul in that.
