An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
What? I back this up with two scriptures and you define it as baseless?!?! You didn't bother to find a cross-reference or any other reference.
I honestly agree with the idea that there are things we should hate, as well. (And said so!) But when we carry that hatred from things to people, we cross a line that should not be crossed. You never know whom God will call to serve Him. All of the twelve were Jews, and Paul (aka Saul of Tarsus) was actually a Pharisee who disagreed so vehemently with the Apostles that he tried to kill all who had an alliance to them ---Until Jesus showed up and turned his whole life around 180 degrees.
