Maybe you are shocked by the title of this article and thought, Hvað, does Jesus hate? Engin leið, Jesus is love and can’t hate! Vel, the Bible not only reveals the righteous love of God, Jesús, og heilagan anda, but also what things They hate. Í Gamla testamentinu, we read about the things that God hates and in the New Testament, we read about the things that Jesus and the Holy Spirit hate. Jesus wasn’t a mysterious Person, but was transparent, just like His Father. Í göngu sinni á jörðinni, Jesus clearly showed His people what pleased Him and the Father and the things that didn’t please Him and the Father. What does Jesus hate according to the Bible?
Are God’s ways above our ways and God’s thoughts are above our thoughts?
Some Christians are not familiar with God’s will and quote Isaiah 55:8, that God’s ways are above our ways and that God’s thoughts are above our thoughts. But these Christians overlooked (Meðal annarra) two important verses, namely Isaiah 55:7 og 1 Korintubréf 2:16.
Í Jesaja 55:7 God talks about the ungodly (hinir óguðlegu). Þess vegna, Jesaja 55:8 refers to the ungodly and their (vondur) ways and their (illt) Hugsanir.
We all know that the mind of the wicked people and their thoughts do not correspond with the mind and the hugsanir Guðs, Hver er heilagur og réttlátur. Þess vegna, their ways do not correspond with the ways of God.
Í 1 Korintubréf 2:16, it is written that we have the mind of Christ. If we have the mind of Christ, then we know the thoughts of God and His ways.
Þess vegna, Christians that say that God’s thoughts are above their thoughts are not born again and don’t have the Holy Spirit abiding in them. Because God revealed to us what was hidden through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God (1 Korintubréf 2:7-16).
They don’t belong to God, or they have not endurnýjaði hugann með orði Guðs, so that they have the mind of Christ.
Because the mind of Christ thinks like the Word, acts like the Word, and lives according to the will of God, and pleases Him. So that God is exalted and glorified.
Many Christians have a wrong image of Jesus
Another thing is, that many Christians have created a wrong image of Jesus, that doesn’t correspond with the true Jesus Christ.
They consider Jesus as the Jesus of the new age. The new age Jesus is a loving wishy-washy that tolerates and approves everything and accepts everything, þar á meðal synd, all because of love and peace.
But people that created this image of Jesus, don’t study the Bible and don’t know the Word. They created this image of Jesus from the doctrines and opinions of people, Bækur, og kvikmyndir, that deviate from the Bible (Orð Guðs).
The Bible reveals that Jesus was not a wishy-washy, who approved everything and turned with every wind.
Jesus was righteous and moved with compassion
Jesus was a righteous Man, who spoke with authority. He confronted the people with the truth and often spoke hard words, which would be considered in our time as hurtful or offensive. His hard words caused many people to turn away from Him.
Especially the people that followed Jesus for the signs and wonders. They couldn’t hear and bear the truth, sem Jesús talaði. Because His truth opposed their religious doctrines and customs, in which they were raised in and adhered to.
Although Jesus was a Man of compassion, His love didn’t compromise and accept behavior that diametrically opposed the will of God.
Since Jesus belonged to the Kingdom of Heaven and not to the Kingdom of darkness, His love was not a human love that is self-centered and therefore revolves around Himself and people, and is based upon feelings. But the love of Jesus was a self-denying Godly love that revolves around God and to please and glorify Him and do His will on this earth.
The love of Jesus confronted God’s people and kallaði þá til iðrunar og afnám syndarinnar. Every disciple of Jesus should walk in this same love.
The birth of the Church of Christ
After the coming of the Holy Spirit to the earth, kirkjunni; the Body of Christ was born. Sérhver, who believed in Jesus Christ, iðraðist, and was baptized in water and received the Holy Spirit, became a member of the Church of Christ.
The Church is not a building, but the Church is the assembly of born again Christians, hverjir eru clothed with Christ.
You can be a member of a local church and go to church every week, but that won’t make you a member of the Church and a citizen of the kingdom of Heaven.
Even the highest education and degree can’t make you a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
You can be a pastor in a local church, but even that won’t make you a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Only by becoming born again in Jesus Christ, you can become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Á Hvítasunnudagur, the Church of Christ was born. The people that believed, iðraðist, and were made righteous, and followed Jesus by keeping Boðorð hans and waiting for His promise, fylltust heilögum anda.
From that moment the Holy Spirit dwelled in the people, whereby man became the habitation of God; the temple of God.
Just like Jesus was the temple of God, because of God’s presence by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (a.o. Matthías 26:61; 27:40, Mark 14:58, John 2:19-21, 1 Korintubréf 3:16-17; 6:19, 2 Korintubréf 6:16, Efesusbréfið 2:21-22).
The Church of Christ was born and received clear instructions from Jesus, höfuð kirkjunnar. The Church still receives instructions from the Word and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit reveals everything Jesus says
The Holy Spirit makes everything that Jesus says known to the born again believers that are the sons and daughters of God.
The Church obeyed the commandments of Jesus and represented and established the Kingdom of God on earth.
The born again believers that assembled together, represented and established the Kingdom of God by obeying Jesus and the Father, preaching the gospel of the truth, iðrun and the forgiveness of sin, casting out demons and healing the sick. They spoke in other tongues and the signs and wonders followed them (Matthías 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-18, Lúkas 24:47-48).
The devil’s plan to tempt and destroy the Church of Christ
The devil thought he accomplished his plan when Jesus was crucified. He thought he was rid of Jesus, en hann hafði rangt fyrir sér. Instead of being rid of Jesus, he got hundreds and thousands of‘ little Christs’ in return. Nú, his kingdom was in greater danger than before and lost more ground.
What could he do to ensure that they would not be a threat to him and his kingdom anymore? By infiltrating their mind with lies and Kenningar djöfla, which would lead them astray. Þessi átt, they would become powerless and be no longer a threat to him and his kingdom. And so the devil executed his plan.
In every generation, since the coming of the Holy Spirit, the devil did everything he could to seduce and mislead Christians and lead them astray. Svo að, they would enter the path of unrighteousness (ranglæti).
Vegna þess, that many Christians didn’t take their stand and hold their ground on the living Word of God; Jesús, and didn’t submit to His will, but deviated from His will and Boðorð hans, the plan of the devil succeeded, time and time again, and the Church slowly drifted away.
This phenomenon already happened in the generation of the first apostles, as we read in the letters from Paul, John, Pétur, James, og Jude.
But not only the apostles wrote to the local churches and warned them, gave them instructions, og kallaði þá til iðrunar. Jesus also warned the churches and called them to repentance, when Jesus appeared to John on the Isle of Patmos.
Jesus confronted the seven Churches with their works
Not only did Jesus encourage the seven churches and told them what pleased Him, but Jesus also confronted the churches with their unrighteousness and kallaði þá til iðrunar í einu.
They deviated and if they would not repent, Jesus would, Meðal annarra, remove the candlestick out of his place.
The fabel of once saved always saved
Þess vegna, the preaching of ‘einu sinni vistað alltaf vistað' (eternal security) og message of grace; that it doesn’t matter how you live and that you may live the way you want to live, even if you keep habitually living in sin, is one big lie of the devil!
Auðvitað, the devil wants these messages to be believed and preached since this message means a gain fyrir ríki sitt. But Jesus is very clear, He can’t be more clear than His words.
Does the Church want to be prepared?
Mundu, that Jesus said these things after His death and resurrection and after the coming of the Holy Spirit. Þess vegna, Jesus said these things in the same dispensation as we live in. Ekkert hefur breyst, except that the end is near and Jesus will soon return, and He wants to prepare His Church for His coming. En spurningin er, does the Church want to be prepared?
Has Jesus not already removed the candlestick from many churches after all His warnings? Because many churches are seated in the dark and have no clue which way they go.
They have rejected the spiritual Compass and replaced the Compass with human intellect and philosophies of man, and try to be successful and receive eternal life. But they will not succeed, because without the spiritual Compass, they will be lost and never reach their destination.
What did Jesus hate?
Jesus hated iniquity (ranglæti), as is written in Hebrews 1:8-9. Jesus the son of the living God loved righteousness but hated iniquity.
En til sonarins segir hann, Hásætið þitt, Ó Guð, er um aldur og ævi: Sprot af réttlæti er sprotinn af ríki þínu. Þú hefur elskað réttlæti, og hataði misgjörð; Þess vegna Guð, Jafnvel Guð þinn, hefur smurt þig með gleðiolíu fyrir ofan félaga þína (Hebrear 1:8-9)
The word unrighteousness comes from the Greek word ‘ἀνομία’ (anómía) which means wickedness, lögleysa, lawless deed:- ranglæti, misgjörðir, transgresseth law, transgression of law, ranglæti.
Jesus was born of God and was righteous and loved righteousness.
Because Jesus was righteous and holy, which means that Jesus was set apart unto God for His service and was devoted to Him, Jesus hated iniquity (unrighteousnes)s.
Jesús sagði: “No man can serve two masters: því annað hvort mun hann hata þann, og elska hinn; ella mun hann halda við þann eina, og fyrirlíta hitt. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthías 6:24)
Jesus didn’t want to have any part in the works of iniquity. Because Jesus knew, who was the source of the works of iniquity.
He knew the unrighteous works came forth through obedience to the fallen angel, who is the father of the fallen man, namely the devil.
Jesus didn’t bow to the devil
Jesus didn’t bow to the devil during His walk on earth. He didn’t belong to the generation of fallen man. And because of the fact that Jesus didn’t bow for the devil and didn’t belong to the generation of fallen man, the world hated Jesus.
Jesus confronted and testified of their evil works and their sins and not everyone was pleased with that.
Jesus hated the works of iniquity, og þess vegna, the workers of iniquity hated Jesus and rejected Jesus.
Kærleikur Jesú til föður síns
But Jesus walked in the Godly love. And because Jesus elskaði Guð above all with all His heart, Hugur, sál og styrk, He could handle everything. No behavior or words from people could stop Him.
If Jesus would have listened to the lies of the devil and submitted Himself to the devil, by listening and obeying him, alveg eins og Adam, then Jesus could not have been the Substitute for fallen man and Jesus could not be sacrificed.
But what a relief, that Jesus didn’t succumb to all those temptations from the devil.
Jesús dvaldi hlýðinn til föður síns. Because of His great love for God, and out of that love, He gave His life and allowed God to put the sins and iniquities of the world upon Him.
Jesus allowed what Jesus hated most and what caused Him to be separated from His Father and led to death.
Jesus hated iniquity and sin during His life on earth.
He not only hated iniquity during His life on earth but even after His death and resurrection,
Jesus made it very clear that He still hated iniquity.
Because in the Book of Revelation, Jesus mentioned twice the works of the Nicolaitans, sem Jesús hataði.
Jesus not only mentioned the works of the Nicolaitans, which He hated. Jesus also mentioned the teachings of Balaam and the tolerance and doctrine of Jezebel.
The scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His Kingdom
Þá opnaði Pétur munninn, og sagði, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: En í hverri þjóð sem hann óttast hann, og virkar réttlæti, er samþykkt með honum (Virkar 10:35)
In these days nothing has changed. Jesus still hates iniquity (ranglæti) and doesn’t approve of it.
Jesus is not a Promoter of unrighteousness (ranglæti), but Jesus is a Promoter of righteousness.
Þegar öllu er á botninn hvolft, the scepter of His Kingdom is the scepter of righteousness.
Everyone that belongs to the Kingdom of God and in whom the Word and the Holy Spirit abides, shall have a fear for the Lord and be a promoter of righteousness and therefore walk in righteousness.
