Jehovah's Servants Hate His Enemies
Posted February 22, 2007
He that hath ears to hear let him hear what the Spirit of God is saying. The following passages of scripture are written for your consideration. They are translations from King James Version, the Interlinear Bible by Hendrickson, and the New International Version.
The words of David recorded in Psalm 139:17-24, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! v.17 (KJV)
And how precious are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! v.17 (Interlinear)

O Jehovah, do not I hate those hating You? And am I not detesting those rising against You? v.21 (Interlinear)
Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you? v.21 (NIV)

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; v.23 (Interlinear)
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. v.23 (NIV)
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. v.24 (KJV)
And see if any wicked way is in me; and lead me in the way everlasting. v.24 (Interlinear)
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." v.24 (NIV)
During 27 years of public ministry, my words spoken by the Spirit of God have been greatly challenged by the Baptist people. They have lied and attacked me, accused me, judged me, and condemned me. Baptist have been more vicious than any other group of people. It has taken me 27 years for God to perfect (complete) my faith and my love to be able to walk against these attacks. (see Ephesians 6:11-20)
God bless you,
