   The true DR Bible contains the word "hate" in more than 75 passages.   
      
   In some cases, it is required by God's people to hate.   And By God   
   Himself.   So it is not true what you state in your subject line.   
      
   Exodus 18   
      
   20 And to shew the people the ceremonies and the manner of worshipping,   
   and the way wherein they ought to walk, and the work that they ought to   
   do. 21 And provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, in   
   whom there is truth, and that hate avarice, and appoint of them rulers   
   of thousands, and of hundreds, and of fifties, and of tens. 22 Who may   
   judge the people at all times: and when any great matter soever shall   
   fall out, let them refer it to thee, and let them judge the lesser   
   matters only: that so it may be lighter for thee, the burden being   
   shared out unto others. 23 If thou dost this, thou shalt fulfil the   
   commandment of God, and shalt be able to bear his precepts: and all this   
   people shall return to their places with peace.   
      
   I place this as a correction to you, because it claims obedience to the   
   commandments.   So it is your kind, that portrays false information on   
   the internet with posts such as these, and that is what makes you a heretic.

   > are benevolent to an enemy, you have rather spared yourself than him.   
   > And if you do him a kindness, you benefit yourself more than him."

   > December 21st - Our Lady of Beauraing: The Apparitions Continue   
   >   
   > Today marks the anniversary of the appearance of Our Blessed Mother to   
   > five children in Beauraing, Belgium in 1932. Our Lady of Beauraing,   
   > also known as the “Virgin of the Golden Heart,” had appeared to   
   > Fernande, Gilberte, and Albert Voisins and Andree and Gilberte   
   > Degeimbres over the previous weeks, beginning on November 29. On that   
   > day, the children saw a “beautiful lady” walking through the air above   
   > a railroad bridge. Dressed in a flowing white gown, the lady emanated   
   > a radiant glow, and smiled at them as she approached. She was observed   
   > to be praying, never spoke, and simply gazed upon them with beautiful   
   > blue eyes.   
   >   
   > Following the apparition, the nuns at the convent, the children’s   
   > parents, and even their friends had scolded them and teased them. But   
   > the children maintained their story, and over the next several nights,   
   > witnessed the same apparition of Our Blessed Mother. On December 2,   
   > the children, bravely, asked her name, and she nodded her assent to   
   > the question, “Are you the Immaculate Virgin?”   
   >   
   > Over the next several weeks, between December 2 and 21, Our Virgin of   
   > the Golden Heart continued to appear nightly to the children, in the   
   > convent garden, hovering over a hawthorn tree. She smiled gently at   
   > them, prayed, and they were transfixed by her beauty.   
   >   
   > On the feast of the Immaculate Conception, on December 8, a crowd of   
   > 15,000 gathered, observing the children becoming “transfixed” and   
   > immovable. Although no one else could see the Blessed Virgin, their   
   > eyes locked and a look of peace and serenity overtook them. Physicians   
   > tested them during the apparition, finding them immovable and unhurt   
   > by pin pricks, burns, and lights. The five children remained in   
   > ecstasy for nearly 15 minutes, at which time they Blessed Virgin   
   > departed as in past visions.   
   >   
   > On the 17th of December, Our Blessed Mother requested that a chapel be   
   > built, upon questioning from the children (prompted by the clergy).   
   > Today, on the 21st, Our Virgin of the Golden Heart appeared again to   
   > the children in the small convent garden, alighting on the hawthorn   
   > tree.   
   >   
   > As had become their custom, the children prayed the Holy Rosary along   
   > with Mary, transfixed and peaceful. Upon completion of the prayer,   
   > they said, “Tell us who you are.”   
   >   
   > Our Blessed Mother clearly replied, “I am the Immaculate Virgin.”   
   > After a few more joyful moments in her presence, Our Lady disappeared   
   > as she had in each previous apparition, floating into the heavens.   
   >   
   > The Blessed Virgin would return to the children 33 times over the   
   > course of 10 weeks, bringing with her a message of peace, penance, and   
   > prayer for the conversion of sinners. Our Blessed Mother graced us   
   > with her golden heart, encouraging us to sacrifice ourselves for the   
   > Lord, and for the salvation of the world. We pray today, in the words   
   > of Our Mother, to find the strength and virtue “to be good” in the   
   > eyes of the Lord.
