Yes Michael, a much forgotten point in the battle with the evil world system. Words do matter. The enemy careful craft their wording and the meanings of key words such as the word "hate or hater" to created their web of deceit. They spend countless hours of radio, TV and Internet time redefining words.
A hater is now someone who disagrees with the world system of standards as defined by the United Nations, EU. U.S. Government, Media or some other favored group with an Antichrist agenda.
There are only two systems in the world today, Yahweh's System and the Antichrist System. Every family, every day faces the daily challenge to walk in the way of the Lord. They must study to show to themselves what is required by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matt 7*:
12 All things then, as much as you should want that men should do to you, so also you do to them! for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter through the narrow gate! for spacious is the gate, and broad is the way leading unto the destruction, and many are the ones entering through it. 14 For narrow is the gate, and being afflicted is the way, the one leading unto the life, and few are the ones finding it.
