I hate the sin of self-righteousness.

I hate the sin of pointing out the faults of others while ignoring one's own.

[Charnock]

I hate the sin of not hating sin.

I hate the sin of hating absolutes.

I hate the sin of doubting God's Word.

I hate the sin of turning personal absolutes into absolutes for others.

I hate the sin of using God's Word as an attacking weapon rather than a source of redemption.

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, andpowerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

There are time the Word needs to bring about death? Repentance is a type of death corrosponding to the death of Jesus on the cross.

But the Word is balanced between life and death, destruction and building up, mercy and judgement.

The Word can't be complete in us if we would take the life of the Word without the death or the mercy without the judgement.

This verse has nothing to do with using the bible to harm people.

Pointing out someones sin is not harming them, it might just help them be saved. Doing that in a maliceous, hateful way is not right.
