Yet you do have this: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
I am better at hating false doctrine than I am at believing and behaving in love based on true doctrine.
It is right to fight against bad teaching.
It is wrong to ignore good teaching.
We can dwell on what is wrong so much that we dwell on nothing else.
We can dwell on our hate of evil to the exclusion of everything else.
Revelation 2:4
But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first.
It is good to hate evil.
It is better to love God.
If you love God, you will also hate evil.
If you just hate evil, you can live without love for anything or anyone, even God.
