Abhor that which is evil…

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. [Romans 12:9]


Mahx Note:

Abhor = be repelled by. Cleave to = be drawn by.


Commanded Instruction (CI) = Don’t let yourself be attracted to evil. Let yourself be attracted to that which is good.


It is to be understood that if you are desiring to be within the spirit of Mashiach then this instruction will be helpful to you. It is also assumed that if this is true of you then you have let this be known. If you have let this be known then this instruction will carry the weight of a commandment. For your choices and actions do not affect you alone but also others, especially all those with whom you are in communion.
