>Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer
This is why you give them a chance to repent and change, they may be your brother or sister should they see the errors of their ways. But if they do not repent and continue to pursue innocent lives then what do you do? You have not addressed this once. So you say Jesus taught differently as opposed to John but I tell you the taught the same. If you have a large family and one of them keeps killing others in the family, at what point do you not consider them your kinsfolks? It is not hatred, Elijah had to do what he did, because he knew these types of people will not repent nor relent.
