6 Common Behaviors of Toxic People *NEW*
The Bible addresses these things with answers on what the actions and mentalities look like and how to handle a person who allows their flesh and the devil to control them. Even seculars who don't know God see the increase in evil.
2 Timothy 3 explains it all!

Yes, Sending Someone to Hell is an Act of Hatred
Hell is an act of hatred toward sin and those who are indwelt by sin. One cannot separate the man from his sin. Man is what he does, says and believes. We are not able to do, say or believe something that is not in our character.
Isaiah 59:1-3 "1Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. 2But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear. 3For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.…"
Isaiah 1:15
"When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood."
Psalm 26:4-6 "…4I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites. 5I hate the mob of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. 6I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,…"
Micah 3:4
"Then they will cry out to the LORD, but He will not answer them. At that time He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done."
God does not hide His face from those He loves. But He does hide from those who have rejected Him.
Psalm 27:8-10 "…8 My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek. 9 Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, the God of my salvation. 10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me."
Written for Israel but applicable for born again believers today. We do not have the promises for Israel as Gentiles, but we do know that the character of God remains the same for all those who love Him. All things were not written to us but all things were written for us, for our learning to discern the character of God and how He operates.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
Isaiah 59:1-3 "1Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. 2But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear. 3For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.…"

The Preachers are Going Down
Don't be surprised if your favorite preacher flips on you, doing a 180 when you thought you knew him so well. This is happening regularly now as God exposes the inner hearts of those who were pretending to love Christ but never became born again.
Matthew 7:15
"15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
The prominent preachers are falling like flies at the poison they are embracing. We are living in the last days of apostasy, more people will speak lies than are speaking the truth.
More people will love sin than love righteousness and more people will believe they are good than are actually good.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.
3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears, they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
We are encountering many people who attend churches all over this country but become enraged when we explain their doctrines are doctrines of devils rather than truth from God. Even when we prove it to them they remain angry and will even exact revenge when possible.
Do not be surprised by any of this. The beauty of it all is that we know this is what is coming and it means we will be going home soon.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
“Difficult Times Will Come” (ragingly insane times)
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

Forcing People Does Not Change Hearts
Muslims are narcissists, they do not allow anyone to exist who does not think the way they want them to think. All other religions are based on forcing rules, most of which were not given by the Bible. They all want to burden people with things to do to earn their salvation. When Christ died He did it for us! He paid the penalty that we do not have to pay or earn.
Born again believers share the truth of Christ because they have love, but they sense no inclination to force anyone. Christ never forced anyone, He merely told the truth and left the decision up to the hearer.
Any "Christian" who rages because someone doesn't believe them, may not be born again. Born again believers operate from love and kindness. We may rebuke the stubborn heart and then remove ourselves but we do no harm and we do not manipulate people for the desired outcome.
When someone won't listen we pray for them and let God do His work on them. We share the gospel of peace with others so they may experience the wonderful life and inheritance that comes from knowing Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all."
Isaiah 26:3
"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you."
As born again believers we love people, our hope is that they find Christ so they can be saved from their sin the way Christ saved all of us.

They Must Force Others
The narcissist is not content to do as he pleases, he must force everyone else to think the way he thinks. This is why he never listens to those with opposing ideas, even if they are righteous and good. In fact, if an opposing idea comes from the mouth of someone the narcissist hates, he must pretend that person is bad for having a different view. And, he will not stop there, he will attempt to turn all the targets friends against them in retaliation for daring to be authentically themselves.
The Narcissist never shares information they simply expel their opinion expecting those who hear to bow to him. We must share our views but we are not responsible to force anyone to believe them. Never take these narcissists seriously. They are all about manipulation and intimidation, there is frequently no depth of character for them. They remain on a superficial judgemental level all of their lives judging things they know nothing about but pretend they know everything.
Proverbs 12:14-16 "…14 By fruitful speech a man is filled with good things, and the work of his hands returns to him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel. 16 A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.…"
