Lack of love and empathy are forms of hate. Any time we treat others as though they are invisible and not worthy of our kindness, we have engaged in hatred. Sometimes these attitudes are deliberate and others times they are a manifestation of intense self love.
Philippians 2:3 "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;"
Matthew 23:23 ""Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others."
We are not in obedience to God if we negate, ignore and demean others.
