We know that if we hate a brother we are a murderer at heart:

> eternal life abiding in him.” I John 3:14-15
Hatred is different than “**disliking**” someone. Hatred can entail such animosity that things escalate beyond peace, but disliking can be of a more modest nature in terms of behavior. I wonder if disliking and hatred are the same?
**Q: Is there any biblical justification for disliking somebody? (Put another way): Is it a sin to “dislike” another person?**
