I refer back to the original sin; To believe you are intrinsically superior or inferior to your brother is the root of all sin. Hierarchies that are based on righteousness, these are orthogal to judgement. Christ is our King, God is the only creator. God appointed Jesus Christ as head of his church and he has all authority over creation. If you see a man that has his will purified and united with the Father, you also see the Father. There is no differentiation, because he will act in accordance. We are all called to be perfect, and God would not ask us to do the impossible. Only through Christ can we be purified to come into the presence of the Father and be perfected by Him.

Everyone knows it in their heart that hate is evil

Yet hatred of evil is good.

We all know that we are not God and that he ought to be worshipped, so are without excuse (Rom. 1). But by nature we reject the Creator and worship the creation (Rom. 1). We also tend excuse our own sin (Rom. 2). "All have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God." (Rom. 3). "The wages of sin is death." (Rom. 6). But if we believe in Christ, we shall be saved. (Romans 10) because of Christ (Isaiah 53, Romans 5).

Agreed, this is the state of the christian when they are yet "little ones" in Christ. The kingdom of heaven is at hand, and we are not condemned to sin for our remaining years. It is within reach to live with the love of God and be ambassadors for Christ.

Yes, the gospel in its simplest form, can be understood by a child. But we are not called to have the understanding of a child, but of a mature man. Trust like a child, understand like a man.
