UNLOVING. 2nd Timothy 3:3 “Unloving” describes a lack of natural affection, like the bond between parents and children. Hard-hearted callousness happens in people who only care about themselves and their interests, with no positive or caring feelings toward others. "Without natural affection" means that we can become so used to each other that we grow hard-hearted toward those who love us, taking them for granted. Expressions of affection can decline until even "I love you" means little more than "hello" or "goodbye."
Unloving "truce-breakers" are people who cannot be reconciled with, including not only government officials breaking agreements with other governments but also others who refuse to come to terms. An irreconcilable person is unwilling to seek peace or make amends. Such an implacable individual shows no interest in reconciling with those who are not entirely supportive of him. Self-opinionated people who cannot or will not compromise with others are tough, unyielding individuals who refuse to listen or give in.
"False accusers, slanderers" are people who use words like the devil (the accuser). They make a point of spreading rumors, repeating gossip, and maliciously passing on lies to demean others. People often try to put others down to lift themselves up. Things you may have said are taken out of context or are used with a different tone than when spoken. The character of a slanderer is such that he looks for faults in others, often to justify his own inappropriate actions. However, character traits are often revealed both through words and actions. People described as "Incontinent" are out of control. It may be out-of-control anger, addiction, or habits, all of which suggest a lust that refuses to be restrained. Alcoholism and related problems have harmed families, marriages, and lives so much that there seems to be no solution. Loud-mouthed, debauched individuals who refuse to control their cursing when things go wrong lack self-control. Their uncontrolled passions can lead to violence and unreasonable temper tantrums that leave sad, lasting effects. The word “fierce” extends beyond facial expressions to include acts of brutality, ruthless living, and a reckless attitude. "Fierce" people are those who have no mercy or compassion. They despise kindness, meekness, and gentleness in others and are forceful, commanding, and boastful themselves, aiming to project a tough image to scare others. They often take a cruel pleasure in making people afraid of them. These types of individuals often form gangs that break laws, terrorize others, and defy authority. People who despise those who are good often mock a child's character, lifestyle, and beliefs. They just "don't like Christians" even if they don't know them. When someone sees what is good and does not want it or choose to do it, they take out their frustration on those who do good. When they observe those who do good and see the positive results, they oppose goodness of any kind for some wicked reason.
