Isn't this assigning a limited human emotion to an infinite intelligence?

its sad that most people are drones who have these preconcieved notions that what are supposed fit into society . think for yourselves you zombies!

Does God hate anyone?

Does God hate anyone? The answer is yes.


Psalm 5:5, "The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity,"

Psalm 11:5, "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates."

Lev. 20:23, "Moreover, you shall not follow the customs of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I have abhorred them."

Prov. 6:16-19, "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil,

19 A false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."

Hosea 9:15, "All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels."

Are these verses hard to read? Do they make you feel uncomfortable? They should. God hates sin. But, He does not punish sin. He punishes the sinner. Sin cannot be tied up and thrown into a fire. It cannot be put in a box or glued to a stick. It is rebellion. It is rebellion in the heart. It is breaking God's Law. Sin occurs inside the heart and mind of people. Therefore, God must punish the sinner. Why? Because He is both Holy and Just and the person who sins offends God. God's Holy and Just character will not allow Him to ignore this offense. Why?....

God's Law is Perfect

When God said, "Let there be light," it happened. When He commanded that the oceans be, they came into existence. God's word is powerful. What He says is never futile, empty, or without power.

The Law is a reflection of God's character. It is pure and perfect. It is powerful. The Ten Commandments reflect God's holiness and justice. These commandments are not without punishments. A law without consequences is only an empty slogan.

To sin is to break God's Law and offend His character. To sin means to challenge His character and authority. It means you go against His word. But God is not a liar. His word is true. He has said He will punish the lawbreaker.

But, praise be to God, that while we were yet sinners, Jesus died for us (Rom. 5:6). There is no way we can appease God. That is why God became one of us (John 1:1,14; Heb. 2:17), to take our place and become sin on our behalf (2 Cor. 5:21). Therefore, people have two options:

1.

Trust Jesus, God in flesh, as your savior and put your faith in the sacrifice that He made on the cross and in nothing you do.
2.

Reject the cross and let the penalty of the Law fall upon you.

Either God pays, or you do -- forever. Which will it be?

"For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins," (Heb. 10:26). If there is no sacrifice available for you, then God's wrath abides upon you because He hates sin and your sin is not removed (John 3:36). Trust Jesus alone or the wrath of God will abide upon you forever.

The sobering fact is that God is so holy and righteous that He hates the sinner (Psalm 5:5; Lev. 20:23; Prov. 6:16-19; Hos. 9:15). But it is also true that He is love (1 John 4:8). It is better to accept the love of God found in Jesus than to reject it and suffer His wrath.

keep this in your mind if you ever read the bible: hell was never mentioned in the old testament, it was called sheol, which simply meant the grave/dead. king james just converted sheol" into "hell" just so it will fit along withthe new testament.and "hell" in the new testament came from the word gehenna, which as a city dump that was always being consumed by flame to prevent the spread of diseases

These scriptures have been translated through the filter of human understanding.

I really get tired of the "translation excuse" and the "written by man" excuse.....The translational changes do not and I repeat "DO NOT" change the Bible's meaning in any way shape of form.....

I would agree with that sentiment Splendid. I would merely add "agenda" to "understanding" however.

I think God loves all of us! He just hates the evil acts!

being a pedophile apparently is more acceptable to forgive, than a person who chooses not to follow any orthodox religion.

Go figure.

Yeh, even if a person is a pedophile, and suddenly at the age of 60, he finds himself dying....he may have ruined the lives of hundreds of children in his lifetime, YET...IF he repents, and asks for forgiveness on his deathbed, he will be forgiven.

So yes, god loves a sinner, according to wat ive read of ppls religious beliefs....but being a pedophile apparently is more acceptable to forgive, than a person who chooses not to follow any orthodox religion.

Go figure.

It's ashame we don't follow Gods Law, then all murderers and rapist would be executed promptly.

Who is ANYONE or ANY FAITH to profess that their interpretation is the only absolutely correct interpretation?

Really...

Well isn't that interesting considering I have only seen you bash the scritures no interpret them.

Who are you addressing Feral? Are you now trying to assert that you have the infallible capacity to understand scripture? In that case, explain why exactly it says that rabbits "cheweth the cud" in the old testament. Thats a simple one. We can start there.
