Admin	no God's not mixed up you are !! -- dispelling of a christian cliche Posted : 18 Apr, 2021 09:08 AM You're probably heard of the Christian cliche we are to hate the sin but love the sinner but let's find out if that's true or not shall we? Does God hate people or love them? The Bible tells us that God both loves people and hates people. Whether we like it or not the Scriptures teach that God hates those who love violence and love evil. God is too holy to approve of those who love what is opposite to God’s character and nature. But on the other hand, generically speaking, God loves the whole world (John 3:16). Also, he lets the sun shine on the good and the bad. He let’s the rain fall upon all people. So, in this context, he loves all (Matthew 5:43-48) God loves people John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” Rom. 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 1 John 4:7-8,16, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love…16 God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God… “ God hates people 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.” Proverbs 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.” God both loves and hates. His nature is love (1 John 4:8), but He is also righteous (Psalm 7:9) and holy (Isaiah 6:3). The very fact that He does not incinerate all of humanity for its sin against Him is due to his loving-kindness. God doesn’t owe anyone anything. We are sinners and as such, we have offended Him because we have broken His laws – and His laws are a reflection of His character. But, God in His great mercy, sent His Son to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life by receiving Christ as Savior (John 1:12; Rom. 10:9-10). Does God hate? Yes. Does God love? Yes. This is not a contradiction this is simply the truth Post Reply

Psalm 78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. But, all who are joined to the evil that exists, then learn when God takes back His great power to reign, they no longer do.. Job 21:29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, 30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. 31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? 32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. Revelation 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. Psalm 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
