Those living in sin hate and are hated the Bible says... After coming to the Lord, though it may seem very dark in the beginning, that (hatred) falls away...Though you still have strong dislikes and aversions to certain things...for example, at first sins should rightly be seen as disgusting and sinners likewise avoided as they can taint the soul in the beginning...but when the soul has matured in Christ, those people no longer have the same ability to lead the heart/mind/soul astray (sins are no longer a factor)...So, at first it feels almost like you hate people that curse, or are course, or vulgar, or liars, et cetera...but then you come to notice how much you hae to work on yourself in certain areas and you no longer see them, except to love them...Christ' love becomes all in all...And you can be around people whose lives are vulgar and witness to them where they are at...
Hatred just brings darkness/blindless; love gives light.
Thats at least how I see it right now
God bless

yes we all experiance hate, even the cind that doesnt go away, even God says he hates that which is evil, there is a time to love and a time to hate, and there is a hate which is aposed to evil and a hate which is evil in itself, hate never feels good and always shows that there is something wrong in one way or another even if it cant be pin pointed, we have a neighbour who lives nextdoor and has a number of times had a go at us she even had men come over when drunk bashing on our door they vandelised my car and for a whyle have been throwing things at our house now and then, my mum would always get so upset when ever she saw them and she would tell me how she hated them so much because all the time she saw them she got a deep feeling of hatred. serprisingly she told me the other day she wrote a letter and put it in the neighbours letter box, I was serprised and a little unsettled because I thought she must of writen some thing which will make our neighbours mad and abuse us even more, when I asked what she wrote she said she just wrote how she doesnt know how we might of offended them but what ever it was she wants to say sorry and hopes that they can find it in there hearts to forgive us and that she just wants to live peicefully next door to each other. even though I wasnt verry happy with hearing the news my mum said, "I am not upset or woried about anything because before I hated them and it was making me so mad that I hated them but Jesus said that is how we should act towards our enemies and now I have a piece and love in my heart because I wrote the letter" joking I said "well at least next time they abuse you, you can put up with it with a good concience haha" it was funny though three days latter the women from next door came around and thanked my mum it was as though she had been given the best gift that anybody had ever given her. it reminds me of the words in the bible; Love covers over a multitude of sins, and were sin abounds grace abounds much more.

Yeah the only one who is allowed to be in the process of hating is God.
If you're in the process of hating someone because they sin, then it indicates you've lost touch with how broken, frail and utterly fallen you are or were.
I'm sure none of us want 'hate' from anyone when we sin, so we shouldn't give it to others that sin.
Jesus is a great high priest who sympathizes with us in our weaknesses and human frailty. We're to be like Jesus, so instead of hating, try a little sympathizing and remember you're just as frail and broken as the next person.
