Psalms 11:5: “The LORD tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.”
Proverbs 6:16-19: “ These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.”
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Clearly in these scriptures God hates the behavior and the perpetrator. Satan is a liar and the creator of the very concept of a lie. God does not love satan. It is remiss to compare Christian’s human enemies with eternal spirit beings. Equally important, it is remiss to think that delayed judgment of the fallen-ones comprises God's love for them.

If Christ lives within you, then YES YOU CAN! I'm not asking us to float on water or to heal blind people. What I'm saying is can we show our leaders who govern us that we do not want to subscribe to this system any longer and that we would rather work to help all who are dying now? You'd be surprised at how far this will go!
You cannot compare yourself to God. We are to humbly listen to God.
When we decide God is so loving He will not judge sin, we create a world like we have. A world where I couldn't leave a grocery store because children were shooting each other outside the store. Where the minister's teen age daughter is pregnant. Where the 12 year old down the street tells me she is sexually active. They cannot live eternally, God wants them to. We don't help them live when we cover sin with love, it is NOT compassion and love to do that.

Good question. Did God really hate Esau?
(Romans 9:13-15)
13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[e]14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!15 For he says to Moses,“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f]
If he did hate Esau, then I guess he could hate Satan too. But some people tell me I'm reading that wrong.
It's strange that I don't recall a scripture offhand about it saying how God feels about Satan.

He did judge sin. We die. Now if you cannot punish your child for what they might have done for maybe a few years out of maybe 70 good years on this earth, why expect a God who's thought are not our thoughts to do just that?
I say again that this is the fire prepared. We are in it now as God is a consuming fire.

God loves the sinner but not the sin. I believe that at one stage God loved Satan, but through Satan's rebelliousness in trying to be greater than God himself, God threw Satan out and made him the ruler of this earth for now, and the ruler of Hell. God is a God of love, but He is also a jealous God, and he will not have any other God before Him.

At least we know this, that whether God loves Satan or not, God did not spare Satan nor the angels in Heaven who wanted to follow Satan, and He cast them out. So if God did not spare the angels in Heaven, how much more are we to escape? God is a just God, and He will not tolerate disobedience. God will hold judgement on us as well.
God is a God of Love beyond Human Comprehension. And wants to impart to us all His type of Love:
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
[h=3]1 Corinthians 13:4-13[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, [SUP]5 [/SUP]doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; [SUP]6 [/SUP]rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; [SUP]7 [/SUP]beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [SUP]10 [/SUP]But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. [SUP]13 [/SUP]And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Love ( Charity) is what Goes on forever, and God is Love, so I would have to say yes God loves all including Satan.
