Gods hates sin but does not hate His creation. Hell was created for the devil and his angels not for mankind. Any man going to hell goes because he will not forsake his sin. God is condemning sin and not the soul which God created. Sin is the object of condemnation not the soul. If man will not allow Christ to atone for his sin then his soul is lost because it is attached to sin.
Psalm 5
4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not dwell with you.
5 The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy those who speak lies;
the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
Verses five and six talk specifically about people, not only their sin. Does the passage mean what it seems it means?
It is a prophetic passage part of the sermon on the mount. Jesus is speaking to Israel. It is Israel who is claiming to have done great and mighty works for God. Christ knowing their hearts is telling them they are workers of lawlessness.
You can make application to individuals who falsely profess to know Christ but the context is to the nation of Israel and others who pretend to be religious like Rome and the USA.
