Okay if god hates sinners then we should too! Yes god is just so thats why he came to earth to die for these sinners and if he hates them then why he came!, you can say because they make mistakes (sins) that is why god punish them (the cost of the sin is death) because he is just not because he hates sinners!..And the verse was wrong in this video (songs 5-5) ., when he said at this video that if you love something then you hate something els like when you love the black american you hate slavery ..yes but i hate the thought of slavery not the people who believe in it..

No, God's hate is different with humans' hatred. That is the problem. Just like God's love is unconditional, while humans' love are conditional.
God is just, but humans are not just. On the other hands, humans are sinning and sinning even to the point like fish doesn't realize it is under the water. Now if God is Just what shall He do to humans? In addition are not all sins are consequentially an abomination to God? What is the fitting punishment for abomination to a Holy and Almighty God? Now imagine times that with billions and billions of sinners. Is it wrong for God to hate after being abominated billion times? Of course not.

Now Jesus realizes not even any creation (or any angel) can withstand such uncountable punishment that God is going to unleash to satisfy His Justice. That's when Jesus, willingly, as some brothers have posted here, come out and say: "I will demonstrate my love towards them, sinners, Father. I will bore the punishment that is due to them, Father!".

Do you see that? That is the true Gospel, where Christ becomes the propitiation for us, sinners, whom deserve the hatred and justice of God.

May God bless you in Egypt, sister Miro. I will pray for you and other brothers and sisters in Egypt.

If God truly hates sinners, then how is it that He loved us "while we were yet sinners"?
Romans 5, NASB
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [Emphasis added]
​

Whether you are Calvinist, Armenian, or something in between, that is a dichotomy you cannot resolve if God actually hates sinners. Washer doesn't resolve it either.

First of all, it is not my dichotomy or brother Paul Washer's dichotomy. It's God's dichotomy, revealed through David in Psalms.

Secondly, please see my post above to sister Miro, not as a resolution, but just the Gospel as it is. The full counsel of God's Gospel.

Thanks for commenting though, appreciate that. May God bless you.

That's reasonable to say, but it isn't reasonable to explain. Washer does not appear to understand that hate is not the antithesis of love. That is apathy, and God is anything but apathetic.

Please let us 'together' rephrase the 'title' of the tread first to 'as it is written'.

'As it is written', that;

"GOD hates sin."

Also 'as it is written and JESUS said in the Gospel', that;

"Healthy people do not need doctor/physician, but sick people do. I did not come to invite the good, but sinners."

JESUS is the only doctor/physician of the written New Covenant/Testament, who have called all 'believers', to 'abide' and 'practice' and 'bear much fruit' and their 'fruit must also abide'.

May GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you all with HIS kindness and peace, which is being 'revealed', as a reminder and a stir up of memory, to 'as it is written' and have been taught by the HOLY SPIRIT, those who continue with the HOLY BIBLE.

Copied from a previous thread of the same title:

When the word says God hates sin.....It is pointing to His integrity,His Character and nature. There is no sin in God, no darkness.

When the word says God Hates a man.....It is pointing to the righteousness and Justice of God. Esau and Jacob the classic example. Esau did not adjust to the justice and righteousness of God and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Jacob did.

It is language of accommodation for our finite minds.

=MarcR

The word used is the Hebrew 'saw nee tiy'; which means I despised, I detested, or I abhored. That is pretty strong language for an accomodation. Perhaps you might want to rethink this.

The English language is not well suited to paradox; simultaneously true conflicting statements.


The nature of sin is such that God finds sin, and those who practice sin grossly offensive!

The nature of God is such that He does not want the consequence of sin to destroy us.

God, in love, mercy, and grace; took upon Himself the consequence of our sin(s) and provided for our restoration and reconciliation.

We must choose to either accept His provision for our sin(s), on His terms; or take the consequence of sin back upon ourselves when we reject His provision.

Are you saying the book of Psalms is an apathy?

We are all sinners... Jesus loved his disciples and they were all sinners.

God sent his Only Begotten Son into a fallen world to save sinners, but God also promised to throw all unrepentant sinners who reject Christ into the Lake of Fire. So yes and no, God loves every sinner and desires we each come to repentance, but God will not tolerate those who reject Christ and willfully sin.. jmo

The only real way to know the answer to this question is to get to know God on a personal level, not just read about Him.
And before anyone thinks I'm discounting or undermining the Word...think again :)

Amen brother. In conclusion, He loves those who has been regenerated by Christ for one single reason: He sees Christ in them.
