Hate has a context. There is righteousness indignation. The Lord must not be confused with a hater, one who hates like the world hates, for whatever reason, a world where hate is a motivator, a driving force and, as if, means to an end, hate a way of life and conduct, rooted in love of self.
Psalms 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
There is that hatred which is just, a Godly anger which is well founded and directed, against evildoers, as righteousness necessarily implies consequences and justice against evil. There is indignation of offenses that can be horrific to us, even unregenerates with that black little heart, so what about how offensive to Holy God? These things are a matter of great indignation to Him, and we'd already be cinders in history, were it not for His very longsuffering.
The big enchilda, though, is that God is not willing that any should perish, though the time comes He will execute justice, this not the same as going to war to rip somebody off, and is not about some lust to do harm, God all about the higher precept of love. If people can't see this love proven by the Lord Jesus redeeming us from sin by His terrible suffering, we who did not love Him first, love Him at all, then there's no hope for such a fool, who can't see that God is, truly, love. He is punished for our sin, then even has to draw us to Him by His Spirit, as we're too wicked, blind and stupid, to even listen to the gospel, on our own! Somebody who has to do everything for you, while you are yet evil and hating Him every offensive day, this to save you: that's not ordinary love. Spit at and trample that love, who'd not be angry? Who'd suffer such fools forever, damaging most everything they touch? Certainly not a Holy God. You can thank Him that He doesn't wink at evil, because, if He did, you could trust nothing.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
