Oh, I'm sure you have a scripture that tells you it's okay to "hate" certain ones....be sure and post it, cause I can't find it..You're the one that doesn't have a clue what that means. Being forgiven doesn't give you license to continue sinning and continue "hating". You have so much hate in your heart, there's hardly room for the Holy Spirit to work in there....think about that instead of acting so "holier than thou" - you have no idea what being forgiven means.
I only have hate for people that are violently exploiting innocent and/or defenseless people, the rich that twist the system to their favor and ideologues that lie, lie, lie and lie more for the hell of it.
Proverbs 6
16 There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel said to Saul, I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.
4 So Saul summoned the men and mustered them at Telaimtwo hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand from Judah. 5 Saul went to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the ravine. 6 Then he said to the Kenites, Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
7 Then Saul attacked the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, near the eastern border of Egypt. 8 He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. 9 But Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambseverything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions. Samuel was angry, and he cried out to the Lord all that night.
12 Early in the morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul, but he was told, Saul has gone to Carmel. There he has set up a monument in his own honor and has turned and gone on down to Gilgal.
13 When Samuel reached him, Saul said, The Lord bless you! I have carried out the Lords instructions.
14 But Samuel said, What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?
15 Saul answered, The soldiers brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best of the sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God, but we totally destroyed the rest.
16 Enough! Samuel said to Saul. Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.
Tell me, Saul replied.
17 Samuel said, Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel. 18 And he sent you on a mission, saying, Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out. 19 Why did you not obey the Lord? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the Lord?
Genesis 19
23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrahfrom the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the citiesand also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lots wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.
Genesis 6
11 Now the earth was corrupt in Gods sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
31.Psalm 5:5
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
32.Psalm 11:5
The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
34.Psalm 31:6
I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the Lord.
38.Psalm 45:7
You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.
It is funny how liberals are so fond of attributing things to God that are simply not true.
God hates with a white hot hate of wickedness and evil and this is because He is Holy and cannot tolerate evil. He hates evil and it is often stated in the Bible.
Now Jesus encourages us to focus on the sin and forgive the sinner, but even He had limits and drove the moneychangers out of the temple by force and repeatedly damned the scribes, Pharisees and lawyers.
You are naïve if you think God does not hate.
