How come God hates everyone who doesn't conform to his rules? I thought God was supposed to be loving and understanding. Am I wrong thinking this way

God loves everyone no matter what. Look at the verses below.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

1 John 4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."

Some day someone may come up to you and say "God does not love everyone." After they say that to you they might show you these verses.

Leviticus 20:23 "You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them."

Psalm 5:5 "The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong."

Proverbs 6:16 "There are six things the LORD hates, Proverbs 6:19 "a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
seven that are detestable to him: "

Malachi 1:3 "And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness."

Romans 9:13 "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."


Man has a body, soul, and spirit. The body is the sinful flesh, the soul is our will, and the spirit is the part that God created in His own image. So I bring this back to my point, in the verses above God did not hate the person he created but hated the part of them (probably the body) that was sinful. For an example: a man can hate his own hand but does not hate himself.

Another way some may put it is that you can hate someone yet still love them. For an example: a man may hate drugs and is trying to get off drugs, but he also loves them for the effect. Another example is: a man may hate his brother's attitude, but he does not hate his brother even though his brother's attitude is part of his brother at that time.

God hates sin and can't allow it.

Imagine God is a father of a household with lots of children. He loves all his children. Some, maybe all of them, disobey him openly and it leaves the house in ruins all the time. God has 3 choices:

1 Let them do their own thing 'till it ruins the house and anyone else there.
2 Kick them all out so He can maintain order in His house.
3 Let them know they can turn away from being disobedient and that if they do, He'll forgive them.

So, God chooses number 3. But this requires the children to repent. If they don't, well, he may have to kick them out of the house or risk everything, especially morals.

That's my thoughts.

God doesn't hate people who don't conform to his rules. CHURCH GROUPS hate people who don't conform to THEIR rules, which are usually far removed from God's. But, God is not loving and understanding, god is jealous and vindictive, and has a really sick sense of humour. Don't believe the humour part,?read "job."

God does love everyone. Unfortunately, some people who worship him become so infatuated that they can no longer reason and people who don't have the same views as them are considered inferior.

And yes, that is contradictory to what God tries to teach but try telling that to someone who can't think for themselves. You'll get more out of having a conversation with a brick wall.

yeah i know what you're saying

but think of it this way: God is good. God is the epitome of what is good and right. God created the world and is trying to teach us how to be good and right in the same way. When we turn our backs on God, or think that we can do it our way, even though we stink at it, that is being disrespectful. Think about if your girlfriend cheated on you - would you be wrong in not liking that she didn't conform to the rules of the relationship? no. you would be the one who did what was right. It's the same with our relationship with God.

His rules are for the best, when it comes to better living. God is a being who is far beyond our ablilities to understand, that probably also warrents some reverence.

At best, try to imagine God before time, light or matter was created. The non existance of these things hampered God in no way. He created them to house us.

Because God is the boogeyman. Just a tool to scare and control us. When we grow up, we are supposed to realize the boogeyman/god doesn't exist. But, TOO many people never grow up and have created this fanatical culture of hate pretending to be good people and scare the masses with a mythical being that judges you.

FIGHT THE POWER. TOPPLE THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES!

God doesn't hate anyone. He loves everyone and wants to see us all follow the rules. But nobody follows them all the time and that's why we have FORGIVENESS!

God doesn't hate nobody he feels hurt knowing that people reject his name and don't want to believe in him we have a chance now to repent and change our bad ways because the the day of judgment is near so we need to act now,but God knows who has love and who don't .everyone will be judge according to our own actions.so whoever is loving and kind will get that in return and who is mean and hateful will get treated that way also.at least that's how i feel about it.

God isn't hate, He is love.


That's WHY He wants you to follow the "rules".
