Is God guilty of a hate crime?

Question

Ive always heard that god hates homosexuals,..etc etc etc the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Answer 1

God is not responsible for hate crimes, we are. God does not tell us to go and throw empty beer bottles at everyone who does not follow the Scriptures, that's a personal decision people take and God is not to take the blame for them. Also, God does not hate anyone but he hates the actions some people commit, such as homosexual intercourse and murder (and hate crimes).

Answer 2

Well... before getting into the whole "ideal" of God, let me point out that simply hating someone or a lifestyle or a type of person is "not" a hate crime. Acting on that hatred in a violent way (resulting in injury or death) is.
That said... God is idealy a non-hateful force. Considering that God is above all human existance, I think it would almost be a safe bet to "assume" that God doesn't waste time on such human rantings like hate and love.
You will find that those who usually say that "God hates fags" or "God hates feminists" are those people who are a little bit on the wacky side, have some serious self esteem issues, and seem dim enough to think that they truly know how God really works. Those very people spread hatred using God as the spokesmodel... only God isn't doing the speaking and is probably finding some sort of entertainment value out of it all... think a "Soap Opera" with more violence, more fakeness, and more horrible actors!

Answer 3

First of all.... God doesn't hate anyone. He loves everyone. What he hates, and cannot be in the presence of, is sin. Homosexuality is a sin. God hates homosexuality just like any other sin. He does not hate the person engaged in homosexuality, just as he does not hate any person who is engaged in any sin.

That being said... God is not subject to the laws of man, but rather, men are subject to the laws of God. "Hate crimes" are a law of man, which God is above. He cannot be guilty of a crime committed under a law which he is not subject to.

Answer 4

First we need to determine which God we are talking about here. Are you referring to the real God, the unconditionally loving God who we are all a part of? This is the one Jesus was talking about when he said the kingdom of God is within you. The one who is our dearest friend and closest companion.

Or are we talking about the angry little judgmental God that lives on some far off cloud called heaven. The one who seems to be more concerned with our errors than he is with our successes? You know the egocentric needy little God that always wants people to worship him. The one who is always unavailable because he is only a fantasy? You need to specify if you want a real answer.

Answer 5

You always heard - from whom? What does the bible say? do you even know?

1 Corinthians 6

9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

++++++++++++
God hates no-one He just lets you know these sins will not inherit the kingdom of God - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN - well you get to inherit the kingdom of Satan - or Hell!

Answer 6

As one ask, which or what God are you referring to? Is it your God? It sure is not my God.

I do have a question for you my friend because I do want to try and understand. I do firmly believe one is entitled to have his own life style and to live life as he chooses to do it. However I wonder if it is right for one to advertise to others about their own personal life style when they may be aware that others do not enjoy seeing such advertisement. A TV set or radio one can turn of it something is heard or seen that is not pleasing to the hearer or viewer. However such is not possible in life when the one exposed is another of the humankind attempting to advertise a product for their own motives and their own personal gains.

I am old fashion in many of my views and I do believe that one who is not content with the sex they have when they were put in this world are denying their birth right just as Esau did in the Bible recordings. I am of the opinion there are only two distinct sexes which are male and female as My God did design for His purposes.

I do not object to one thinking he is of a third sex or is another sex than what is displayed in the physical unit called a body. However I would think that each should keep his thinking to himself unless ask to reveal it or to share it with others. If this not be the case then there should be a turn off button or a specific place specified for such thoughts to be displayed or revealed. This way others who do object to such can avoid the designated place and/or turn of the button provided.

Is it not a fact there is a war today in society because each of two sides wants to be in control of what is proper and what is not proper in the public. Why is that? Why can not each do what they want to do in private and keep it private and let the public domain be for the desires of all to enjoy together without the fighting or the war battling for control of public domain?

Just a thought. Have a good day and think about it. You be what you want and also be more specific about the God you choose to think about. There is a God out there who can and will clear all up for you and put all in the proper perspective. I call Him My God.

Answer 7

WELL if god hates sin and he sends the sinner to HELL to burn in eternal flame then yes god has commited a HOLLY HATE CRIME and he will get away with it because he is GOD

Answer 8

God hates the sin not the person, Hate crimes are committed because people see the person committing the sin... therefore the attack and hate is towards is the person not the sin....

Answer 9

No, No God hates the sin of homosexuaity ...not the homosexual.

You are very confused. You need to learn how to separate the two, friend.

Maybe then you won't be a God hater...

Answer 10
