Is there any situation in which it's okay to truly hate someone?

Example: Let's say a man kidnapped and raped your daughter or son. Do you feel justified in hating him?

It's never ok to hate anyone, we can hate their deeds. There is a difference. I can't think of anyone I hate, there are people that I like more than others and even some of those do things I hate.
God loved us when we were unloveable, we were indeed an enemy of God. He gave Jesus Christ to prove His love.
We are worth a Son to God

Okay? Okay to whom? What does okay have to do with it? When you feel hate, it's usually for a reason, and that reason is usually fear-based. Whether or not your hate is justified, you still feel it. It's never either 'okay' or NOT 'okay', it simply is. YOUR problem has to be in analyzing WHY you feel hate for a person and whether that hate has an actual rational basis, a 'reason', or if instead it's a purely emotional reaction based on selfish impulses. ALWAYS question why you feel a certain way whether that feeling is love, hate, jealousy, anger etc.

To hate someone is an option. I would prefer
to deal with or let pass a given situation so as
not to carry a heavy load (hatred) for too long.

In truth NO!
Always try to separate the person from the sin!
Hate the act!
but keep in mind that those that practice the act CAN change!
I hate Queers! I do not hate one (an individual) that is practicing being a Queer, he may change some day! I just hope he practices far from me!

you can do, say anything to me and I don't care but don't you ever hurt any person I care about or I'm going to try to see you are punished to the full extent of the laws rules and mores of the Culture and Society in which I live. there is a difference between dislike, hatred and justice. and yes I think mortals will hate others who harm themselves or those they truly care about as this is human nature.

I have been in situations where i thought i hated someone, for doing something cruel to me, but when i started reading the Bible, that changed me and my outlook on that now is, when you retaliate against someone, that has done you wrong, in God's eye's, you're no better than them and you block blessing's, God has for you. I will let God, take care of the wicked.

It is OK to hate evil and sin in ourselves and in others. There would be no time for war if each of us would eliminate the sin in our own life.

According to the Bible the word hate means : To hotly pursue someone. We can be righteously indignant. But we are not to go after someone.

NO, UH-UH NEVER!!!!! Even though you despise people that you want to hate them you shouldn't. think of this way, have you done or thought things bad enough that you thought God should hate you? And yet He still loved you and appreciated you and even better HE FORGAVE YOU!!!! Then you should treat everyone else the exact same way.
