What about the passages that say that God hates the sinner himself? Such as:
The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. - Psalm 5:5
The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates. - Psalm 11:5

Father K, I didn't say that I believed that God "loves the sinner" (the Bible says no such thing). The point of the question is to find out how those who believe such thing can reconcile Scripture that contradicts their presupposition.

So you got that scripture now where is the scripture that says your other point , that God loves everyone. There is no contradiction if you can't prove both sides.

Well, from what I've read, God might hate in a different way than we can.
On the first link "ctrl + f" and enter in wicked to go to question 51. "Does God really hate the wicked"
and on the 2nd link from the Catholic/Christian Apologist Jimmy
Akin. Hope that helps. God bless.

God loves everyone right now because we aren't under judgement this is the time to be reconciled with God but afterwards his wrath and hate will be poured out on sinners who rejected him at the second coming.

You notice the second verse "the one who loves violence." This indicates that the ppl David is talking about are those who have decided to do evil. They made a decision to reject God and His will. Those ppl, God won't have any mercy on. If you've decided to do evil, then you'll go to hell. I think you can change that decision, but after a period of time, your own sin corrupts you to the point that you won't change it.
God hates those who have decided to do evil. This is a different case than what is usually encountered. It's talking about someone who's decided to oppose God and isn't changing that decision.

You make the typical Protestant mistake of "proof texting"
And as long as we're on the subject here, "Five Solas" - since one of your "Solas" is "Sola Scriptura" - why on earth are you beginning a spiritual premise ("God hates the sin and loves the sinner") with a statement that is not found in the Scriptures?
Hmmmmmm?
"Sola"....sola when convenient???

Good question- not sure of the answer except God hates all sin.

Another contradiction?
See you can extract all the quotes you want, but the Bible is actually two.......the old testament and the new. There was an old covenant before Jesus and when Jesus was born and raised again . . . for mankind . . .. .the new covenant.

Just one of the hundreds of demonstrations of why the Bible defeats itself. Good find.
