Does your god have the ability to hate?

Question

( simple questions ftw )

Answer 1

no in so far as it is unreasonable

Answer 2

God does not (word that i did not say "can't") hate anybody. God can and does hate the evil acts that human beings and the demons (who're fallen angels created by using God) do. We as Christians are exhorted to "hate the sin, yet love the sinner." besides the fact that that distinctive word isn't interior the Bible, there are verses to help the belief. Romans 12:9 - enable love be with out hypocrisy. Abhor what's evil. carry to what's sweet. Proverbs 6:sixteen-19 - God hates six issues; seven are to Him an abomination (some thing strongly detested). different passages checklist dozens of alternative issues God hates (abominations). Ecclesiastes 3:8 says that there is "a time to love and a time to hate." verify the internet internet site below for an spectacular and thorough discourse on the subject.

Answer 3

The Scripture that lists seven things that God hates.
That passage is Proverbs 6:16-19.
Proverbs 6: (16) These six [things] Jehovah hates; yea, seven [are] hateful to his soul; (17) a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, (18) a heart that plots evil plans, feet hurrying to run to mischief, (19) a false witness who breathes lies, and he who causes strife among brothers.

Answer 4

I'm not sure "hate" is the correct word. It may be a bit too anthropomorphic, but lets let that slide for now.

Let's assume that you were a creator, you make a very beautiful world, not just beautiful in how it works, but in how well it all works together, how harmonious it is, how just it is, how delicate it is, how intricate.

Now lets say something, part of the creation has free will. This would be a very beautiful and intricate creation in and of itself, a creature free to do right or do wrong, do be inspired by the beauty or wish to destroy it.

This free wheeling creation decides to do the wrong thing, which is basically to destroy this harmony, this beauty, this intricate and delicate fragility. It does it for a reason of course, and this reason cannot be considered good either, as being of creation it should see and feel deeply the value of all creation , the harmony of the spheres pulsing through its veins, but something else moves it to do the wrong thing, to damage, to destroy.

Ok. So you've created this creation, what would you think of this destroyer? Let's start small. You create a wonderful sculpture and some person, for no reason that is good simply slashes it, destroys it. He doesn't destroy it to warm himself from the ashes of it, he doesn't do it to save the remaining oxygen for himself and his tribe stuck in a cave, he doesn't do it because he cares about you, or any of the other creation. Well, maybe he does it for attention, maybe, but nonetheless he clearly knows it is destruction of fellow creation, creation that is useful to others and a testament to that harmony.

Would you hate him? That's not really the right question. You see it gets worse. It's not a sculpture or work of art, it's more. It's something critical to the well-being of all creation. He damages that unity of all things, he damages trust each creation has in another, he defies his own inner being and discards it as nothing gutting out a part of himself even as he destroys. This is the original defiler. What he does is reverse all that is good and perfect, he corrupts the good, destroys the zest for life, replaces hope with despair, he tries to end all, sooner or later.

Keeping in mind our original assumption, that you are the creator , that it is totally your creation, that you even created this being with the greatest gift of all, free will , the ability to choose to really love creation and your creator or not ... and he denies it and then proceeds to destroy it .... you would feel a righteous wrath. You feel feel angry, you might feel the need to correct the problem, police the issue, combat the plague. You'd hate the action and the results, but would you hate what you created?

I think "hate" is the wrong term. You'd hate the actions and the corrupted mindset, you 'd hate the results, you'd know they are wrong, worthless, useless, against everything good under the sun. The lost time and lost effort, it would overwhelm you. Yet, you'd still love what you had tried to do, create something free enough to willingly understand, accept, and love this creation and you the creator for what you really are.

Anyway, too long an answer. A god if omniscient and immortal and creator knows all. Wrong is something he hates. It is against his very being, and sin which is the willing intent to do wrong, that is an abomination, it surely must be hated. But to hate that which you created so that it could choose to either love or hate, not just be a robot that never feels, never sees the beauty, never knows a single moment of warmth or inspiration -- no you could never fully hate that.

You might still have to destroy it, or change it on the day of reckoning so that it could no longer remember to call itself by its own name -- but you would never hate it, never destroy it out of hate. You might destroy the defiler in order to save the rest of creation, but you'd only do so out of love, out of justice, out of the need to allow others who chose to love to live to see a better day.

Answer 5

God has the ability to hate sin.

Answer 6

First, there is only ONE GOD!
God does not hate People. God does however hate actions. The scriptures name a few: lying tongue, homosexuality, gossip and backbiting, adultery, bestiality are some I can recall quickly. remember that God DOES NOT hate the person committing these acts - ONLY the act itself God dislikes.

Answer 7

hate man, no. hate lawlessness, yes.

What does it mean to hate? In God’s Word, “hate” is used in three distinct ways. There is the hatred motivated by malice and that seeks to harm its object. Christians must avoid this kind of hatred. It is the kind that prompted Cain to kill his righteous brother Abel. (1 John 3:12) This is also the kind of hatred that the religious leaders had for Jesus Christ.—Matthew 26:3, 4.

Further, the word “hate” is used in the Scriptures in the sense of loving less. For example, Jesus said: “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:26) Clearly, Jesus simply meant loving these less than we love him. Jacob ‘hated Leah,’ but he actually loved her less than he did Rachel.—Genesis 29:30, 31.

Then there is the meaning of the word “hate” with which we are especially concerned here. It has the thought of having such an intense feeling of dislike for or strong aversion to someone or something that we avoid having anything to do with such a person or thing. In Psalm 139 this is spoken of as “a complete hatred.” There David said: “Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you, O Jehovah, and do I not feel a loathing for those revolting against you? With a complete hatred I do hate them. They have become to me real enemies.”—Psalm 139:21, 22.
