I've asked myself that question.
I know there are many verses in the Bible about tares (a weed), growing in with the wheat and when the end comes, the tares will be bundled and thrown into the fire. But are the tares bad people from the beginning or are they people that strayed or never came to God? Or are they all non-Hebrew in origin?
It seems to me I also read in the Bible somewhere that God deliberately made "bad" people as a contrast to His chosen ones. That they actually have no choice in the matter.
If anyone knows more about that, I would be interested to hear it.

God does not hate anyone. Some people hate other people.

Where in the scriptures have you ever read that God hates a person? He hates the sinful things that people do - because He is holy and cannot adhere to sin!

God hates no-one, for God is not merely loving, He is actually love itself. And because He loves every person he has created, He therefore hates that which damages those He loves, namely sin.

I ask the same question.
Every time a Jehova's Witness tries to give me a Watchtower, I think about how much God hates them for following a false religion.

God created us (human beings) in his own image. Therefore, he doesn't hate anyone of us. He dislikes our decisions but gives us alternative ways to resolve mistakes. He loves even the ones who dispise him. We have mis-interpreted the bible in many different ways to adjust to what we think is right.

No one is created "hateful" or worthy of hate. People pick up this trait as they become selfish and uncaring about others.

HATE is something God cannot do because He is perfect, without sin.
