Why do christians say that god is love and doesn't hate but in the bible it says god hates sin!?

Question

Does this god hate or not?

Answer 1

Then why does a god who loves the sinner perform such atrocious acts against them. You can't love and yet destroy someone...
------------------
Genesis

Because God liked Abel's animal sacrifice more than Cain's vegetables, Cain kills his brother Abel in a fit of religious jealousy. 4:8

God is angry. He decides to destroy all humans, beasts, creeping things, fowls, and "all flesh wherein there is breath of life." He plans to drown them all. 6:7, 17

God repeats his intention to kill "every living substance ... from off the face of the earth." But why does God kill all the innocent animals? What had they done to deserve his wrath? It seems God never gets his fill of tormenting animals. 7:4

God drowns everything that breathes air. From newborn babies to koala bears -- all creatures great and small, the Lord God drowned them all. 7:21-23

God tells Abram to kill some animals for him. The needless slaughter makes God feel better. 15:9-10

Lot refuses to give up his angels to the perverted mob, offering his two "virgin daughters" instead. He tells the bunch of angel rapers to "do unto them [his daughters] as is good in your eyes." This is the same man that is called "just" and "righteous" in 2 Peter 2:7-8. 19:7-8

God kills everyone (men, women, children, infants, newborns) in Sodom and Gomorrah by raining "fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven." Well, almost everyone -- he spares the "just and righteous" Lot and his family. 19:24

Lot's nameless wife looks back, and God turns her into a pillar of salt. 19:26

Have you seen enough yet?

Answer 2

Bible also says God is a God of wrath as well. Yes God hates sin. Thats why when Jesus was on the cross, God had to turn his back. God cannot look upon sin. Most want to think God is all love, but that isn't all God is about. God chastens those he loves.

Answer 3

You got it right. God hates certain things. Doubt is one of them. He also considers what Esau did. That is; he treated the things of God cheaply.

Some Christians are taught to look at God through the views of certain pastors, Biblically and historically inaccurate. A 'fluffy' God.

And then the message of repentance kicks in without a deep thought to be seen!

God loves those who He calls and who responds to His message; those He chooses.

But that message is lost in a people pleasing message. I think that some pastors see a swelling in the coffers when they preach like that.

So God is neither all love to everything, nor hateful and full of judgement for all things.

I wish that the Christians would finally get it right.

You saw it, I see it, but I hope that the Christian people wake up! I get tired of their lack of knowledge.

By the way, I am a Christian, so it irks me too! ( ;

Answer 4

It doesn't say God hates sin. It says sin separates us from God. The wages of sin is death. Not a physical death, but a spiritual death. Sin separates us from God. This is why he sent his son to die in our place, so by accepting him as our savior we may be saved from an eternity of suffering, and separation from God.

Answer 5

because of the fact committing a sin isn't almost on a similar point as "wickedness." all individuals are sinners, yet willfully descending into wickedness -- that's repetitive, planned, important-league sinning as in actuality a existence type determination, oftentimes regarding the willful and planned harming of others -- is amazingly yet another element. .

Answer 6

"God is love and doesn't hate" means that He doesn't hate you, or me, or anyone else.

But He does hate sin -- by "hate," it means that He greatly disapproves of sin. Which is a different sort of "hate" from that which would be felt toward a human.

Answer 7

God despises the action, not His creation. Our own free will and choice can be one that exalts and worships God or it can be an act that He despises, but He allows us the free will to choose. God is love - we show this love by loving others.

Answer 8

Loving a person necessarily includes hating that which would harm or destroy the the one you love.

Answer 9

I CANNOT ANSWER THE 1st QUESTION CAUSE IT IS RELATED TO OUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS AND I DONT WANT TO OFFEND THEM IN ANYWAY BUT YOUR 2nd QUESTION IF GOD HATE OR NOT - POSITIVELY, HE DOES HATE - AS FAR I UNDERSTAND GOD HATES INJUSTICE TOWARDS HIS CREATION.
GOD KNOWS BEST.

Answer 10

God doesn't hate his creation, but He does hate what is killing his creation (sin).
