Proverbs 6:16-19 "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."

first of all, God loves all people. As a believer I love God and all people. If God hated sinners, he would not have sent His Son to die for the whole world. Christians are to love others just like Christ does. Sometimes we do not do a very good job of it though. Forgive us for that. If Jesus did not love sinners, he would not have died for me, because I am just as much a sinner as any one else.

GOD is just. So are we.
Why do we lock up murderers when they are the same as you and me?
Why do we lock up child molesters?
Are they not the same?
To make a long answer really short. If someone does not wish to hang out with GOD while he is here on earth then why would he be welcome with GOD for eternity?

God has sent you His Word, and you have not understood it. If you pay attention to God's messengers your measure of faith that has been given you could save your eternal life. His word says: God is Love, He does not hate you, instead, He hates what you do. (your deeds) because they are evil. That is the reason the Son of God, Jesus, came to earth. To save us from our evil deeds and bring us back to God, clean, holy, worthy. So we could be the way we were before rebelling against God and going in our own wicked ways.
God Loves you, my friend, He came down in the form of Jesus Christ to die for you, He does not want you to die eternally. (that means to eternally be separated from His presence) Where you will burn with the desire to find Him but will no longer have the opportunity to do so.
Seek God Now,

That's a great question!
There's a song in the old musical movie "South Pacific" that deals with this. Part of it goes.....
"You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people who's eyes are oddly made,
And people who's skin is a different shade.
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late!
Before you are six, or seven, or eight!
To hate all the people your relatives hate.
You've got to be carefully taught."
Doesn't that just about sum it all up? That's what spreads prejudice.

Great question, guess it is because people justify thier dislike of others by claiming that God doesn't like it. If people followed the first two commandments...they would be following all of them.

Because a lot of people try to make God in their image instead letting God make them in His image. They try to force God into their preconceived ideas of what He should be.
God is love, and hatred isn't of God.
