God hates people who delight in their wickedness and wicked people hate God?

Question

ISn't it true, that unles you repent, God is in enmity with that person, unless of course He accepts Christ's atoning blood.

Then where do you think did Charismatics ever get the notion that, "God hates the sin , but loves the sinner"?

I mean unrepentants cannot receive grace unless they resist God's sacrifice....

Answer 1

There comes a knock at your heart where you have to either accept God for who He is or chance going on without Him.
He is merciful, but sometimes full of vengence. God works in mysterious ways. Who can say what God thinks?

Answer 2

If the statement you state in your question is true, God hates those who DELIGHT in their wickedness. He is asking for repentance from us. All humans sin, and God hates only those who enjoy the fact that the sinned (not necessarily the sin itself).

Example, I eat seventy four blueberry pies. I love them pies. But then I decided, "Wow. I'm disgusting. I should never do that again. I hope God forgives me." So God would not hate me. But if I said, "That was sweet. I am awesome. I should do that again, all the time, 24/7, and piss on God if He doesn't like it," I think God wouldn't be too thrilled.

So the idea of forgiveness plays a role in this statement. You can only recieve forgiveness of sins if you repent from them. And only the true evil-doers would refuse that.

Of course, the lack of a God plays a hefty role in the clarity of such a statement as well.

Answer 3

John 3:17 "God sent His Son into the world not the condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."

The wicked receive grace just as the righteous do, I mean they receive God's mercy just as well. I have always heard that if you wake up each morning, you are receive God's grace and mercy. The wicked wake up just as the righteous do.

God DOES hate the sin, but He loves the sinner more and He proved that by sending Jesus, His only Son, into the world to take on the sins of mankind, die on the cross, and resurrect from the grave.

Read the book, "The Divine Revelation of Hell," one thing that Mary K. Baxter caught my attention was that Jesus told her that to each person in Hell, His Spirit would constantly come to that person and plea for them to turn from their wicked ways, even the most vile sinners on earth, the withches, warlocks, etc. Jesus loves them that much that He pleas with mankind.

It is true that once you become a child of God that sentence to death or curse on your life is lifted, but Satan will do everything in his power to steal salvation away from you. Jesus told of that in the parable on the four different seeds.

Answer 4

God does not hate people. God loves all of mankind. That is the reason that He sent His Son to die on the cross so that ALL can come to Him.

Since God is a Holy God, no sin can be present before Him, therefore, the death of Christ was needed to remove the stain of sin from the lives of those God loves so much.

God never sent anyone to Hell. But what He did do was give mankind the opportunity to choose for themselves. And because He is a Holy God, He cannot break the rules and MAKE someone accept His Son as Lord and Savior of their life.

The Bible tells us that there are no tears in Heaven, but how it must grieve the heart of God, when there are those who refuse to receive His great love.

I do so hope that this has helped you to understand. God bless.

Answer 5

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:6-8).

Psalm 5:5 says that God hates “all workers of iniquity.” Proverbs 6:18-19 says that God hates “a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.” Is it true that God hates sinners and their sin?

Any person who has read the Bible understands that one of its greatest themes is love. The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:8). It also explains that God showed His love to us while we were still sinners [see verse above.]

How, then, can one reconcile the verses that seem to suggest that God hates sinners, but loves them at the same time? One of the most plausible solutions is that the Bible writers are using a figure of speech called metonymy when they write that God hates sinners. Metonymy is defined as: “A figure by which one name or noun is used instead of another, to which it stands in a certain relation” (Bullinger, 1898, p. 538). Bullinger further explains that metonymy can be “of cause,” when the person acting can be put in place of the thing that is done (p. 539). For instance, in Luke 16:29, the text says: “They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.” In reality, they did not have “Moses” or the “prophets,” but they did have their writings. The name Moses is a metonymy that stood for his writings, since he was the cause of the writings. In modern times, that would be like saying, “I hate Shakespeare.” Would the person who said that mean that he hated Shakespeare’s personality? No. We understand he would be saying he does not like the writings of Shakespeare, with no comment on the playwright’s personality.

If we apply that same figure of speech to the passages about God “hating sinners,” we can see that the sinner is put in place of the sin. Thus, when God says He hates “a false witness who speaks lies,” if metonymy is being used, then God hates the lies, and the one who is doing the lying (the cause) is put in place of the lies (the effect). It is interesting to see how clear this feature can be in other contexts. For instance, Proverbs 6:17 says that God hates “a lying tongue.” Does that mean that God hates a physical tongue, made of muscle and body tissue? No. It means God hates the sin that a tongue can perform. In the same context, we learn that God hates “feet that are swift in running to evil.” Again, does that mean that God hates physical feet? No. It simply means that God hates the sin that those feet can perform. It is interesting that while few, if any, would suggest that God hates physical tongues or actual feet, they would insist that God hates actual sinners and not the sin done by them.

When studying the Bible, it is very important to keep in mind that the Bible writers often used figures of speech. When we look at the idea that God hates sin, but loves sinners, the figure of speech known as metonymy clears up the confusion. Just as God does not hate physical feet or tongues, He does not hate sinners. These nouns are put in the place of the things they cause—sin.

Answer 6

No, I have found that many of those who imagine themselves as being saved to be more evil toward others as if their sins against others are forgiven while the others who sin are not. This behavior could be true only if sin were more important than loving others which isn't what Jesus teaches. So thinking Jesus died for any sin is anti-love and is following false teachers making any who profess that Gods blood saves them to be inherantly evil, not the unbelievers. Read what Jesus teaches, not what the Anti-Christ wants you to think he meant.

Answer 7

first I mean this kindly you should learn to speak better english before posting a question like this. God is love. the only thing that God can hate is his what he did not create and that is sin and the one who created it(satan). when satan chose to no longer be part of Gods plan he/she created sin, my second point is were your language comes to play. the ability to ask for forgiveness is grace in its self. an un gracefull or unmerciful God would have done away with choice all together and made us love Him/Her. basicaly tht is rape. and if God did not love the sinner then thats what he'd do

Answer 8

God is only real in what i understand as a spiritual guidance. I strongly believe that evolution is reality.

It was the ancestors before us who knew little about the universe they harbored that they created these superstition and spiritual figures to guide them. Time passes by and generation after generations pass on the stories to a point where their descendants life revolved around these myths, or stories if you will. Gradually it became apart of the human nature; thus you are living in a false reality. Even thought you are happy, you do good deeds. You are living in a lie. But i guess its ok. Some lies will actually do you good than bad.

Answer 9

This may be semantical, but God loves the Sinner. Its the sin God hates.
I Cr 13;8a, Love never fails!!!!!

Answer 10

True, but we as human beings are all sinful, and due to this we have no place to judge others. Recall the time Jesus saved an adulturous woman from stoning. We as human beings should show compassion for everyone, but we shouldn't accept their sins. Don't judge lest you be judged.
