He's not a lair, he is a liar. You can't say that you love God and hate other people... that's what it means.

actually again people have it wrong all these saying come from the greatest commandment which is in Mark 12 (someone listed the greatest commandment as whatsoever you do to the least of my brother, which is wrong). The greatest commandment is:
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
They are irreversibly linked by Jesus to love God is to love your neighbor, to hate your neighbor is to hate God. As all are created in his image it does not hurt Him it IS Him

Robert:13:07 "He who comith and hateth his wife and brother, but loveth his god is entitled to no more hath of thy brethern and pushisheth by the crim eof eternal solitudary in which hath comth hate for thy brother. Thaught have come to mind the loveth of god until thy loveth thy god and thy brother.
See? now it all makes sense!

God commands we love our brother as ourselves, meaning we don't love our brother how can we possibly love God, because He is the ultimate expression of love.

It's the wisdom of God. It shows us who really loves their brother too. Those who love God love their brother also.

It shows that we can't live a life of hypocrisy. If we truly love God, it will show forth in our relationships with others.

" What You do to the least of them you do to Me" the number one commandment is to love everyone as Jesus loved us,If
You hate anyone , you hurt God.

It is a way for us to discern if a person is a Child of God or not.
