Hate is of Satan, right? So isn't hating sin also of Satan?

Ah.... I see. To hate is to be more like Satan. Unless of course you hate what God hates. But how can God hate if he's only love? My brain.... what....

Satan is not hate, rather, Satan is evil. Hate is loving a lot less. Satan saw and experienced the glory of God, until pride overtook him. He was cast down from Heaven, never to be forgiven. Conversely, a sinner has never experienced the grace of God, must less seen Him, and therefore is forgivable by God.
Why not hate the sin? I hate child molesting, but not the molester. That's for God to decide. We Chrisitians surely are not more moral than the King of the Universe!

Satan is the father of lies,,,
you are suppose to hate the sin,, not the sinner,,
people still have the chance to repent..
Satan on the other hand will not ever repent of his sins...
Satan hates all that is good,,
Satan is the father of all evil..

No, because sin is part of satanic nature. Yet, one shouldn't hate anyone.

Aloha Squirrel,
Good point!

lol this is an excellent follow-up question. I didn't say that Satan = hate, so I don't have answer, but I just wanted to tell you that I liked your question.

Why hate at all, why not just disdain. Love the sinner, disdain the sin?

God loves people. I love people, I just don't like what they do. This separates the person from the sin.
