" There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."
Proverbs 6:16-19

There is only one thing that God hates: sin. Sin are acts that God prohibits because they distance the human spirit from His Spirit. Sin is also in the nature of all people and something that only God can cleanse from us. Because sin is such a blot on the human soul and keeps man distanced from having a loving, intimate relationship with God, God hates it.
Imagine sin this way and perhaps you can understand why God hates it. You are a father or mother and you love you child. You have asked that you child not do certain things because they will harm him or her. When your child runs out into the street and almost gets hit by a car, you hate that. You do not hate your child, you hate the act that might have caused harm to your child. While God's focus is on acts that bring down the spirit and not necessarily the body, you can see how God must view sinful acts.
God does not hate people. People who sin may be doing acts that God hates, but God would not send His Son to die for those whom He hates.

God hates only one thing.. SIN. All things that are listed as Sin God hates. HE loves the sinner but hates the sin and thats what He calls us to do also.
If one studies the Bible they will see that God is pretty clear about what sin is and it will seperate one from God tilll they truly come back to Him and repent. ITs serious busienss to sin and it leads to curse, hell and death.
So we must KNow God and His Holy word to know what He says to do and not do> He only has rules to protect us, and doesnt take anything away that is good for us.
How can we obey if we dont even know what His word says?
No other way folks. GEt a Bible, study and pray, and it will cme to you. Just ask God. Seek and ye shall find and it all shall be added unto you.

There are six things the Lord hates - no, seven things He detests:
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness that pours out lies, and a person who sows discord in a family.

Read the book of Matthew in the King James version of the bible. Pray with an honest heart. God will teach you.

11 "The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?" says the LORD.
"I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;
I have no pleasure
in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!
Your incense is detestable to me.
New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—
I cannot bear your evil assemblies.
14 Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts
my soul hates.
They have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I will hide my eyes from you;
even if you offer many prayers,
I will not listen.
Your hands are full of blood;
Isaiah 1:11-15

I think God hates when people lie.
I think God hates prejudice.
I think God hates an unforgiven heart.
I think God hates Divorce.
I think God hates when we take his name in vain.
I think God hates it when we cover up our sins.
I think God hates it when we are mean to others.
I think God hates war and war of words.
May God give each of us an exchange. May we exchange our hate for his Love.

"Pride".
God hates pride, I think maybe because it's the same as spitting in His face. We are only able, because of His grace and mercy...
I don't believe that a person can add any measure to themself, that God doesn't allow.
