True. But that only (for sure) applies to humans. Who have a messiah to save them (If they let him since we still have free will).
Satan was an angel. He's not human. not in the least bit. He gets no salvation. Angel's don't have free will and they arnt' created in God's image. We are. And then the Devil gained control in our minds with his little trick. Now it's an ongoing war.
I hate Satan. He doesn't get the mercies and unfailing love that we are allowed. He can't get a clean slate.
But defintally, when you're talking about humans, you hate the sin with all you got and love the sinner with all you got.

No. God created everything in pairs. Your eyes, your ears, your nose ( 2 nostrils ), hands and so is intentions. There are good intentions and bad intentions. Good intentions come from god through the angels, and the bad intentions come from god through satan. Human beings have to decide which one to choose. The good one or the bad. It depend on how bright the person is. What happen if the bad things happen to us. A misfortune. We will curse it. So, in other word, we hate bad misfortunes occured to us. Thus we also hate, the messenger who brings bad things to us. Therefore, to hate the sin not the sinner is true.
Thank you

God says to hate the sin and love the sinner. God is Truth.
If you choose to love satan, that's YOUR problem...and I mean that in every way possible.
Remember...satan will forever hate you no matter whom you choose.

I don't think that Satan exists except perhaps in peoples minds ever since religion put him there. I'm not concerned about the sin crap. Religion should clean up its own back yard before they can can pass judgment on mine. I just try to do the right thing.

Satan is the true liberator of mankind and is the one that taught us to be free thinking and rational beings and Lucifer is the one who brought enlightenment to man. We all have a little bit of Satan within us all.

how is that possible? Satan relishes in destroying love..so to love satan is contradictory to what he believes and stands for don't you think? so if you want to be on satans side...hate him but follow him with all that you can; not recommended though.

Yes I do! Without him I cannot grow in spirituality and grow into the image of Christ.
He tempts me, he persecutes me , he do all sorts of things to get me to fight him and tried to trip me , put lies in my head to counterfeit the thoughts as my own , etc
So I really thank satan for without him I cannot know what's really in my heart. with him around I know for when I failed I know god is there to remind me even for that particular sin I have taken it upon Myself to the Cross. Is God great and His love amazing ?

I'm willing to love Satan, hoping to change his evil ways.
but that Bush fellow is another story.
sorry God, I can't turn the other cheek anymore. I'm too bruised and battered.
