Scriptural examples of the relationship between love and hate are found in the Psalms.

Psalm 97:10--"Ye who love the LORD, hate evil." There will be some degree of hated for that which opposes what you love.

Psalm 119--"Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore, I hate every false way.... I hate vain thoughts, but thy law do I love.... I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right, and I hate every false way.... I hate and abhor lying but, thy law do I love"

Whenever you commit yourself totally to something, you resent anything that would violate it. That's why Christians & stheists are punching each other in the nose on YA's R & S. God can be a God of love and a God of hate at the same time.

Here is the answer to your question, "What does God hate?"

Proverbs 6:17-19 lists seven things that God hates. Solomon said, "These...seven are an abomination unto him:"

1. A proud look

Pride is manifested in lofty eyes. Someone who is prideful has his nose in the air and his eyes uplifted. When pride fills the heart, it is reflected in one's mannerisms. God hates people who disdain everyone and everything...are you angry atheists listening?... The sin of pride is probably listed first because it is the root of all disobedience and rebellion against God (Rom. 1:22).

2. A lying tongue

God is a God of truth who cannot lie (Heb. 6:18). That He loves truth and hates lying is illustrated in the account of Ananias and Sapphira, who lied to the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:1-11). God took their lives as an example to the early church.

3. Murderous hands

Verse 17 says that God hates "hands that shed innocent blood." God hates people with murderous, cruel dispositions who will kill rather than be denied or frustrated of what they want. God hates murder because He created life and established its sanctity. God ordained that when someone takes a life, he should pay with his own life (Gen. 9:6).

4. A wicked heart

God hates "an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations" (v. 18). It's ptrmeditation! A wicked heart is the devil's workshop for devising new ways of sinning.

5. Mischievous feet

God also hates "feet that are swift in running to mischief" (v. 18). Normal sinning is described in the Bible as a falling or a tripping. A godless person purposely runs, as fast as he can! He's in a hurry to sin.

One time when I ask a question without mentioning God, a hot blooded atheist rushed to answer, but did not answer my question, only complained that I did not mentin God.

I looked up his info, and he listed himself as an atheist. He was running to curse God, and disappointed that I did not make it easy for him.

6. A false witness

Another thing God hates is "a false witness that speaketh lies" (v. 19). God hates people who put the blame on an innocent party. David, Jesus, and Paul experienced accusations by false witnesses (Ps. 27:12; Matt. 26:59-61; Acts 25:7-8). Bearing false witness obstructs justice, destroys reputations, and even destroys lives in some cases. So be careful not to judge others. God, who sees all, will Judge!

7. A devisive spirit

Verse 19 says that God also hates people who "soweth discord among brethren." Troublemakers create divisions where there should be unity.

The things God hates are in direct opposition to the things He loves: truth, goodness, and unity.

Because He loves men to worship Him in truth, He hates idolatry and hypocritical religion.

He loves us all, even atheists, but gave us free will, and some send themselves to hell. He will not drag you to heaven, kicking and screaming "NO!" (that's the unforgiveable sin that dooms yourself)

I truly believe that the supreme being is incapable of hate but I'm sure the following might annoy her slightly. #1 - People who suffer from the delusion that god is male. # 2 - People who feel that they have a divine right to shove their religion down other peoples throats simply because someone has the independent creative processes to form their own thoughts and ideas. #3 - Brainwashing #4 - Hypocrites #5 - People who cant open their mind to the concept that they might actually be wrong about something. #6 - The torture and abuse of innocent animals #7 - Murder executed in the name of religion

1.) Drive by shooters that kill children.
2.) Lying politicians (as in the famous statement, 'Read My Lips I did not have sexual relations with that women').
3.) A vet that tells you he fixed your dog, now you have a litter of four.
4.) People who shoot at your dog over the back fence with a BB gun.
5.) People who cry and whine about the gays (cause remember they're God's children too!)
6.) People who claim that Christians are the only TRUE believers.
7.) People who have no respect for others.

And God does not hate Epileptics! I know, cause I'm one and he loves me!

God hates seven, because seven ate nine.

Look it up for yourself; that's why there's a reference given. I'm not planning on doing your homework for you; you won't learn anything that way.
