Subject: Does love or hate sinners? matt 5:43-48

Bible Note: Steve!

Thanks for your answer!
Good try! smile

Based on this:

Yes, God loves sinners, as shown by these two verses.

John 3:16 (ESV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him
should not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 5:8 (ESV)
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

then when God says
He hates evil deeds and those who reject His love,

He must mean this:
Proverbs 6:16-19 (ESV)

There are six things that the Lord hates,

seven that are an abomination to him:

[17] haughty eyes in hate of the humble, whereas God is proud in love of the humble. Matthew 3:17
a lying tongue in hate of the truth, whereas God speaks the truth in love of liars. Ephesians 4:15-16.

and hands that shed innocent blood in hate of the guilty, whereas God sheds innocent blood in Love of the guilty.Romans 5:5-8.

[18] a heart that devises wicked plans in hate of the wicked, whereas God devises wicked plans in Love of the wicked,I saiah 28:9-13.
feet that make haste to run to evil in hate of the evil, whereas God makes haste to run to evil in Love of the evil people! Deut 32:39. Isaiah 45:7-8. Romans 12:19.Rev. 2:5.

[19] a false witness who breathes out lies in hate of the accused, whereas God breathes out the truth in Love of liars. Ephesians 4:15.

and one who sows discord among brothers in hate of His brothers, whereas God sows discord among brothers in love of the brothers. genesis 11:6-9.

And so he must mean that He hates the sin of hate in those who reject Him!
For He rejects them with Love while rejecting with hate their sin of hate!

Which is just like Luke 14:26:
Wne God uses the word hate for anyone and for anything except for sin when it maeans the sin of hating anyone or anything, He always means:
To love less by comaprison in Love!
The greek word is miseo!

In malachi 1:2, the wrod is sane which means the same as miseo as used in Romans 9:13!

John 3:36 (ESV)
Whoever believes in the Son who is God who is Love and so believes in Eternal Agape-Love has eternal life;
whoever does not obey the Son who is God who is Love, and so does not have Love shall not
see life, but the wrath of God in Love remains on him.

Correct!

Love and Respect,
