Greetings brother
I appreciate what you are saying, I now see the angle you are coming from, but I feel I have to compare scripture with scripture when items appear to be different, we all have to do this.
Not sure how you can separate sin that is un-repented and the sinner. God loves everyone who repents, that I agree with.
Romans 9:13
As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
Hosea 9:15
Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.
Again here is the word of God telling you he hates "
them", that is people right?
Above you quoted two verses in two books, for two people.
I quoted two verses together, that includes all God's children, lost and saved, which is quoted as the world, the people of the world.
John 3:16-17 (NKJV)
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
I have to compare what is said regarding two people, at different times with the verses above which refer to the world.
Which tells me, For
God so loved the world, every human created, which is a stronger and clearer emphasis on God's love for mankind.
Psalm 5:5-6
The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
and
evil doers are people they are sinners who have not repented.
Psalm 5:5 says, “The arrogant cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all who do wrong.”
Notice that is it not some abstract “sin” or “wickedness” that God hates in this verse; it is people whom He hate '"
notice Gods hate those who hate him, they are his enemy is the way I see it.
As stated previously... God does not hate the sinner, He hates the sin.
God does not hate the sinner brother, He hates the sin. Lying is SIN.
God loves ALL the world, He hates SIN.
Romans 5:8 (NKJV)
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
You have quoted above from Psalms, psalms are wonder writings, but they must be read in context, e.g. is it God speaking or the psalmist, is the psalmist lamenting and pouring his heart out to God.
Take psalm 5 you quote above for instance. This is a Psalmists plea to God, it is a please for help.
Psalm 5:1-12 (NKJV)
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my meditation.
2 Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray.
The psalmist cries out to God in his plea, to be heard.
3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct
it to You, And I will look up.
4 For You
are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.
5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
It is the psalmist that is stating here that God does not take pleasure in wickedness, it is part of the psalmist plea to God.
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
The psalmist contrasts himself to evil people, even though he recognizes that his access to God’s presence arises because of God’s grace, God's great and steadfast love [
ḥesed]
8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
9 For
there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part
is destruction; Their throat
is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.
10 Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.
11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.
12 For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as
with a shield.
I have not seen the video of Psalm 139 I will check later if it doesn't have sub titles I won't be able to hear it.
Reading the
Psalm 139:1-24 we have
The psalmists plea to God. This psalm is one of the best-known and loved psalms. It is often read as a calm reflection on God’s omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence. The psalmist wants God to search him and see there is no offence in him. The psalmist admits to God he cannot go anywhere without God knowing, he says where can I go, you know me, you created me, you vindicated me, so I do not feel the comments quoted are anything God has said, only what the psalmist has said to God, 'you hate all evil doers' etc.
It is worth sharing scriptures and discussing them together, thank you, but I do not see God's statements in the Psalms quoted, only the Psalmists, but in John 3:16:17 it is clear about God's love for mankind, ALL mankind.
God loves ALL sinners, but He hates the sin.
John 3:16-17 (NKJV)
16 For God so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
He gives ALL the people of the world the same choice,
- believe and be saved, sins forgiven, not condemned
- reject God's offer of Love, Salvation and Eternal life and receive the condemnation
John 3:18-21 (NKJV)
18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
God Loves us so much, He gives us a Free Will choice to believe or choose not to. The decision is ours not God's.
He wrote everything down beforehand, we have our lifetime to choose, right up to our last breath, we just don't know when that last breath will be.
Bless you
