"God hates the sin, not the sinner"
Is this statement true? Or is the title true? Let's see what the Bible says about it...
For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you. 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. (Psalm 5:4-6)
The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts (Psalm 11:5)
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. Psalm 139:22 (here is a psalmist talking about their hate)
If a preacher teaches that God is bothered by your good or bad works that preacher might as well rip Job out his/her Bible.
If you sin, how does that affect him?
If your sins are many, what does that do to him?
If you are righteous, what do you give to him,
or what does he receive from your hand?
Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself,
and your righteousness only other people.
(Job 35:6,7,8)
Wonder how the world would be if Pastors taught truth rather than feel good lies? Pastors for years have been spoon feeding "love stories" to the people. We have become Sodom. We are worse than Gomorrah. Look around you.
It can be argued that the Bible, if it is taught verse by verse, teaches to hate an action or a sin. If you instead read the Bible as a whole you will quickly understand that God does not judge the gun shot or the lie, in fact, he judges the liar and the shooter! He judges people not inorganic actions.
Truth be with you.
