Hi JfK
Paragraph 3 of the study you cited from Ray, put everything in context. Basically the hatred applies to those who persist in sin- "when sinning becomes a way of life, and the sins are of a certain magnitude and grossness.."
No problem with either God or you.
I get your point.

Ugh... Set the alarm for 12:30am so I could see it, but I'm on the west coast and it was totally fogged over, couldn't see a star in the sky. Couldn't fall back to sleep till around 3am and I get up for work at 5.. Gonna be a red bull kind of day.
Luckily there's 3 more coming up.. Did anyone get to see it?

--- Quote from: largeli on April 14, 2014, 06:39:49 PM ---God hates sin and sinners. Ok there's enough scriptures on here to show that, but that's not something I'm disputing. I'm saying I, me personally do not hate sinners because that would make me (a sinner) a hypocrite. God can hate sinners and not be a hypocrite because He Himself is not a sinner.
Is there any scripture where we are commanded to hate sinners? I don't mean hate evil or hate sin but are we ever instructed to hate sinners? Because I know for sure we are commanded, not encouraged not advised, but commanded to love our neighbor as ourself. It's not an option or a suggestion. When Christ talks about those who profess to love Him yet don't do what He said to do isn't this what He's talking about? Love your neighbor as yourself.. He says that sums up the law and the prophets. 'Depart from me I never knew you' isn't this statement reserved for those hypocrites who don't love God and their neighbor as themselves?
Am I in the woods here?

His kingdom is not of this world. Neither is mine. Which is why I don't vote or engage in politics. I will not join any military or bear arms or kill anyone. I don't own any weapon. I will not engage in false worship of God, but will worship Him in Spirit and Truth. Get the point?

Is this the same John from Kentucky who suggested I move to Tonga with my 'high moral sensibilities' when I expressed my opposition to the US wars in the Middle East?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Yep, that's me, the same lovable little fuzzball.
I didn't think your comments expressed thankfulness to God for letting you live in this country with all its blessings. Of course, I don't want to offend anyone from Tonga. :D
