Smile God loves you

God hates the sin, but loves the sinner. You can hear this statement in most Judeo-Christian churches in New England. I want to take a minute and look at this statement.

Although the above title is something that I think we all would like to adhere to, the truth of the matter is that God does hate people and he does reject them from entering his kingdom. A couple of the verses that I know of off the top of my head is Ecc. 3:8, which clearly states “ A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace”.

Another such verse is Romans 9:13; “As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated”. This verse is conclusive proof that God does hate some people and others he loves. Obviously this verse would apply to the descendants of Esau and of Jacob as both were not alive during the writing of the book of Romans.

Revelation 3:16; “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth”. This particular verse is about the lukewarmness of the church of Leodicea in which he spues them out of his mouth. Although it does not specifically mention hate it is a very strong verse to support the idea.

                                People believing that God loves everyone and will save them.

This is the truth: scriptures apply to God as well as man as he will not break his own laws. If we are to be God like we must have the same emotions that God would have and hate what he would hate. This is called righteous hatred. It is also a common error that some believe that God is all love, like some kind of a hippie, when in actuallity he isn't. On judgement day these who believe God is all love are going to be in for a big surprise when God lets them perish and will not execute the loving attitude they expect. It is also truth that God sends the Sinner to Hell and not the Sin!

In closing I encourage all to follow Yashua Messiah and read their Bible daily. I pray all will study the Bible with an open mind and not be given in to fables of man. It is true that God hates you however you may be able to be converted if you both hear his call and answer it.

Praise the Lord!
