RE: [TruthTalk] God Hates

[ShieldsFamily]

Bill, very well said.  Scriptures state that God hates the wicked.  It is because He loves goodness, and He loves those that the wicked harm, and He loves Himself who is Love.  He still loved the wicked enough to die for them in case they would believe on Him and repent. Izzy   Romans 9 13   Just as it is written, "(28) JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED." 14   (29) What shall we say then? (30) There is no injustice with God, is there? (31) May it never be! 15   For He says to Moses, "(32) I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." 16   So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who (33) runs, but on (34) God who has mercy. 17   For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "(35) FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." 18   So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He (36) hardens whom He desires. 19   (37) You will say to me then, "(38) Why does He still find fault? For (39) who resists His will?" 20   On the contrary, who are you, (40) O man, who (41) answers back to God? (42) The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? 21   Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? 22   What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much (43) patience vessels of wrath (44) prepared for destruction?            2 Chronicles 19 2   (1) Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, "(2) Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD and (3) so bring wrath on yourself from the LORD?     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wm.
