God hates both Sin and sinners.

Still waiting for the Scripture that states that God hates sinners.

Not an explicit statement, but nonetheless,

The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. (Psalms 11:5)

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. (Psalms 10:3)

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. (Psalms 7:11)

I think God can hate and love the same people, hating sinners for what they are, annd fit for the fire, and yet loving them despite that, sparing not His own dear Son to save them. Because God hates sinners then Israel was marked for destruction. But because He yet loved them,.

I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God. (Ezekiel 22:30-31)

Still waiting for the Scripture that states that God hates sinners.

Romans 9:13 Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

Proverbs 16-19

16 There are six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to him;

17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

18A heart that plots wicked schemes, feet that are quick to run to evil,

19The false witness who utters lies, and the one who sows discord among kindred.

Psalm 11:5, "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates."

Lev. 20:23, "Moreover, you shall not follow the customs of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all these things, and thereforeI have abhorred them."

Hosea 9:15, "All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there! 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."
