>HATE is a sin.
Incorrect.
Amos 5:15 — Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Proverbs 8:13 — To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
Psalm 97:10 — Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Zechariah 8:16-17 — These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the LORD.
And if you’re one of those who think that the Old Testament is less relevant, here’s a New Testament verse that says the same:
Romans 12:9 — Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Well, that was an educated response - but I fall back on my training.
The emotion of “hate” - the dislike of someone so intense that you would kill them on sight - is a sin.
