Is 1 John in your Bible? "He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love"; "God is love, and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him." God is Love. We are enjoined to love our enemies; do you think Christ tells us to be better than God?Are the Psalms and the Proverbs in your Bible? Because they specifically teach that God Hates Certain People.
Our own mortal, human Enemies may be amongst God's Elect, and just unsaved at this time; we do not know, so who are we to hate them?
But God, who is Omniscient, suffers from no such deficiencies in knowledge. He knows who His Enemies are, and He Hates them.
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
Is Deuteronomy 32 in your Bible?
It's in mine.
Is Deuteronomy 32 in your Bible? Yes, of course it is -- but my understanding of it is a lot closer to Aquinas' understanding than to yours.
It does strike me as odd that a Christian would prefer the OT to the NT to argue a point.
