Why is it so difficult for you to understand that God would have to be changed and MOVED from love by an outside source in order to hate,thus making that outside source having power to move God from love
Again, do you believe God had hate in Him before the fall of lucifer? If you believe this than hate would be part of God's essence and God would be dualistic
Got to get up early tomorrow to start the bird, so I'll keep it short. I don't get this aversion to the idea that God is capable of hate. Did God have hate in Him? That sounds like a trick question to begin with because it implies that there is something wrong with hate. That it is a sin to have. Maybe for us, it is, when it is directed at people whom we cannot see into their hearts. But God can, so he is entitled, no, obligated to hate that which is wrong/evil. Don't you see that is all I'm trying to say here? Scripture says God says he hates certain behaviors. I do not think it is wrong for him to and I do not think it compromises his eternal nature of goodness, holiness, justice and purity. God says he loves certain things us especially, thank God, but also certain behaviors. Because he loves those behaviors it is logical that he would abhor or hate their converse.
Instead of us going back and forth over what I think is not all that big of a deal, why don't you explain to me why you think the Bible would say God hates certain things if he doesn't?
SFA, boatbums told you why: because the Bible says so! It doesn't matter that the Greek word for hate has been used throughout the Bible to mean love less, and not really hate, etc.
Boatbums, do you also believe—because it's in the Bible—the world rests on pillars because God placed the world on them? (1 Sam 2:8; Ps 75:3)?
