God would only "Hate" if it was incapable of "Pity." It's a similar concept to how Mercy is the opposite of Justice.
It's a philosophical paradox. How could Evil be Loved by the Good? But Good can be Hated by the Evil. The Good would Pity Evil. Why would Good "destroy" evil, isn't destruction evil? Why would Good procrastinate if destroying Evil was good?
People are desperate to remove responsibility from themselves. So they invent paradoxes of merciful justice, because it suits them, if it didn't, they wouldn't care to hold them. This wonderful world just isn't good enough for them the way it seems, hard and random.
Satan must Love if God Hates. It often boils down to semantics.
Every conceivable sin possible was placed on Jesus as if he had committed each and every one by each and every person that will have ever lived.
I realize the televangelists have been teaching this for decades, but there is no scripture to back it up. I hate the way the statement bides one to imagine every sordid type of foul act being placed alongside our image of Jesus. I do not believe this teaching. I believe that since every person has the seed of Christ within yet must endure mortality, corruption and all manner of sin, that in this way all the sin is put on Christ. And as a parallel with the scripture in Isaiah where it says "His visage was so marred he was unrecognizable" the same can be said of the human race as it walks through death and hell (Christ is here with us). Only by faith are we now lifted up out of hell, torment, and the misery that plagues those who do not share the blessed hope. Our mission should be to lift others out of hell (visit those in prison, feed the hungry)- these words are spirit. Instead some offer nothing but a drink of vinegar instead of water. I know some can hear what I am speaking.
Does God feel both happiness and sadness? Of course. So why do some people think that agape love and intense dislike cannot exist in the same perfect being?
That's what I am trying to ask, but getting answers is like pulling teeth.
Because hate is a human psychological WEAKNESS of our ego. God has no such WEAKNESSES. Why do I even try????
It must be frustrating to expect everyone to take your personal opinions for gospel. My opinions is that human hate is very different from what God feels, as human hate has evil motivations and intents.
Come back when you figure out what people were talking about.
The OP and your disdain for Mystics belief of love your neighbor as yourself and repent when we don't, which is the foundation of everything he says, which you call a product of the human mind.
