But God does hate. Consider:
Deuteronomy 12:31 -- You shall not behave thus toward the LORD your
God, for every abominable act which the LORD hates they have done for
their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to
their gods.
Deuteronomy 16:22 -- You shall not set up for yourself a sacred pillar
which the LORD your God hates.
Proverbs 6:16-19 -- There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes,
seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And
one who spreads strife among brothers.
Isaiah 1:10, 14 -- Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom;
Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah. ...
14"I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have
become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
Isaiah 61:8 -- For I, the LORD, love justice, I hate robbery in the
burnt offering; And I will faithfully give them their recompense And
make an everlasting covenant with them.
Jeremiah 44:2, 4 -- "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
'... 4'Yet I sent you all My servants the prophets, again and again,
saying, "Oh, do not do this abominable thing which I hate."
Zechariah 8:17 -- 'Also let none of you devise evil in your heart
against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I
hate,' declares the LORD.
Malachi 1:2-3 -- "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How
have You loved us?" "Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD.
"Yet I have loved Jacob; but I have hated Esau, and I have made his
mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals
of the wilderness."
Malachi 2:16 -- "For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of
Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong," says the LORD of
hosts. "So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal
treacherously."
Revelation 2:1, 6 -- "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The
One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks
among the seven golden lampstands, says this: ... 6'Yet this you do
have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
