To The “God Hates” Christians

 Why do Christians remain fixated on "God hates this.." "God hates that..." Then they will quote scriptures such as

  • Psalm 5:5, "The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity,"
  • Psalm 11:5, "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates."
  • Lev. 20:23, "Moreover, you shall not follow the customs of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I have abhorred them."
  • Prov. 6:16-19, "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."
  • Hosea 9:15, "All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels
While all true, it is not necessarily final TRUTH. As an example, it is true that you are a sinner, but in Christ the TRUTH is you are the righteousness of God. Do you see the difference?
This is exactly the problem when one does NOT rightly DIVIDE the word of TRUTH.
You must pay attention to the division between the Old Covenant vs. New Covenant.

Old Covenant involves devoting your enemies for destruction. It's the known as law of devotion. Interestingly this law was also primarily used to kick Israel off the land for not abiding by the law. Israel in a turnabout became the enemy, and the land must not be defiled. The New Covenant in contrast, states, that the love of God compels us to state this crazy statement (Paul refers to it as a crazy statement) that if One dies for all then all died in Him (2 Cor 5:14). The cross was the place of reconciliation for the world. You reconcile with your enemies. At the cross, God stated that no longer He imputes sin or hold sin as a barrier to relationship. Man has no excuse to make God his enemy

Again the love of Christ compel Paul to come to this conclusion. What has the love of Christ compel you to conclude? Or are you fixated by hatred and wrath? This is the conclusion. That God demonstrated His love in that, while we were still sinners, - that is, all the verses you posted that you are gloating in, while all of that is true, it's not the Truth - while we were sinners, Christ died for us. And in case you are wondering He died for all. He dragged every man into Him. When He died all men died. All men do not yet live. At the end you would be judged for your works, not because God hates you. Finally in the Old Testament, anything that is not of law is sin. This was a sad state of affairs.

In the New Testament anything that is not of FAITH is sin. Did you get the difference? Be careful that you are not disparaging faith. Again, what does the Love of God compel you to conclude? What are you fixated on?

Focus on that first, before you focus on “God Hates..” Watch your heart.

Harpazo vs Rapture - Part 1

Image
Harpazo is different from rapture. Rapture is based on the notion that Christ comes with dead ones, picks up believers and makes a u turn and flies back up to heaven with unbelievers left behind.  It's helpful to consider Paul's word for "meeting" in this passage. It is the Greek word apantesis, which typically described the formal welcoming of a dignitary into a city. In other Greek literature, it was a term that described a great delegation that would travel to the outskirts of the city gates and beyond to receive the conquering king as he returned to the land." The Rapture counts for absurd eschatology.... And if you believe in the rapture guess who is taken? Not the righteous as you were taught but the wicked. Notice the disciples are asking "Where they were taken"... notice Christ's answer "wherever the dead bodies are for the vultures to consume" Luk 17:34 — Luk 17:37 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the o

Narrow Gate vs Broad Way

That quote also comes from Luke 13... the ENTIRE Chapter is the context.. We can't just pull one verse to form a doctrine. This is the quote.. "Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, 24 “ Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able" The question is saved from what?  is this talking about "eternal salvation"? NO.   Again context. Please make note of the following in Luke 13 The people who asked Christ this had little or no knowledge of the issues and particulars of salvation as we know it today. They were immediately reacting to Christ spreading an interesting message as he was heading towards Jerusalem. What was Christ's message? Well it started with folks pointing out that the Galileans were the most unfortunate because they had Pilate mix their blood with their sacrifices. They concluded that God judged them.  Doesn't that sound familiar with all the

Is Everything According to Gods Plan? Sovereign Will Part 1

Image
Questions: Why do we pray for God's will to be done if it is always done? What am I missing? Did he not know about it after all since the beginning? So if we deliberately don't do God's will, do we say, well he knew from the beginning that this will happen anyway? Why not? It's part of His Plan! There are many times God's will is not done. God's will, is and will always be done. Both statements are true? Do you agree or not? Answers: "Sovereign Will vs Permissive Will. God will permit us to do whatever we like, but eventually His Sovereign Will will be completed. Perfectly. No matter how well we play the game of Cosmic Chess against the Master of the Universe, He will win." - Andre van der Sandt "God's will is not done because man is flawed. Man makes wrong decisions sometimes when he uses his gift of free will. In which there is a lesson he will learn that will ultimately become God's will." - Ricky Diggs "His sovereign
