Sometimes, when saved Christians go out to preach the word of God, they encounter individuals who have created their own false god, who is okay with their sin. Now picture this: these idolaters claim that God loves them, no matter how many times they fornicate, lie, steal, blaspheme, dishonor their parents, worship other gods, covet, get drunk, etc.
What they don't realize is that the LORD is angry with the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11)! They don't know that Jehovah hates workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5), and violence (Psalm 11:5).
Whenever a born-again Christian goes to reprove (Ephesians 5:11), rebuke, and correct the evildoers (2nd Timothy 3:16), the wicked sinners sometimes reply with, "You have no right to judge us. Are you God?" Then, these evildoers go on to sneer, and jeer at them, and the Bible.
Born-again Christians should not be led away by their error (2nd Peter 3:17). Instead, they should be bold, and lift their voice up like a trumpet to show these sinners that they have fallen short of Yahweh's glory (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 58:1, Ephesians 6:19-20).
Now, there are dogs out there who support wickedness, such as homosexuality. There are even those who deny Jesus, and claim that He never existed, and that born-again Christians are crazy. What they don't realize is that the LORD hates those that justify the wicked, and those that condemn the just (Proverbs 17:15). These evildoers need to be reproved, and shown that they are already condemned for not believing in Jesus, the only begotten Son of God (John 3:18).
These people have no hope: some of them are so arrogant, that they believe that they aren't wicked; even after you go through the Ten Commandments with them! They don't realize that having pleasure in their ungodliness, and refusing to repent will damn them for all eternity in hell (2nd Thessalonians 2:12)! God hates liars, the haughty, murderers, etc. (Proverbs 6:16-19)
So does the LORD hate anyone? He sure does! Jehovah HATES the wicked!
