[@noahinson]

People get God’s hatred confused with the hatred that the Westboro Baptist Church preaches. We must tell people that they are under God’s wrath, but preach it in love and grace. We must also tell them of God’s grace on the cross. This is the perfect combo that is completely biblical. I absolutely love this sermon.

[@HermitintheRain]

@KayPerestrello When you recognize God's hatred for sinners, and the enmity that exists between God and sinners apart from Christ, the miracle of God's love for those with whom he gave his Son becomes even more remarkable. It puts into perspective how God when he commands us to love our enemies, do good to them that hate you into a light that reveals God commanding us to do that which he himself has already done.

[@KristinaGlackin]

I cant hear the audio and typically enjoy Pauls sermons but based off the title, all I wnat to add is Romans 5:9 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ died for us.

[@henry-joemurphy1286]

Exactly right. There's error in this teaching. God hates sinners SO much that He took his very begotten Son and sent him into a world of pure evil and let Him be ANNIHILATED on a cross... Tortured, whipped, beaten, flesh ripped off his bones than nailed to a cross. ... He really hates sinners doesn't He? NO! ... For SO LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.~ (John 3:16) ... "God loved us before we loved Him."... God rewardeth both fools and transgressors .... "I did not come to save the righteous but sinners." ... "I come not to destroy men's lives but to save them." ... "God would have it so that ALL flesh would be saved." You have great discernment sister. He needs to correct this sermon and change it to teaching on the "WRATH" of God... God does hate evil and wickedness and sin. To teach a doctrine that, lost, wicked people are people God hates is 100% Contradiction to the Gospel and entire purpose of why He sent is own SON to be butchered on on a cross for us sinners: miserable, wretched, poor blind and naked: ... Regardless it's incorrect and irresponsible to teach a message like this when "It's the LOVE of God that leadeth a sinner to repentance" ... Telling miserable sinners "God hates you" is a Westoboro Baptist tactic that does NOT inspire or win souls. I'll leave you with this beautiful passage of scripture from Ephesians 2: 4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

[@felixotoo100]

why? because he preached the Word? Remember this before its too late: *the Word of God is not a one-sided sword. It is a double-edged sword.* The same Word that says God is love also says "God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day. If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready." We must prefer to hear the double-edged Word than to have our ears tickled. God's Love is on one hand and His Wrath is on another. He gives us grace that we MIGHT receive Love. If we reject His love, we face the full wrath of God. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, the Bible says. We love to quote John 3:16 but we do not really understand that is carries the love and anger of God towards us. The cross is the wrath and the love of God made manifest. If we do not understand the wrath of God, then we do not understand the love of God and we cannot truly understand why Christ really died. He died for God's wrath against us so that we might inherit God's love towards us. This is what Paul Washer preached. He preached the pure double edged Word of God. The so-called Christians today do not know their God. They want to hear God is Love but block their ears from hearing God is Just. They do not understand that those who name by the name of Christ MUST depart from evil. They do not understand that *to fear the LORD is to hate evil and to love God is to hate evil.*

I can tell you that are true believers that have trusted Jesus as your savior an not in your own righteousness or your own works This false teacher sending people to hell believing the can justify themselves before a Holy God that has forgiven us all trespasses and saved us by grace. All grace. Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. IT is free. Romans 11:6 This man is preaching salvation by works. He is a false teacher. Matthew 7:15-23. Those that believe what He is teaching will hear Jesus say, Depart from me I never knew you, Not I did know you and now I don't, I never knew you. He will not enter in by faith alone, and He will not let you enter in either. Thank God Jesus paid my sin debt in full so I would not have to go to hell to pay for them. AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL, AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE. ROMANS 6:23 Ephesians 2:8-9 First Corinthian 15:1-4 Galatian 1:7-9 Though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you let them be accursed.

[@crem004]

Do you not know that the fire is God's just wrath and hatred towards sin and the sinner? The scriptures testify of God's hatred towards the sin AND the sinner. Yet, God is love and while we were sinners He died for us. That was God's display of perfect love...that while He had great hatred toward us, He gave His Son to die for us to show His great love.

[@MrRwarby]

Christians should be open to ask questions, fighting the good fight of faith, not confirmed to the things of this world. We are not insecure or sceptical! People like Paul Washer actually care about your souls, not using tricks or the latest gimmicks, stimulating your nerve endings with temporary emotional self preaching (hype). Confronting problems is an opportunity for change and setting people free which leads to true repentance at the foot of the cross!

[@Jackjack1978.]

In psalms 5:4 and proverbs 6:16 it says that God not only hates wickedness, but the wicked themselves. But like Paul says this is not the same kind of selfish hatred that we display, but that it is a Holy and righteous hatred which is a lot worse for us. In romans 5 it says that we are enemies of God and that God's wrath is upon us. Romans 1 says that we are wickedly depraved and God hating. We hate God therefore He hates us.

[@markosimurina7628]

When you say God loves sinners you basically take away a righteous indignation of God away from Him and take Him this righteous satisfaction. I don't wanna be on that place, not after knowing all the things my flesh was capable to do and still is. I believe i am somewhere else now, because He loves me not as a sinner.

[@JMRabil675]

[@HermitintheRain]

It will not be sin that is cast into the lake of fire, but sinners. It will be love that casts sinners into the lake of fire. The love for righteousness, holiness and truth will be what puts every sinner who is without repentance, without the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and without the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice into the lake of fire to know only the wrath of God for all eternity.

When I saw my firstborn, minutes after he came to this world. I was actually thinking about the idea of original sin. That was the moment that I found this doctrine revolting. My son was offensive to a god holyness, just for the mere fact that he exists?. My son is not perfect, but the love that connects me to him is. I can assure you, that love is not your god. I despise Christianity for this, because it demands parents to prefer God holyness over their children. A god that demands that, is not a good God. This pastor needs you to believe this, because his status and his lifestyle depends on your fear. When you are afraid, you don't question anything, this is why the ideas of original sin and hell don't go away.

I absolutely enjoy Paul Washer and believe he is anointed. Except, I think he has it wrong on this one. If God hates sinners, then how could he love the world to give up his only begotten son? I say it isn't true, I'm not sure what bible he is reading from but my KJV in Psalms 5:5 says "workers" of iniquity. You must understand what iniquities are to use this verse in the pulpit. Isaiah 53:5 -"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Workers of iniquity would refer to the demonic realm. Jesus said if you look at another women in lust you've committed adultery. Iniquity is the unrighteousness or evil in your heart. You have use the whole bible in context with a given scripture. Read John 3:16 plz. Or Romans 5:8. We must understand God's love for us and how much he desires a relationship with us. He gave up his son, and through his blood God chooses to forget our transgressions and iniquities so he can have an intimate relationship with us. Spend more time with our Father, Brethren. Much Love :)

[@rachray83]

Eric Watson He read Scripture, so you think God is wrong, not Paul...John 3:16 says God loved the world, meaning not just the Jews, but Jew & Gentile and gave His Son so that The Believing Ones (literally the Greek says) would not perish but have eternal life....God's Son came to die and extinguish His wrath, but against believes...And that love was displayed at a specific event, the cross. Jesus Himself says unless u believe the wrath of God REMAINS upon you. It's just a matter of when the full extent of that wrath is carried out fully and finally, it is carried out daily in measures mixed with mercy, see Romans 1

[@jimkraft9445]

Amen bro. Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. it is free. Jesus did not save me because I am good but because I am miserable wretched sinner in Gods eyes. John 3:16 is the whole gospel.

The only thing He wants done is for them to be set free from sin not be brought in bondage to it.

Therefore, you go about your life, wanting to please God, wanting to be like Jesus Christ and being more aware of your actions. You do this not of fear of going to hell, but because you are filled with love with what Jesus Christ sacrificed for you. Your actions and behavior is are pure and genuine. Am I wrong?

[@BeholdTheCross]

Considering the statement made in the bible I believe God loves the sinner to the extent they still resemble the image of God. But at the same time he hates the sinner to the extent that they have corrupted the image of God. And is because of his love for the image of God he destroys the one who corrupts it. Does anyone see this as problematic?

[@SwordofManticorE]

@BeholdTheCross Problematic? My problem is this. God our Father has made us all in His image, sadly, many christians repay our father by doing the same to our Him. When a person reads scripture with his carnal mind, he gets a literal interpretation and this leads to errors of our beliefs of our Father.

[@donnajeanh]

Paul Washer doesn't understand anything about the nature of our Heavenly Father. Jesus was the true image and expression of God. Jesus did not HATE the woman caught in adultery He put the ones who wanted to stone her in their place. And he came to save the lost not the righteous. The bible tells us to LOVE even our enemies. The bible also says that loving our enemies is proof that we are Children of our Father in Heaven. God is NOT a hypocrite.

God hates a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, ETC....But He LOVES His creation, and He LOVES humanity. Satan came to KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY. Jesus came to heal and to save, and to Restore! He gave HIS life on the Cross for this purpose. He WAS successful! He was NOT a failure. The bible tells us that He is the savior of ALL mankind, but, ESPECIALLY of those who believe. There will be corrective punishment, but it is for the purpose of redemption To believe that God's plan was to eternally burn MOST people in some torture chamber is insane and NOT in the bible except where scribes and pharisees have mistranslated words like Aeon (age, or period of time), into meaning eternal or never ending.

@Rhuanjl If God loves those only who love Him, what better is He than the sinner? (Luke 6:32-33)

[@ElevateLife4027]

Does God Hate Sinners? There are many Old Testament (old covenant) verses that talk about God hating sinners. Leviticus 20:23; Psalm 11:5; 26:5; Proverbs 6:16-19; 16:5; Hosea 9:10-15 and Malachi 1:2-3. These passages teach that God hates sinners or evil and wicked people. In contrast the New Testament (New Covenant) scriptures also teach that God loves everyone. Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” John 3:16 New King James Version 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 1 John 4:8-9 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. Luke 6:35-36 New King James Version 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend,hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Many teachers that hold to the notion that God hates sinners tend to use Old Testament verses to justify their theology. Yes, the whole Bible is the inspired word of God, But again let us be reminded that we are under a new covenant. Our main example of God loving sinners is found in Jesus. Jesus showed the world God’s love when He came to earth and healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, delivered the demon possessed, fed the multitudes and Died for all. How many of them where sinners? All of them, because Jesus had not died on the cross yet. God loves the sinner (the person who is sinning) and wants to save them from their sin. On other words, He loves the person apart from thier sin. Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:10 New Living Translation 10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son The Word of God loudly screams that God loves everyone. He rescued the wicked city of Nineveh through a reluctant prophet called Jonah. Jesus died for the sins of the world. But in contrast to the holy believers, God is not very pleased with those who reject Him. Yet, God loves the world. God will leave the 99 to rescue the 1 that is lost. He loves you apart from your sin. He loves the sinner enough to die for the sinner. He wants to rescue the sinner from thier sin. The fact that Jesus died for the world shows us how much He loved sinners by going to a cross and dying for them. Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” So yes, God loves the sinner and wants to rescue them from thier sin.

God hates sinners, not just the sin.

[@HermitintheRain]

@69hulkk the reason we don't understand God's love is because we don't understand what is righteousness or holiness. it is so foreign to our sinful and wicked natures, we don't really have a clue what it is. but of all the things that God praises above anything else, by stating it three times in a row, it is his holiness. Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD God Almighty. this is the cry of the angels that have been around his throne for thousands of years.

[@HermitintheRain]

@KayPerestrello To experience the wrath of God is of such great terror that it caused the Son of God to cry tears of blood at the thought of its imminent approach. But the greatness of the Son's faithfulness was that even in the face of this grave reality, yet for the love of the Father, and for the love of his own, he was ready to take up this cup, and did. To that belongs the praise of the Lord forever, whose mercy endures forever.

[@at987ta]

The only person that can be an atheist is God himself. To say 'There is no God.' requires one to know all things, to be all places at the same time, and have all power. Thus, you would have to be omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. Atheism is absurd and self-refuting.

[@GilbertGTV]

@lastoldlady Amen!! Separate the "who" and the "do". God IS love! God loves all men! It is God's will that all men be saved!

[@SwordofManticorE]

@BeholdTheCross Our Father commands us to love, bless, and forgive our enemies, but apparantly ppl like Washer say that God cannot do the same to His? The doctrine of hell, was created by men, not God. Do you honestly believe our Father says repent, love me, and worship me or else? Turn or Burn? The problem is these carnal minds cannot understand the true spiritual message of love, mercy or the forgiveness of the only Father we have. Does not love conquer all? Is it not unconditional?

[@Rhuanjl]

@SwordofManticorE The many in that passage are all those who trust in Christ only. We must not so interpret one portion of scripture as to contradict another: John 3:36 "Those who believe in the son are not condemned, those who do not obey the son shall not see life for the wrath of God remains on them."

The opposite of love is not hate, it is neutrality, indifference. And God would not "intervene" with himself; one may not intervene with oneself. It is not a matter of intervention of a self, it is a matter of changing the thought and behavior of a self, for whatever reason or reasons. That would simply be a continuation of self with altered perspective.

God loves sinners. He loves to bring them truth and transform them into His image and likeness by His Spirit. 2 Cor 3:18.

[@ToninoterRessort]

@@Jesusbride515 and that is exactly why you you have to read the OT in light of the NT. For God so loves the world... The Father Himself loves you.... While we were yet sinners God send His Son... It pleases the Father to give you the kingdom... God cannot be tempted to do evil.... The goal of all instructions is love, for God is love..... If you don't love, you don't know God (as He is).... Only in Christ you see the exact image of the invisible God. Jesus hanging on a cross, mocked, insulted, dying to restore you-manity back to original created value. Because of destiny, purpose, love. All of us. No matter what we have done. His love remains on us to bring us back to divine life, by His Spirit. 2 Cor 3:18. A revelation they did not have in the OT under the law of sin and death.

Without the propititious blood of Jesus Christ upon the soul of a sinner, there remains only the holy righteous wrath and hatred of God upon that soul. There is only one way to know the love and peace of God. That is if when God looks upon you, just as in the days of the first Passover, unless he sees the blood of the Lamb of God upon door posts of your soul, you will be will be the only way to escape the wrath of God which is upon all workers of iniquity.

[@jamaicanification]

The authors of the Bible are using anthropomophic expressions in order to try and understand God(even though all human expressions fall short). So under Washer's logic when the Bible says Moses saw God's back, he literally saw a man floating in the sky with his back turned to him. Or when it says God regretted his creation in Genesis, he literally felt a human emotion of regret(continued)

[@EtLtItA]

God doesn´t hate sinners he hates SIN.

[@skytrooper506]

David who wrote the Psalm he quotes was a sinner, did got hate him? Everyone in the Old Testament was a sinner did God hate them? I believe the meaning in the Psalm he refers to are those that give themselves up to sin, who make it the business of their lives. Personally I think Pastor Charles Stanley has a better perspective on the attributes of God.

[@UniversalismProven]

RIGHT ON!!!

[@BeholdTheCross]

@SwordofManticorE By loving, blessing, and forgiving our enemies God is working through us to show his benevolence to the lost so that some may turn and be saved. Our Father says Repent from evil which is the flipside of loving God. If we continue to revel in evil then God will punish us and his justice will be made manifest to all. Are you saying evil does not deserve punishment? Evil may not be that bad after all and Jesus wasted his time on that cross?

[@SwordofManticorE]

@truth1disciple I think you hate sinners more. BTW, when did you stop being a sinner, or let me ask that differently. When did you stop sinning?

There shall be no further discussion of this mr.pastorblis, may God have mercy on you, good day.

[@HermitintheRain]

@KayPerestrello The love of God is that he shows mercy to anyone. Not a passive mercy. But an active and effectual mercy. By the mysterious work of God the Holy Spirit, according to the will of the Father, through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, those whom God sets his love upon are being drawn to him with an irresistable grace. Not because they are better than another does he do this. But according to his divine will in electing grace.

[@JustinOsbo]

Why and or how could a sinner choose to love God.... If he hates them Could a parent hate their own child If so the parent would be evil

[@EagleWings777]

God hates the sin, but in the death of Jesus Christ, He can see us as holy. He wants everyone to repent and believe in His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus said love your enemies, do good for them those who hate you and pray for them. Love is stronger then hate. God Bless you all

[@HermitintheRain]

@KayPerestrello What caused Jesus to ask the Father that this cup might pass from him? He was about to experience the full weight of God's wrath against sin. The wrath that is ours to bear unless Christ himself has already endured it for us. What killed Jesus was not the cross, nor the spear in his side, but the forsakenness of the Father, the wrath of God upon him as he took the weight of our sins upon us, as he became sin for us, that we might be the righteousness of God through him.

There's also scriptures that suggest God does not hate sinners, Mathew 21:31"Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes (sinners) will get into the kingdom of God before you.(pharisees/ who thought they were sinless), Mark 2:13-17 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him. 15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and Sinners?” (If Paul Washer believes God Hates Sinners, then if he was in this time he would be standing with the pharisees saying exactly what they are saying which is, Why is that man eating with Sinners!! God hates Sinners!! he cannot be of God) wake up people he who has eyes to see look, and he who has ears to hear Listen! 17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but Sinners.” If God Hates sinners then why is Jesus Christ eating with sinners, conversing with sinners!! If God Hates Sinners then why does he say For i have not come to call for the Righteous BUT FOR SINNERS!! and this is new testament people, if GOD hated a worldly man a sinning man, then I tell you he would not have let his son Die, for you, for me, for sinners and for anyone who wants to have eternal life through him! “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven Mark 2:13, The will of the father is to spread the word to Sinners, to help gods lost sheep not lead them astray!

[@HermitintheRain]

@KayPerestrello The sin that you speak of God hating is not committed in a vacuum. It is committed by sinners who do so willinging. Without sinners taking pleasure in committing sin there would be no sin to hate. If God loves everyone, then God will save everyone. God's love is everlasting and powerful. To say God loves someone who winds up in hell is to speak of God who is not worthy of worship. Romans 8 asks the question: what shall separate us from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ?

[@GARCIARMR]

Will you upload the original file, I can`t understand this audio.

[@gsa219]

you seemed to suggest that God can only love when you talk about Jesus being all-loving, i'd perhaps agree because he led the perfect life and a perfect example to follow. God can't force his love upon us, we're the ones who choose to love him. he did what he had to for us to be saved, he sent Jesus so that we can choose to go to Heaven if we follow Jesus teaching and have faith in him. we must accept that we offend God through sin, and can only acknowledge what he has done for us to be saved

[@gid10]

Yes.. God hates sin, but He loves sinners that's why gave His only begotten Son. If the sinner continues in sin and reject the God's offer of salvation through His Son, then the sinner will suffer the wrath of God. I like your analogy about loving the Jews so we should hate the Holocaust and loving the babies so we should hate abortion.. but the analogy is all about love the person and hate the action. Then you moved to Psalm.. I believe that refers to a person who does not repent and continues to live in sin despite the grace of God. Yes.. preachers should preach about the wrath of God, the poison of sin, but as you have said, God extends His hands to sinners. Romans 5:8 says, God commendeth His love in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. God is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God is so patient with us and He loves us so much that He is not willing that any should perish. God wants us to repent while we still have life here on earth or before He comes because God does not want us to experience the wrath of God.

@changeishere2008 The irony is that I actually do focus on Christ, and not John Calvin. You've probably read far more Calvin than I have if you've taken the time to read him and study the points.

This isn't Calvinism; it's just what the Bible teaches.

@Rhuanjl Just as the many were constituted sinners, they represent all of mankind with the ecception of one who never sinned (Christ). It is the same for for all who will be justified.

There was no false interpretation on my part, only yours.

@69hulkk i know that the apostles, as they stated: Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 2 Cor 5:11 i know that the prophets, apostles, evangelists through the centuries, both before and since Christ's first advent have perished at the hands of rebellious God-hating people in the hopes that someone might hear and repent unto the gospel-which is the mercy to be found in Jesus Christ.

[@GilbertGTV]

@HeartOfFlesh1 I don't think you quite understand my point. God wants us ALL to come to repentance and faith in Christ, that doesn't mean that He will force us, but it does mean that he is patient and understanding and a God of "many chances" to get it right! This is why I adore Him. He is ALWAYS reasonable and loving. No! Our will does NOT supercede His. This is ludacris and blasphemy!

@ritchie1475 Do you not see God's wrath in John 3:16? If God had no wrath toward sinners, then He would not have been able to glorify Himself by showing us mercy on the cross.

[@reginaldgevers6701]

There is a lot of talk of false teachers these days and rightly so. But if a preacher calls another preacher, who focuses on the love and goodness of God, a devil, but the accuser speaks of the living God almost only of being an angry judgemental God then we have a problem in Houston. The accuser turns out to be a false prophet himself because he is not representing the core being of God - that of being love. Since Jesus died and rose again, God has a place of acceptance and of true spiritual growth in peace toward God - Calvary and the empty tomb. That is the legal ground of reconciliation and peace with God. We are called to base our relationship with a reconciled God on this premise: we believers are paid for and imparted with eternal life. That is pure grace and personalised through faith. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:18‭-‬21 KJV bible.com/bible/1/2co.5.18-21.KJV
