Those Whom God Hates

[Mr. M]

Deuteronomy 7:

9 “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God 

who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations

with those who love Him and keep His commandments; 

10 and He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them.

He will not be slack with him who hates Him; He will repay him to his face.

Psalm 11:

4 The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 The Lord tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
Shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For the Lord is righteous,
He loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.

Proverbs 6:

16 These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

John 3:

19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world,

and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 

20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light,

lest his deeds should be exposed. 

21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds

may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.

John 15:

18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 

19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because

you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore

the world hates you. 

20 Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his master.

If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word,

they will keep yours also. 

21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake,

because they do not know Him who sent Me. 

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, 

but now they have no excuse for their sin. 

23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 

To tie this together with "why ant-Semitism?"

Indeed, even more specifically and recently, 

Have you never heard asked, "if God is a God of Love,

how could He allow the Holocaust?"

To this accusation against God and His Son, I will reply:

Isaiah 63:

7 I will mention the loving kindnesses of the Lord
And the praises of the Lord,
According to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,
And the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
Which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies,
According to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.
8 For He said, “Surely they are My people,
Children who will not lie.”
So He became their Savior.
9 In all their affliction He was afflicted,
And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit;
So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.

11 Then he remembered the days of old,
Moses and his people, saying:
“Where is He who brought them up out of the sea
With the shepherd of His flock?
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
With His glorious arm,
Dividing the water before them
To make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 Who led them through the deep,
As a horse in the wilderness,
That they might not stumble?”

14 As a beast goes down into the valley,
And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,
So You lead Your people,
To make Yourself a glorious name.
