I believe that God loves everyone (liars, cheaters, homosexuals)

Dear Sinner,

What is this belief of yours based on? It apparently is not based on the Bible, as God hates some people.

Romans 9:13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Malachi 1:3
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

Proverbs 12:16-19
These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

This last quote proves that God not only hates lies but people who lie (a false witness is not some abstract kind of "sin" but a person). Do you think that the Bible has erred here? If you think so, can you provide us with a reliable method how to discern false passages from the ones that you deem correct? Thank you in advance.

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: Intro

Well, I suppose if you must start with the premise "God Loves Me No Matter What," then these mental gymnastics must be quite comforting. However, if you start with the Holy Bible and allow It to speak for Itself, you'll find the Truth™.

Anyway, do you have your husband's permission to be here?

Hi, I recently joined. I am a Christian who was saved at the age of 5 as a result of a sunday school lesson. I am a sinner who has been saved by grace. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for everyone and whoever believes in Him is saved. I want to share the love of Christ with others who are lost in sin. I believe that God loves everyone (liars, cheaters, homosexuals) but he cannot tolerate sin because He is perfect. And that is why He sent Jesus, so that all of us could come to Him and so He could save us from our sin. All we need to do is ask. I know i am not perfect, but I do my best to live the way He wants me to live.
