Sheez. The entire point of the Christain faith is that God loves man in spite of his sin-God's always loved man, His creation. So He hates sin, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us". (Rom 5:8)) That's love, not hate. Man hated God without reason according to scripture, enmity comes from man while God loves unconditionally, whether we like it or not.
I think some ignore this. They see the enmity between God and man as coming from God's end; when it is from our end. The enmity between God and man is our enmity toward God. Otherwise, why Christ? Jesus is the Testimony of God's unflinching and uncompromising love for sinners.
