I agree that there are conditions for sure. God hates certain people. He hates those living in sin. He hated Esau before he was born, because He knew what type of person he would become.I keep hearing people say God loves unconditionally and i don't get it.
There are conditions involved!
Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father. That is a condition.
Belief is a condition. If they don't believe they are condemned already.
God pours out wrath on unbelievers! This sounds like a condition!
So, how does this teaching get so popular? Am i missing something?
here are a few verses on how the Lord is said to hate or abhor people.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psalms 5:5 (KJV)
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psalms 11:5 (KJV)
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Proverbs 15:9 (KJV)
All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
Hosea 9:15 (KJV)
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
Psalms 5:6 (KJV)
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
Psalms 10:3 (KJV)
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
Psalms 106:40 (KJV)
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Thessalonians 1:8 (KJV)
Anyone living in sin intentionally, he hates. Anyone that rejects His truth, He hates. It pleases Him to punish them, there's biblical proof of this everywhere. People reject this truth, and replace the idea that He loves unconditionally, because one of two reasons.
1. They just simply aren't aware, and have been taught this.
2. Or, they don't want to change the way they live to walk in obedience to God.
