So that would also include females that support feminism? U think interpretation feminism is required to qualify that.
I didn't even mention feminism.

Is hating homosexuality is a sin? I feel very negative or a bit angry when I think about homosexual relationship. It's not that i hate the people it self ,but homosexuality it self. As well with feminism I don't felt it represents what it truly states. For me it seems like hidden agenda how to destroy families so ifeel sometimes a bit anger on what they are doing.

guard your heart for out of it flows the issues of life

you might want to think about what is making you feel the way you do, is it things you listen to or watch? if so lay off those for a while.

what you allow inside you will come out eventually and hurt you......

What is in the dark shall come to the light in one way or another. What is in the man is what comes out of a man. If you have hate in you, it has to come out in one form or another. We think it is the thing we see on the outside that causes the hate to come out.....but the only reason it can come out is that it was in to begin with. If the "sin of Homosexuality" was erased from the earth......we will find something else to hate......it will come out in a different form for another "reason". IF one wants to stop hating....it is the hate that need to be erased from within...as oppose to removing what our eyes see.

After some of the posts from Christians here, I feel it best to comment further, because I think some of you are posting pretty comments of so called wisdom that simply are not biblical. But don't listen the me, listen to God:

Psalm 11:5

5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Looks to me like God not only hates sin, but the sinner, as opposed to popular belief.

Psalm 5:5 ESV
The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.

"Nicolaus: "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil (Proverbs 8:13); whether it be the evil inside of you, or the evil in another: that is what you should hate."

One of the most deceptively anti-Christian maxims ever crafted is "Love the sinner, but hate the sin." Hate is seething resentment and when we project such resentment against our neighbor's sin, the resentment inevitably comes across as resenting the sinner, as well. Negative emotions can't be effectively targeted or limited in the way we might hope. That is the reason for the widespread stereotype of evangelicals as unlovingly judgmental. Also, we must be careful when we invoke biblical texts on the issue of hatred. Jesus taught that the true disciple must "hate" his family. But in Aramaic language games the word "hate" can sometimes refer to one's spiritual priorities rather than to emotional venom. Compare Jesus' positive use of "hate" in Luke 14:26 with his use of "more than" in the parallel saying in Matthew 10:37.

Nicolaus: "David hated, and David was a man after God's heart;

David was a murderer and an adulterer and, though he repented, the psalms reveal that his heart is still full of unChristian hate for his opponents. e. g.
"I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies (Psalm 139:22)." Do you really believe that people who smash the heads of innocent babies against rocks are divinely blessed? "Blessed are they who take your little ones and dash them against the rock (Psalm 137:9)." Do you actually believe that this vicious sentiment is divinely inspired Scripture? This just in--Jesus rebukes such hateful Scriptures and implies that so-called believers are not even children of God, if they hate in this way: "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:43-45)." Are baby killers really blessed as Psalm 137:9 implies? Or should we obey Jesus' teaching about blessing: "Bless those who curse you (Luke 6:48)." Can you say "progressive revelation?"

Because hating sin magnified it, while Love covers it by the multitude.

How does hating sin make it bigger or worse, or whatever you mean?

Where is that in the Bible?

the more people that hate anything, the more likely it will become unpopular.

Proverb 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins

But does hatred of "sin" stir up strife? and if it does, good. That is the strife Jesus claimed to bring instead of peace.

Or are they just referringg to general hatred.

The letter killeth, yet the spirit maketh alive. Wisdom is gained through experience...not reading and believing words.

The bible states to guard your heart and mind.....It listed the fruits of the spirit and left out hatred.

Hate can consume you....it can control you.....it is a seed that continues to grow and bear fruit. Just think about someone hurting you in some way and you hating them after.....The feelings of hate grows every time you see them and think about them and the situation. But if ,by chance, you forgive them on your own, or after feeling that they were genuinely sorry for what they've done..... when the hate lifts, it is like a great burden removed from your own shoulders..... Why is this...when you have done nothing wrong?? It was them that did the wrong to you...so why does them becoming sorry relieve you of anything? Because the hatred is a burden you chose to carry and later....let go.

It stirs up the worse strife there is......the strife within you. the hate controls your thoughts about the subject...later the thoughts of the people doing the "subject".....later it makes you anger at the one who choose not to hate it. It convinces you that it is your friend. That you should never let go of it. It grows and spreads out to other areas.

I see no fault in you hating...you are free to chose what you feel it best for yourself. But As for me and my house........For it to be completely filled with love....I had to remove all hate......I havent found that they mix well.

Homosexuality is immoral. One may not recommend homosexual behavior.
One definition of hatred is hostility. Hostility led to violence. Violence is a sin.

Matthew 5:43 World English Bible "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?"

I picture Jesus in this forum thread saying; ‘He who is without sin, cast the first stone!’ and everyone will say….’Yes! and Amen to that!’

But he does not stop there, for after talking to all the people pointing their finger he then looked to the woman caught in her sin by saying after they all left and he was ALONE WITH HER, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours?j]">[j] Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go andk]">[k] sin no more.”

As people who are born from above; born again – we do not conduct according to the principles of this world, or our fleshly desires. We walk in the Spirit. Which means we treat all people with God’s standard, direction and love. Being angry and being steeped in it to remain there – is not what is of the Spirit. Taking the thing that stirs you so to the Father and seeking Him and His counsel is. We then are freed from the snare that such anger brings – and I believe, He gives us the heart of His love, and His passion to deliver all to Him so that none would perish. He also gives us perspective that is his, where there may be a misunderstanding or a wrong mindset will be revealed. They are then not looked upon as enemies, but as lost. As we humble ourselves before Him, not thinking we are more highly than another, He straightens our crooked thinking, and gives us His love for His people, as well as to those who are lost. We look not to condemn them, but to be lights and offers of hope.

You guys can create an unreal pretty world and idea of God/his word if you like, yet God hates sin and the sinner, we've shown you scripture to prove it. Think me and my house will Go with him/his word on this.

And that doesn't mean I hate things I'm not supposed to hate, but those things aren't the subject here. Some of you have taken something else about hate, and are trying to meld it into this, when it simply and biblically doesn't fit.

I hate what is the subject here because it's disgusting to me, so my feelings say I can hate it, as does God, so I figure I'm fine, am not hurting myself a bit, but am doing just what I should do. God made me to love the Gals/females, have certain feelings about them, and to be disgusted with homosexuality, and he made us that way for a reason. One can overcome the disgust/hate, but I have no intentions of doing that.

The truth isn't always a bed of roses, a pretty love everybody, everything...no hate no bad feelings towards anything.

Hate evil, love good.

It's gained form both. We read, then experience. You're essentially saying if we want wisdom, toss the bible and go by experience and feeling as out guide..it's all we'll have then, we won't even know of God.

Bad, bad idea.

Up to you what you do, but I think I would think some of this stuff through before I posted it. Is it really biblical or does it just sound like it should be, so we throw it out there.

Homosexuality is a sin. I suppose we should hate sin. As far as homosexuals go, our goal would be to get them to repent of their sin. As for feminism, I don't really understand it.

Hate evil, love good.
I'll repeat. I see nothing wrong with you hating anything. You should continue to hate until you feel you shouldn't anymore. And you are right, I'm not that concerned about the object of the hate....I've just found the emotion, in general, to be detrimental to my own spiritual journey. If it helps you...please continue to hate.

God hates my sin yes......I should as well.....as far as others, who can know the heart but God? Why concentrate on the wrong doing of others, so much that I grow hate for it, When I can focus the same energy on the sin in myself?

Why is it not enough for me to tell them what I believe about sin, and move on? Why did does my hate have to be added?

We are to hate all sin.

Feminism today doesn't look like it did more than a hundred years ago...
it has a variety of definitions and presented in many forms "today".
Check it out in history books for yourself.
