HATE EVIL
Pr 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
It is quite appropriate for Christians to be characterized as intolerant and hateful people by those who love sin. Of the characteristics of those who may dwell with God, David writes, "He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts ..." Ps 15:2-4
In fact Christians themselves are hated by the world because we testify that its deeds are evil. Jesus said of those in the world, "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil." John 7:7
In conclusion:
"Let those who love the LORD hate evil." Ps 97:10
