Does God hate?


There are some who believe that God is love and therefore God doesn't hate anyone. 

Unfortunately as is often the case, Scripture says differently.  This passage is God speaking in the first person through His prophet Hosea.

Hosea 9:15(NKJV)
    “All their wickedness is in Gilgal,      For there I hated them.     Because of the evil of their deeds     I will drive them from My house;     I will love them no more.     All their princes are rebellious.

God clearly says that He hated these people.  God tells why he hated them.  And then God reinforces the notion by clearly stating that He will love them no more. 

That must come as a surprise to those who seem to think that God will love them and take them back no matter what they do, even if they don't repent, because God is love.
