Hosea 9:15 (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

Romans 9:13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated

1 Samuel 15:3 (KJV)
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Psalm 5:5-6
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.


I thought, "For God so loved the world", automatically meant he loves everybody and only hates their sins? lolol
Now being Realistic, lets face it, Most fo you, though not all, worship a different God than the one Scripture teaches about

For teh record im not a Christians, its just none of them know how to answer me on these verses
To Papa Smurf: *Sigh*..... Clearly you didnt even read my bible verses
 
if you read what is around theses verses in context or read the entire book, such as the verse in hosea that you have pointed out, you will see that there are reasons that these things happened.
In hosea these things were said but then he used hosea to show his story of redemption through Jesus. before you say im crazy. Hosea was used to mary a unfaithful whore to show that this is what Jesus will do. Jesus is the head of the church and the body is the believers and followers of christ. and the followers are always sinning so we are the unfaithful whore that hosea married in a since. so hosea was used to show Gods redemption.
The passage that you pointed out in Romans if you read the verse before that is says that God did this "so that his purpose of election might stand, not from works butt from the one who calls

and the other two its talking about Gods judgement on the people that dont believe him and reject him.
 
Your right, for God so loved the world.

That doesn't mean that there aren't times He will stop what is happening in order for His will to be accomplished.

He does love everybody, but not everybody loves Him.
 
Hosea 9:15
At Gilgal, both the political and the religious failure of the nation began. Here idols and kings were substituted for God. Saul, the united nation's first king, was crowned at Gilgal (Samuel 11:15), but by Hosea's time, Baal worship flourished there (4:15; 12:11).

Romans 9:13
Was it right for God to choose Jacob, the younger, to be over Esau? In Malachi 1:2-3, the statement "Jacob I love, but Esau I hated" refers to the nations of Israel and Edom rather than to the individual brothers. God chose Jacob to continue the family line of the faithful because He knew his heart was for God. But He did not exclude Esau from knowing and loving Him. Keep in mind the of God we worship. He is sovereign; He is not arbitrary; in all things He works for our good; He is trustworthy; He will save all who believe and trust Him. When we understand this qualities of God, we know that His choices are good even if we don't understand all His reasons.

1 Samuel 15:3
Why did God command such utter destruction? The Amalekites were a band of guerrilla terrorists. They lived by attacking other nations and carrying off their wealth and their families. They were the first to attack the Israelites as they entered the promised land, and they continued to raid Israelite camps at every opportunity. God knew that the Israelites could never live peacefully in the promised land as long as the Amalekites existed. He also knew that their corrupt, idolatrous religious practices threatened Israel's relationship with Him. The only way to protect the Israelite's bodies and souls was to utterly destroy the people of this warlike nation and all their possessions, including their idols.

Psalm 5:5-6
God cannot condone or excuse even the smallest sin. Therefore we cannot excuse ourselves for sinning only a little bit. As we grow spiritually, our sensitivity to sin increases. What is your reaction to sin in your life? Are you sensitive, unconcerned, disappointed, or comfortable? As God makes us aware of sin, we must be intolerant toward it and be willing to change. All believers should strive to be more tolerant of people but less tolerant of the sin in others and in themselves.

Thanks and God bless you and your family.
