God hates homosexuals.

With regards to the Bible verse provided, you should provide the whole quotes (just a note for future reference). For the sake of voters, I will post them here. [1]Leviticus 20:23"And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them."Leviticus 26:30"And I will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and cast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you."Deuteronomy 32:19"The LORD saw it and spurned them, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters."Psalms 5:6"You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man."Psalms 10:3"For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, And the greedy man curses and spurns the LORD."Malachi 1:3"I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, 'How have You loved us?' 'Was not Esau Jacob's brother?' declares the LORD. 'Yet I have loved Jacob; but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert'"Romans 9:13"As it is written, 'Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.' "Now, before I begin my primary assault, I must point out that Romans 9:13 is clearly a reference to Malachi 1:3, and the purpose of this letter was to question whether or not God is just. However, as that this is a reference to the Old Testament, and not a creation in the New Testament, it should not be considered part of the Christian God, but of the Jewish God. Between those two, I have already written the contrast. However, allow me to illustrate the contrast a little more.Religions evolve into other religions, case in point, Judaism spawned Christianity, but Christianity is not Judaism. It has a Trinity for a God instead of a Unitary God. Christians believe the Messiah has already arrived and Jews believe that they await the Messiah. In other religions, similar differences can be noted. Asatru, the religion that centers around Odin and Thor, evolved from a religion which was without Odin. Instead, the King of the Gods of the (very) ancient Norse was Tiwaz, who in Asatru became Tyr[2], the God of Justice and War. Tiwaz and Tyr are, in essence, different entities, as that one had supreme authority and the other does not. Likewise, Tiwaz evolved from Deiwaz, a very primitive Indo-European deity who might have been the "ancestor" of not only Tiwaz and Tyr, but also of Zeus and Jupiter. In Asatru today, there is still a divide, which might be comparable even more so the difference between Christianity and Judaism. In Odinist or Theodist Asatru, Odin is the ruler of Aesir and has no equals. In Nordic Asatru, he has a rival in the Vanic Goddess Freyja. Although this may not seem related, I bring this up to demonstrate that religions evolve and change over time. So, just as we do not reference the Qu'ran when discussing the Christian God, even though both religions are deviations on the first Abrahamic Faith, we cannot bring up the Judaism when discussing the aspects of the Christian God.So, what differences are there between the Jewish and Christian God (beyond Trinity vs. Singular)? For one, the Christian God demands that adherents go out and seek converts. Many religions of the ancient world (that is before the establishment of the Roman Empire) were what are now called Folk Religions. Whereas Christians and Muslims dismiss the existence of Odin or Zeus or Shiva outright, saying there can be only one God, ancient Folk Religions recognized the "validity" of one another's Gods. So ancient Jews did not dismiss the existence of Moloch, but viewed the deity as something evil and worshipped by wicked Canaanites[3]. For example, Leviticus 18:21 says "You shall not give any of your children to devote them by fire to Moloch, and so profane the name of your God". This verse does not deny the existence of Moloch, in fact it implies an affirmation of Moloch's existence. However, the Christian believer denies the existence of Moloch on the grounds that there is but one God. Due to this difference, the verse you chose from Romans is little more than a quote, and not an attribute of the Christian God.This is important as that the central figure of Christianity is not Moses or Abraham, but the Incarnation of God, i.e. Jesus. A Folk God, such as the Jewish God, is concerned only with the good of the people who worship him (hence why so many ancient Greek Cities chose a specific patron deity) and not with others. The Christian God, however, interacts with a non-Jew when he heals the Centurion's servant. The followers of Jesus, the Apostles, go out beyond the Jews to seek out converts to Christianity. Judaism does not actively seek out converts (although it is possible to convert)[4]. Finally, Paul's letters to the Romans, the Galatians, the Colossians, etc. are all to other groups who were not Jews. This means that Christianity is not Judaism, and merely adopts its Scriptures, but not its practices.Now, let us assume that Jesus did only come for the Jews, as some theologians have speculated. In fact, let us examine 1 Corinthians 6:9. "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality". 1 Corinithians 6:10 continues the damning "or thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God". The list appears to be very great. And the entire chapter and the following one goes on condemning all forms of sexual excess, such as prostitution, touching women, etc. All of these sins, does the Christian God hate all of these persons. If so, then this God must have hated the entire human race! So much for the God of Love....However, according to Christian theology, Jesus died for every person's sins. This includes homosexuals. The Christian God hates the sin, not the sinner (to use the cliche). Again, John 15:13 states "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." Now, you could claim that Jesus excludes homosexuals, however, you'd have to include the full Scripture and condemn all women who have had sex outside of marriage (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 "But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die"). And also don't forget those girls who are raped who do not scream for help (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 "If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you"). So, if this Jesus was the Christian God, as is claimed, and he died for all sins, then no, God does not hate homosexuals. Jesus dying for all sins is the central tenant of Christianity. However, if he did not die for all sins (as you imply) because of hatred, that contradicts the central tenant of the Christian Faith, and allows us to doubt Romans 4:24-25 "It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." This means that can doubt the central tenant of Christianity, that Jesus died for our sins. Since we can doubt the primary miracle of Jesus, we can doubt the other miracles as well. So now we can logically doubt the existence of the Christian God. So again I ask,How can that which does not exist hate?[1] http://biblehub.com...
