Now the Bible never uses this word to speak of God's love for sinners. God cannot be attached and devoted to a soul that is devoted to evil. This is a special love shown only top those who love Christ. The Greek word used in these passages is agape. Agape love is not an emotional love, rather it is an act of the will.
Agape love is the willing of the highest good of a person, irrespective of grateful response.
God does not act on emotion, but intelligence and good will. God's hatred of sinners is not ill-will, but a feeling of dislike. So all we are saying by stating that God hates sinners is that the sinner is displeasing to Him, that He has no deep and tender feeling of affection for him, and that there is nothing in the sinner that God enjoys. Maybe a clearer translation of the idea would be to replace the word hate with the word dislike. The wicked. . .
