Does God think that hatred is evil ?

[TiredOfTheWorld]

Because there's a lot of hateful people and they make me feel bad so I think that God should do something about their feelings of hatred.

And where do you think God should stop?

A true story.
A friend of mine working at a farm was told to go into the duck pen and put all the big ducks in baskets to take to be sold.
He did this, but looking at the pen he saw there were ducks bigger than the rest, so he collected them.
But looking at the pen saw there were bigger ducks still there.
At this point he stopped and asked for clarification.

Point to this story.we are All sinners, not just those who violently hate, we all hate something.
Are you ready for God to judge sin, your sin?

Hatred is not evil, God hates evil resulted from sin, and he MUST hate evil in order to love. You may have heard that the greatest evil is good people doing nothing when evil people wreak hovac.

 

[for_his_glory]

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Is this fair and justifiable? Why would God create evil if He is suppose to be a loving just God?

The evil that God has created are His righteous judgements that come upon those who are not obedient to His commands. It's like that of the10 plagues in the book of Exodus as Pharaoh oppresses Israel while taken them into captivity as even though God gave him a chance to let them go he refused so God's punishment came against Egypt.

The same with many battles we read of in the OT that came against God's people as all is done in righteous judgement of God to show He is the Great I Am, Exodus 3:10-15.

So will it also be in the end of days when Christ returns in all His righteous judgement, Rev 19:11-21.

I like your answer thanks.

God did do something about hatred in the world by sending his Son, the God-man Jesus, to suffer, die, and rise again, because he, the Creator, loves his human creatures. However, by and large, his creation rejects him still. Humans are fully responsible for their hatred of others, not God.

Joh 1:9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
Joh 1:11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
Joh 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
