Q&A: Does God hate the sinner? Psalm 11:5 and the complexity of divine attitude

Why God's Wrath is Good 00:36:33 – 00:37:36

Viewer question on whether God's attitude toward the wicked is hatred.

Psalm 11:5 states 'his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.' Mike notes that 'hate' in Hebrew contexts sometimes carries the meaning of non-selection (as in Romans 9, 'Jacob I loved, Esau I hated'). His honest position is that God loves and in some sense hates the same people simultaneously. In Christ, the person is transformed so that the basis for divine disapproval is removed.
