Was Jesus’ Analogy Flawed?: Someone's response to Matthew 5: 13 was “How can salt lose its saltiness? If it wasn’t salty, it wouldn't be salt.” I understand what Jesus is saying here, but does this mean Jesus’ analogy was flawed?

Hating vs. Loving Evildoers: Psalm 139:21-22 and Psalm 5:5 seem to imply it is good to hate evil people who oppose God, but Matthew 5: 43-48 seems to encourage the opposite. Where is the proper balance between these things? Thanks!
