It brings me back to my first point that we need to interpret gods laws in todays world, this is what happens in Judaism, the Gemorah and several other holy books explain the Torah in today's times, because many laws didn't apply or were "silly."

No, god does not hate everyone. He loves everyone. Yes, everyone sins. But those who know him. Are always forgiven no matter what we do. If you ask god to forgive you for what you have done, and really are sorry, he will forgive you with so much joy. The fact that he hates all sin, and how we sin everyday. Just shows how much love and forgiveness he truly has, for he still loves us, no matter what we do, no matter how big our sin is. And if you truly are sorry, for what you have done, then god will forgive you! For you are his child, and to see you ask forgiveness and repent, will truly make him happy! That's what I believe, God hates the sin not the sinner. Ergo, he doesn't hate gay people, but he hates homosexuality.

Can God hate? Is he human enough to feel?

I think feelings are that of God and when he created man into his image that included all feelings although man itself unleashed hate, violence etc.

Yes, i know he does. You think you know. How can you possibly know? It's not possible. But we shouldn;t discuss this here, *points to the other thread.*

Personally, I am an atheist, but I undersatnd what ilovejesus is saying, that God love the person who commits the sin, but not the sin itself. However, that is assuming homosexuality is a sin, whereas most people would disagree (at least publicly.)

Well, i'm born a muslim and my friend told me the other day that if a person is gay then they will spend an eternity in hell, that pi**ed me off so much, it doesn't seem like people get to choose their sexuality. I've turned atheist/agnostic
