The LORD: "HATES all workers of iniquity"??

Love and hate are not mutually exclusive concepts.

Do you suppose that Jacob despised Leah?

Genesis 29:31 And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.​

Do you suppose the Jesus was actually teaching that we are to hate our entire immediate family?

Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
​

Of course not! Jacob loved both of his wives and Jesus is the God who made "Honor thy Father and Mother" one of the Ten Commandments!

It's a figure of speech in most cases. It simply means that you prefer one over the other. We are to prefer Christ over our own family and Rachel was Jacob's favorite wife. That's all it means.

Now, that does not mean that God does not actually hate the wicked. He definitely does. And we are to do the same!

Psalms 139:21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.​

That, however, does not mean that He doesn't also love them in the sense that He acknowledges their value as members of the race that He created in His image and in the sense that they can repent and that He very much desires for them to do so and would respond to that repentance with forgiveness and joy.

Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!”
​

And it's a good thing too for we are all workers of iniquity!

Psalms 5:5, . . . thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

 

. . . thou hatest all practitioners of iniquity.

 

When you were a child, perhaps you played "join the dots" and made a picture. Well here is a Bible version: follow the dots and see if you come up with a picture.

Ephesians 2:2. 'We ...... were by nature children of wrath just as the others.' Who are 'the others'? Surely the rest of mankind, those who have not repented and trusted in Christ, those outside the Church. We were just like them.

Titus 3:3. 'For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another........'

Psalms 7:11. 'God is a just Judge, and God is angry with sinners every day.' Who are these sinners? They are all of mankind, for 'There is none righteous, no, not one' (Romans 3:10).
But:
Habakkuk 3:2. O LORD, I have heard Your speech and was afraid. O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; in wrath, remember mercy.' When was 'the midst of the Years'? Romans 5:6 (NKJV margin). 'For when we were without strength, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly'

Isaiah 12:1. ' And in that day you will say, "O LORD, I will praise You; though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away and You comfort me."' What 'day' is that? The day of The Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 11:1, 10).

John 6:39. "This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day."

Titus 3:4-6. '......But when the kindness and the love of God our Saviour towards man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.'

Romans 8:1. 'There is now therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.'

Revelation 7:9-10. 'After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb."'

 

Paul, instead of asking people to help you resolve this, why not ask the Lord to help you?
After all, He is our Teacher ( 1 John 2:20-27 ).

Study to show yourself approved...and so that you may rightly divide the word of truth ( 2 Timothy 2:15 ), my friend.
