    Psalms 11:[5] The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

    Those who "love" violence are the object of God's hate.
    A kind of reverse "conversion" those who are comitted to wickedness as a way of life.

    Where did the concept of separation come from? The original question was whether it's true that God hates the sin but loves the sinner.

    You guys are boasting of your status as "sinners" - so does God hate you? He does if He hates sinners.

    Scripture says "All have sinned...", yet we all admit that God at least loves some of us, if not all men. God sent Christ to die for sinners - this is love.

    Remember,it's the sinner himself who is judged and condemned and punished.If God hated only the sin and not the sinner He could strip away the sin and redeem the sinner rather than casting the whole person into Hell,Mt.5:29,10:28.

    The penalty (wages)for sin is death. That penalty can only be paid by death - either the sinner's or Jesus. It was God's love of the sinner that modivated Him to send Jesus to die for our sins.
