And I’m really really really really sure that I’m somehow taking each and every single one of these verses out of context. This list also includes commands to hate those who hate God.
Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psalm 11:5
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Hosea 9:15
All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
Psalm 139:21-22 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies
Psalm 31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
Leviticus 20:23
And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Malachi 1:3 Malachi 1:3
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
There are in fact a growing number of Baptist not affiliated with Westboro Baptist. who specifically hate those who they think hate God because of Psalm 139 and Psalm 31.

When Are Christians Going To Admit That The Bible Teaches That God Hates Certain People?
Posted on October 29, 2011.
They can lie for jesus.
the christians (and all other organized religions) are corrupt, they dont really care what the bible says, they just want money
Edit: How about they learn that “god” didn’t write the bible; humans of the time did.
Sorry I thought you were christian at first.
Ok I will admit it. Our God Yahweh is not the all loving God to all people all of the time God we were taught He was in Sunday School.
Quite right – many Christians cannot accept that God can, and does hate, certain things and people.
I am a christian and know that God hates unbelievers. He loves those who believe in or on him. He loved the whole world enough to have died on the cross in their sted. So now what are you going to do?
Of course he does
But half of those verses you posted are other people saying that they hate someone, not God
God doesn’t hate people, he hates their sin. Many of the wicked, are those who have heard, and were taught about God, but who turned against Him, by worshipping other gods, and who have deliberately set others against God, but never repented…they were destroyed !! However there are some accounts in the Bible of some really wicked people, like the Assyrians, who were really cruel and would skin people, or hunt them etc, who Jehovah God sent a messenger ( Jonah) to tell them to repent, or they will be destroyed…… when they heard what Jonah said…they felt deep regret for their deeds, and told Jehovah how sorry they were, and repented…..and guess what they were saved !!
So the point I am making, is if we sin and do not repent, or feel regret, we will be destroyed, however if we sin, no matter how big the sin is, if we repent, and show Jehovah how sorry we are, we will be forgiven !
Sadly as you say, there are many who find the excuse to hate, even today, but Jehovah God, should not be held responsible for them ! We are all given choices, and the Bible has always been there as our guideline, many don’t care to look, or be guided by the Bible, so that is the choice they make ! Jehovah God forces no one to listen to Him ! Jehovah loves us all….its the sin he hates, and we are told to hate the sin, but not the sinner !
