I just watched one of those sad videos where people have opinions but ignore anything that challenges that opinion no matter how true it is. In one a white woman told the white reporter that she (the reporter) couldn't say that a drop in tax rates helped black business owners because she wasn't black. So the reporter asked the woman was she a police officer, "No", then asked did she have an opinion on what police should do and "Yes actually, ..." (I've stopped listening there).

So it can be with Christians. They have an opinion (e.g. God's only ever "nice") and contrary to Scripture they won't accept anything else.

So from another page because some think that God is all lovey, dover. A sugar daddy even. In fact I once heard a speaker say that his church would never say that God punished people (????), may I present this:

Joel Meredith has compiled a book of Bible lists "to entertain, interest, fascinate, stimulate and, most of all, to educate." There are some minor problems with this list, but it gives you a good idea of what things God finds to be abominations, or are detestable to Him. Somehow, the author missed a couple. By adding in the following, the list grows to 45 things God hates:
44. "You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates" (Deuteronomy 16:22).
45. "I hate, I despise, your feast days" (Amos 5:21). This goes with Isaiah 1:14: "Your new moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates."
You may have heard the expression, "God hates the sin, but loves the sinner." Although that is not a biblical statement per se, it has been accepted as a true statement. But after reviewing this list, that may not be such a sure conviction. What do you think?
Oh...and by the way, God's love and hate is different than ours. His is always a holy, righteous love and a holy, righteous hatred.

And the consequences, and to see who won't accept the possibility of what's said here simply based on who says it:
