Hate

"There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: " Proverbs 6:16




The LORD hates? I've never thought about it really, that the LORD hates. I knew he was a jealous God, **"Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." Exodus 34:14. I think I was still in that naïve child mindset where God is all bubbly and happy and can only have positive-happy-all-the-time emotions, do gooding.


But he's God right? He can do what he wants.


I'm glad that he shows hate, it gives him a dynamic i'd never thought about.
The Trinity; Three in One; The Fater, Son, Holy Ghost right? This shows God has emotions, and thus Jesus has emotions. No matter how many "Jesus" movies i've seen, they all portray Jesus as this stoic, never smile, never show emotion kind of person. I doubt the accuracy of those movies in that aspect.


**"For jealousy arouses a husband's fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge." Proverbs 6:34. 


Jesus is said/written as the bridegroom to the Church, can you imagine the LORD's Godly fury for his church?


The LORD is jealous for me. He hates it when I do evil, and he loves me for me.


amen.
