beasts who shall devour your children, pestilence, captivity in a
cruel land...] And if you will not for all this hearken unto ME, but

THE HISTORICAL POSITION OF THE CHURCH

AS REVEALED BY ITS REPRESENTATIVES
AUGUSTINE (354-430, Bishop of Hippo): “For it may be that GOD
HATES A PERSON to the degree more mildly, as not to destroy
him, but whom He destroys HE HATES THE MORE EXCEEDINGLY,
by how much He punishes more severely. Now HE HATETH ALL
WHO WORK INIQUITY: but all who speak lies He also destroys.”
(Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Vol.3, p.462)

JOHN WESLEY (1703-1791, founder of Methodism): “But as for the

wicked, GOD HATES THEM, and will feverishly punish them.”
(Explanatory Notes Upon the Old Testament, Vol.2, p.1639)

JONATHAN EDWARDS: “The God that holds you over the pit of
hell, much in the same way one holds a spider, or some loathsome
insect, over the fire, ABHORS YOU, and is dreadfully provoked: His
wrath towards you burns like fire: He looks upon you as worthy of
nothing else but to be cast into the fire: He is of purer eyes than to
bear to have you in His sight: you are ten thousand times more
ABOMINABLE in His sight than the most hateful venomous
serpent is in ours.” (Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God, July 8,
1741)

CHARLES G. FINNEY: “The very thing that God hates and

disapproves is not the mere event - the thing done in distinction
from the doer; but it is the doer himself. It grieves and displeases
God that a rational moral agent under His government should array
himself against his own God and Father, against all that is right
and just in the universe. This is the thing that offends God. The
sinner himself is the direct and only object of His anger.” (The Guilt
of Sin, pp.84-85)
F. DELITZSCH : “Of such (sinners - the foolish, and more especially
the foolish boasters:)... SUCH MEN JEHOVAH HATES: for if He did
not hate evil, His love would not be a holy love,” ... “And His soul
HATES the evildoer and him that delights in the violence of the
strong against the weak. And the more intense this hatred, the
more fearful will be the judgments in which it bursts forth.”
(Psalms, Vol.5, pp.122,189)

CHARLES H. SPURGEON: “Verse 5 - Note the singular opposition

of the two sentences. GOD HATES THE WICKED, therefore in
contrast He loves the righteous...” (The Treasury of David, Vol.2,
pp.57-58 on Ps. 5: 5 )

AUGUSTUS HOPKINS STRONG : “There is no abstract sin that can

be hated apart from the person in whom that sin is represented
and embodies. It is the sinner who is punished, not the sin.”
(Systematic Theology, p.290f)

J. VERNON MCGEE: “ If you think God is just lovey-dovey, you had

better read this (Ps.11:5) and some of the other Psalms again. GOD
HATES THE WICKED who hold onto their wickedness... I do not
think God loves the devil, I think He hates him, and HE HATES
THOSE WHO HAVE NO INTENTION OF TURNING TO GOD. Frankly,
I do not like this distinction that I hear today, that ‘God loves the
sinner, but hates the sin.’ God has loved you so much that He gave
His Son to die for you, but if you persist in your sin, [or] continue
in that sin, you are the enemy of God. And God is your enemy.”
(Psalms, Vol.1, p.72)

LAYMAN’S BIBLE COMMENTARY: “God’s Hatred of Evildoers

(Psalm 5:4-5)... God is not said to love the sinner and hate his sin;
He is said to HATE BOTH THE SINNER AND HIS SIN. This sounds
harsh to modern Christian ears, but there is truth here we dare not
overlook.”

MATTHEW HENRY’S COMMENTARY: “He is a holy God, and

therefore HATES THEM (the sinner), and cannot endure to look
upon them; the wicked, and him that loves violence, HIS SOUL
HATETH... Their prosperity is far from being an evidence of God’s
love...their abuse of it does certainly make them objects of HIS
HATRED. He hates nothing that He has made, yet HATES THOSE
who have ill-made themselves.”

THE INTERNATIONAL CRITICAL COMMENTARY: “But the wicked

HIS SOUL DOTH HATE... Their treacherous preparations...are all
observed by Yahweh, and HE HATES THEM FROM HIS VERY
SOUL. The soul is the seat of the passion of anger and hatred, for
God as well as for man...therefore, Yahweh is trying the righteous
man, and HATING His deadly enemies...”

THE INTERPRETER’S BIBLE: “In vs. 5 the verb ‘trieth’ has its object
both the righteous and the wicked, and means no more that the
Lord watchfully observes them both and estimates them for what
they are, HATING THE LATTER and ultimately pouring His
destruction upon them.”

BROADMAN BIBLE COMMENTARY: “Yahweh takes no pleasure in

wickedness and does not dwell with evil (or evil men). Insolent,
boasting people have no position at all in the presence of Yahweh,
who HATES ALL ‘DOERS OF SIN.’ Indeed, Yahweh will annihilate
those who speak deception: HE DETESTS THE MAN OF BLOODY
DEEDS AND DECEITS.”

AGAIN, THE "CONDITIONAL" LOVE OF GOD

“God hates the sin, but loves the sinner” has become the motto of
American evangelism today. Certainly, God hates sin – about this
there can be no equivocation. But the WORD also states
unambiguously, with striking frequency, that GOD HATES
SINNERS. The WORD says that He will laugh at the wicked when
their calamity comes like a whirlwind, and that He rejoices over the
wicked to destroy them. If you find this concept of GOD
incompatible with the tenets of your religion, I really doubt whether
you really know the WORD!

Justice is an attribute of love. A honest judge in a courtroom of

justice rejoices to catch all criminals, convict, and punish them. Is
it because he is unloving? No. If he is loving, he will be glad the
rapists, murderers, car thieves, child molesters, extortionists are
sent to jail - for the greater good of society. GOD hates sinners in
the same sense a honest judge would hate criminals - for the
greater good of mankind! GOD hates sinners in the same sense
that HE hates the devil - to promote the general welfare of HIS
CREATED. Not because GOD is hateful, but because He is
PERFECTLY loving. For the greater good of the universe, HE is
forced to rid the earth of all rebels and reign forever. It is best, it is
right, it’s the loving thing to do. As long as sinners serve the devil
by continuing their relentless war against virtue, purity, goodness,
then the Wholly CREATOR hates, abhors, curses, detests,
despises them, and will ultimately destroy them in His wrath -
because the FACT is. . . GOD is Love.

There is a LIE in which GOD loves all men unconditionally, sinners

and saints, that is Not at all the Truth and is totally contradictory to
the WORD's teaching of HIS hatred for sinners. HE only cares for
the sinner in the sense that HE wills their good. The WORD wills
that all men repent and not perish (2 Pet.3:9).

God’s caring for sinners is not emotional drivel or sentimental

feelings. He does not accept sinners “just the way they are”; they
must repent (change, and TURN) and believe in order to be
accepted by HIM (Acts 10:35). He doesn’t love sinners the way that
they want HIM to: HE does not give them unconditional approval,
unconditional acceptance, unconditional forgiveness, or
unconditional friendship.

The WORD speaks of a love God has for HIS CREATION is

WHOLLY CONDITIONAL.

Hear the WORDS of CREATION:

Proverbs 8:17 “I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME: and those that seek
Me early shall find Me.” (Can you SEE the Condition? "Loves them
who love the WORD!")

John 14:21 “They that have My commandments and keeps them,

they are the ones that love Me: and they THAT LOVES ME SHALL
BE LOVED OF MY FATHER, and I will love them, and will manifest
myself to them.” (Condition not only KNOW the command / demand
but live them are they who love HIM!)

John 14:23 “Jesus answered and said unto him, IF ANY LOVES
ME, they will keep My WORDS; AND MY FATHER WILL LOVE
THEM, and We will come unto them, and make Our abode with
them.” (Total Condition !)

John 15:10 “IF you keep My commandments, You SHALL ABIDE IN

MY LOVE; even as I kept My FATHER'S commandments and abide
in HIS LOVE.” (That ONE verse should overrule the LIE, that the REAL
CREATOR, loves a sinner! )

John 16:27 “For the FATHER HIMSELF LOVES YOU, BECAUSE

YOU HAVE LOVED ME, and have believed that I came out from
GOD.” (Condition "because you have loved the WORD!" Not just
"liked" HIM!)

I John 2:15 “Love not the world, neither the things in the world. IF
any man love the world, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN
HIM.” (Condition: "do not love the world, nor the things in the
world!")

ALL CONDITIONAL love is the love of relationship and friendship,

such as the love a man would have for an old, faithful obedient and
faith-filled servant. GOD'S conditional love is fellowship. We
enjoy this love only by being wholly obedient to HIS WORDS of
influence of His CONDITIONAL LOVE.

You cannot know His CONDITIONAL LOVE unless you cease to

love sin and He becomes our First Love.

Love by definition must be voluntary, and NOT forced or obeyed by

"fear." As "fear is only the beginning of Wisdom," as fear awakes
the slumbering soul to the eternal danger of disobedience to a
WHOLLY CREATOR! HE states in . . . Jude 1:23 ". . .And others
save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment
spotted by the flesh!"

The WORD does NOT force love upon anyone.

That would not be benevolent - just as it would not be benevolent

for a man to “force” himself upon a woman.

The WORD wants our love to be a free expression from all our
heart, will and emotions.
Only in this would He receive glory and be pleased.

The WORDS invites, persuades, pleads, and beckons all to leave

their idolatrous loves and worship and adore the TRUE CREATOR
WORD above all, to give the WORD of CREATION TOTAL pre-
eminence above EVERYTHING on earth, above the earth and below
the earth.

If you comply, the WORD delights in you.

Should the WORDS of WISDOM delight in Hitler, Stalin and Moses

and Elijah alike?

Should the WORD be pleased with Judas Iscariot, as same as John

the Apostle?

How about Ananias, with Sapphira who withheld and disobeyed and
were destroyed?

As long as sinners reject the DIVINE WORD, shown in the bloodied

and bruised body of CHRIST, they cannot receive CONDITIONAL
love.

As long as any of you continue in your sins, you are at war with
the LAWMAKER, and under the condemnation of HIS LAW and
wrath of HIS justice, THAT CONDITIONAL love not-with-standing.

Unless you meet the terms of the covenant - have total reverence
of the WORD, TURN, TURN form ALL your defilements, and
completely obey, and love the WORD supremely - all are doomed
to the fire of the COMPLETE ANGER and WRATH on Judgment
Day!

The real question, or statement, is never really been. . . “Does the

WORD love you?” But “Do you love REALLY the WORD?”

Never did CHRIST or any of His Apostles ever tell the lost
multitudes, “God loves you”. Never!

And John 3: 16 wasn't written until around 93 AD, and than

TOTALLY MISS-Translated into what you pretend that the HATER of
SIN, changed HIS MIND about the destruction of sinners!
NOR did any "preaching" anywhere in ACTS of the Apostles state
that "God loves you and has a plan for your life." NEVER!

Matter of FACT:
1 Cor. 3: 16 & 17 was INSPIRITED THRU Paul more than 50 plus
years before John penned John 3: 16!

1Co 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are the temple of GOD, and
that the SPIRIT of HOLINESS dwells in you? If any one defiles the
temple of GOD, HE shall destroy them; for the temple of GOD is
WHOLLY, which temple you are."

And 1 Cor. 3: 16 &17 that set the precedence, or stranded about

anyone who makes the temple of the WORD unholy or defiled!

Rom. 1:18 "For the wrath of GOD is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold
unrighteousness as the Truth!"

2Thes. 1:8 "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not
GOD, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence
of the [W]ORD, and from the glory of HIS power."

2Co 5:11 "Knowing therefore the terror of the [W]ORD, we

persuade men; but we are made manifest unto the WORD; and I trust
also are made manifest in your consciences."

Only the "sinners" creator, loves the sinner!

Since the REAL John 3: 16 was not INSPIRED until 93 AD, than can
the real logic be, that any of the people of the WORD, ministered
that their 'GOD loves the sinner,' and all you have to is learn the
above WORDS TO OVERCOME that LIE!

What could have been preached, since John 3: 16 was NOT

"ministered" for the first 60 (SIXTY) years of the BODY of CHRIST?

Rather, they told the multitudes of their duty to love the RISEN
WORD, supremely and love their neighbor equally to that WORD -
this is all the Law of LOVE.
And if sinners would not keep HIS WORDS they were ALL warned
of HIS righteous judgments, so that they rather fear HIS WRATH.

In the book of Acts, our first example of Church evangelism, the

word “love” is not mentioned even once, while the fear of the Lord
is referred to ten (10) times!
Love was NOT mentioned as the WAY to heaven for sixty (60 plus)
YEARS from Acts of the Apostles!

And the so-called Love of GOD, never once started a "revival,"

except through the "saints!"

Anyone who believes that the WORDS of GOD ever said HE "loves
a sinner" does not know the FIRST and foremost WISDOM of the
WORD!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom?

The WORD says it is the FEAR OF THE WORD!
Fear ALERTS the soul of oncoming danger, and the soul can
choose to TURN, and at that point of choice, to TURN from their
wicked ways, than LOVE pours forth into the soul, and LOVE is
revealed!

One cannot love the WORD in the moral sense - GODLY

UNSELFISH LOVE, good-willing, perfect submission - and turn
against the MORAL LAW of GOD! This is NOT LOVE but the
pretend-a-love or humanistic gospel that omits mention of the
wrath of the WORD on All who do NOT OBEY HIS WORDS, and that
brings sure condemnation.

Sinners love to "pretend" that the WHOLLY WORD has love for
them, which provokes no GODLY repentance, and has quenched
the conviction of the SPIRIT of HOLINESS upon so many.
Sinners live in opposition to the ONE WHO could LOVE them. and
are actually "ENEMIES" of DIVINE LOVE! Sinners are natural
enemies of anything that pertains to LOVE and LIFE, that they are
opposed to REAL LOVE, in any sense of the WORD, LOVE!
These "rebels" hear someone tell them, “God loves you and has a
wonderful plan for your life” and they pretend it means the WORD,
accepts them, or that has good feelings for them, or that the
WHOLLY WORD is pleased with them, and that is so far from the
Truth, that ONLY the totally deceived believe such a overwhelming
LIE! The "pay as you enter" hirelings say 'Come as you are."

The WORD is PERFECT, and does not accept them as they are - He
hates them as they are!

The DIVINE “PLAN” for them is eternal torment in the lake of fire,
unless they TURN from their wicked ways, and submit to the
WHOLLY WORD!

This “God-loves-you-unconditionally, false Gospel” should be

utterly forsaken for the GRAND NEWS message by the HIS
WORDS!

Holiness or HELL!

Consecration or condemnation !

Complete Deliverance or Total Torment!

Your Choice!

PSSST: The very first verse, stating the WORDS of CREATION that
said . . . “I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME. . ." Proverbs 8:17 was ALL
that was really needed for a TRUE LOVER and REAL believer of the
WORDS of CREATION!
And anyone who can SEE and HEAR these WORDS via the DIVINE
MIND. . . AGAIN “I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME . . ." Proverbs 8:17
was more than enough to convince any NON-demented soul that the
LOVE of the WORD is in FACT CONDITIONAL!

But since most were "churched" in the sin-0-gods of satan, under

the council of the UN-godly, we gladly provided a "washing of the
WORDS," in more abundant manner!

ORIGINAL WORDS of . . .
JOHN 3: 16 "The ORIGINAL CREATOR so loved HIS Original
Creation, that HE sent forth HIS WORD again to RESTORE that
creation, and anyone lives as HE lives will not condemn
themselves but have everlasting LIFE!" (HIS LIFE not "our" life!)
