Pictured to the left is a copy of a version of the Holy Bible, known as the GOD'S WORD TRANSLATION ( GW ); being entitled: PRAY THE SCRIPTURES BIBLE. Psalm 119:104 reads as follows:
"104 From your guiding principles I gain understanding. That is why I hate every path that leads to lying."
Everyone who is familiar with the Holy Bible would agree that it teaches a message of love ( see John 3:16-18 ( especially verse 16, for example ), for example ).
However, as God's word ( see Psalm 119:65-73, 142, 151, John 17:1, 3, 17, and 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16, 17, for example ), it also teaches a message of hatred ( as we read in verse one hundred four, above ). How naive and foolish it would be to love everything, for in so doing, one would also love sin. Hebrews 1:8, 9 read as follows:
"8 But God said about his Son, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter in your kingdom is a scepter for justice. 9 You have loved what is right and hated what is wrong. That is why God, your God, anointed you, rather than your companions, with the oil of joy.'"
The word "sin" is synonymous with the word "wrong" and, thus, Jesus, God, the Son ( see John 10:30, Romans 1:20 ( see Romans 1:20 ( KJV, for example; with center-column references, for example ) to get the equivalent translation for the word "Godhead" ), Colossians 2:8, 9 ( KJV, for example ), and 1 John 5:7 ( KJV, for example ), for example ) hates sin. As Christians ( see Acts 11:26, for example ), we, too, must hate sin ( see 1 Corinthians 11:1, for example ). Please read the Holy Bible ( see Luke 8:19-21; 11:27-32 ( especially verse 28, for example ), and Revelation 1:1-3 ( especially verse 3, for example ), for example ).
