Can you help me with this?
Thanks…
Blessings and love
The Bible says it many times. There are many different types of love and hate in the Bible. Ecclesiastes 3 tells us there is a time to love and a time to hate. Jesus tells us to love our enemies. While some of the psalms express hate towards God’s enemies. I can hate someone like Adolf Hitler in the sense of opposing his plans and being disgusted by his character and actions, while at the same time desire his conversion or change of heart. Thus, I can both love and hate Hitler at the same time. I don’t think Jesus wants us to merely hate someone like Hitler. For He tells us to love everyone including our enemies. He speaks against pure hatred by telling us to love. In this way we will be loving like our heavenly Father. He both loves and hates the reprobate. Whether everyone will be saved or not remains to be seen. The best we can do is trust God and hope and pray that everyone will be saved.
Addition:
Reprobate isn’t a term only used by Calvinists. St. Thomas Aquinas used it many times.
