Note: I am Predestination but because the verse in Hebrews uses the word b_stards it will not post.Discerned,
In regards to your previous comment you said,
"But where do you draw the line. All of us were workers of iniquity before we were gloriously converted by God's grace and came to the saving knowledge of Christ. Some would have us to believe that he hated only the non-elect workers of iniquity, but loved the elect workers of iniquity.
It is unfathomable for them to realize that God actually hated them and loved them at the same time. With God, all things are possible. With man?"
God never hates his elect. If God hates whom He has elected to eternal life in Christ Jesus, it would actually be a death sentence in hell fire under the wrath and detestation of God for eternity.
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Hebrews 12:6-8
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye b_stards, and not sons.
