Because i hate witchraft and the occult so much, and i'm tempted so badly by it....i vehemently hate witches. And i mean so much, it's litteraly gotten to the point i come up with slurs towards pagans and witches. I won't say them, but it would be the equivelant of calling a black person the n word, is the point of them...and it was when it got to that point i realized this has to stop. Please pray i'll be able to repent of this hatred.
Witchcraft is evil as it comes from Satan....we are told to hate evil as God hates evil...but to love our brothers....hate the sin not the sinner...pray for them.
In Hebrew there is another meaning for hate...God hated Cain but Abel He loved....He hated Esau but Jacob He loved....
So the question arises how can God hate....He is Love...?
By understanding the translation of the Hebrew word in its context doesn't mean hate as emotionally but hate as in disapprove/chosen over another....
Here is a good explanation
When studying the Bible, it is critically important to always study the context of a particular Bible verse or passage. In these instances, the prophet Malachi and the apostle Paul are using the name “Esau” to refer to the Edomites, who were the descendants of Esau. Isaac and Rebekah had two sons, Esau and Jacob. God chose Jacob (whom He later renamed “Israel”) to be the father of His chosen people, the Israelites. God rejected Esau (who was also called “Edom”) and did not choose him to be the father of His chosen people. Esau and his descendants, the Edomites, were in many ways blessed by God (Genesis 33:9; Genesis chapter 36).
So, considering the context, God loving Jacob and hating Esau has nothing to do with the human emotions of love and hate. It has everything to do with God choosing one man and his descendants and rejecting another man and his descendants. God chose Abraham out of all the men in the world. The Bible very well could say, “Abraham I loved, and every other man I hated.” God chose Abraham’s son Isaac instead of Abraham’s son Ishmael. The Bible very well could say, “Isaac I loved, and Ishmael I hated.” Romans chapter 9 makes it abundantly clear that loving Jacob and hating Esau was entirely related to which of them God chose. Hundreds of years after Jacob and Esau had died, the Israelites and Edomites became bitter enemies. The Edomites often aided Israel’s enemies in attacks on Israel. Esau’s descendants brought God’s curse upon themselves. Genesis 27:29 tells Israel, “May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.”
So I will pray for you that God give you clarification and peace about your hatred towards evil. I assure you it's not evil to hate witchcraft and the manifestation of it through people.....it is wrong to hate people if it is an emotional and prejudice hate that is in your heart.
God Bless and keep seeking His truth.
