The Making of a Reprobate

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "[Y]ou will have to come to the foot of the cross and see what it cost Christ for you to be saved."

 

God's love wins people over (Ro 5:8). Still, men can reject him and do every day (Mt 7:13). They love their sin (Jn 3:19). He will win them for the kingdom if he is able (Ge 6:3) but he wrestles against the human heart (Jer 17:9).

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "God loves all of humanity, even the reprobates."

 

[Edited notes, Enyart, Kgov.com] God loves and God hates: Esau I have hated. Mal 1:3

God hates all workers of iniquity...The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. Ps 5:5-6

The wicked and the one who loves violence, God hates. Ps 11:5

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil. Ps 34:16

God loves righteousness and hates wickedness. Ps 45:7

These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren. Pr 6:16–19

For as [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he. Pr 23:7

All their wickedness is in Gilgal,
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more. Ho 9:15

Moses wrote of God; God said, if you do not obey me my soul shall abhor you. Lev 26:15

Paul writes inspired by the Holy Spirit. Let love be without hypocrisy. Hate evil. Ro 12:9: If you don't hate evil than your love is hypocrisy.

Should you love those who hate the Lord; therefore, the wrath of the Lord is upon you. 2 Chron 19:2

Bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slay them before me. Lk 19:27
