Can God Stop Loving a Man,or People?

[seer]

Hosea 9:15,16

Speaking of a particular generation in Israel:

"All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them NO MORE: all their princes are revolters.
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb."


Isaiah 63:9,10

"In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his LOVE and in his pity he REDEEMED them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their ENEMY, and he fought against them."

Hebrews 10:26-29

"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of JUDGEMENT and fiery indignation, which shall devour the ADVERSARIES. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, where with HE WAS SANCTIFIED, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"

[Bill the Cat]

It was not a personal hate, but a national thing.

I will love them no more which is not to be understood of the special love and favour the Lord bears to his own people in Christ, which is everlasting and unchangeable; but of his general and providential favour and regard unto these people, which he had manifested in bestowing many great and good things upon them; but now would do so no more; he would do nothing to them, or for them, that looked like love, or be interpreted of it, but all the reverse; and, by his behaviour to them, show that they were the objects of his aversion and hatred; and this was to continue, and has continued, and will continue unto the time of their conversion in the latter day, when "all Israel shall be saved", Rom_11:26;

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Israel had enjoyed God's blessings regardless of their sin, and God now pronounced that it will stop. Jesus came so that blessings would be individual instead of national. God does not hate any one person or group of people, but hates idolatry and rebellion.

[Theolog]

If love is more than a warm fuzzy feeling and really a positive action for someone beside your self then yes God does stop loving people.

[Bill the Cat]

Well, John 3:16 says God loved everyone enough to send Jesus to die, so He does not stop loving anyone.

And Theolog, I really take offense with your sig line. I am a dispy and a pentecostal. I am not a hillbilly either, so you may want to rethink your sig line or I'll be forced to report you to the moderator. I hate being rude, but I have hurled no insults anyone's way as far as their theology being "hillbilly" or "stinking goat"
