>I love you in the sense that I pray for your repentance, while I hate you for what you're enabling.
Careful there. Only God himself is holy and perfect enough to love and hate sinful humanity simultaneously. There is a reason we are commanded to hate sin, while loving and praying for our enemies. Sin is sin, and thus easy for even us fallen ones to despise with purity of heart. Nevertheless, we can never truly hate a person with the perfect purity of God's hatred, because in our fallen and corrupted state, our hatred of others inevitably becomes perverted into pride, self-righteousness and a Pharisaical bent:
>Luke 18:9-14 King James Version (KJV)
>9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
>10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
>11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
>12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
>13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
>14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
