Hate is not an emotional response of disgust or simply disliking or loathing. It is the opposite of love, where love is defined as building something up and creating value in something or someone else. God so loved that He gave Life. And in giving Life, He destroyed (hated) the effects of sin.
Hate, then, is the action of destruction. While destruction often carries the notion of dislike and disapproval, the authentic action of hatred destroys that to which it is leveraged.
