God hates sin (Proverbs 6:16-19). It is unacceptable to Him. But He died for the sinner (John 3:14-18). So obviously God does not hate the sinner.
This is why God shows us His list of what is not acceptable to Him: because God loves all sinners and wants each of us to get forgiven and be made ready for His Holy Home Heaven. 1
Unless we reject our sins, we have no forgiveness. We remain damned. God is asking each of us: repent of your sin — and follow Him.
See: IF you follow me
Don’t arrive
before The Throne of God
– and discover there
that you are merely
a God–damned mud-man.

The Unacceptables List

“unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips
1 Timothy 5:13
without self-control, brutal, haters of good“
2 Corinthians 12:20
…”strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances
Romans 1:29
”…those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice;
they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.“
Matthew 15:19
…”For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders”
Proverbs 16:28

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NASB

10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Timothy 1:9-11 NIV
9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for
lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers
—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
Revelation 22:15
Outside are the dogs [the godless, the impure, those of low moral character] and the sorcerers [with their intoxicating drugs, and magic arts],
and the immoral persons [the perverted, the molesters, and the adulterers], and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying (deception, cheating).
Unacceptables List …continued
Extrapolated from Ephesians 4:17- 21
…signs you are NOT following Christ
“by an ongoing experience”
17 You continue to live as the [unbelieving] Gentiles live…
You live in the futility of your mind
in the foolishness of your soul
in the emptiness of your soul
18 Your moral understanding is darkened
Your reasoning is clouded
You are alienated from the life of God
…are self-banished from the life of God
You have no share in the life of God
this is because of the willful ignorance that is deep-seated within you
this is because of the spiritual blindness that is deep-seated within you,
because of the hardness of your heart
because of the insensitivity of your heart
19 You are ungodly
in your spiritual apathy
having become callous and unfeeling,
you have given yourself over as prey to unbridled sensuality,
eagerly craving the practice of every kind of impurity
that your desires may demand
20 You did not learn Christ at all!
21 You in fact have not [really] heard Him
you have not been taught by Him
just as truth is in Jesus [revealed in His life and personified in Him],
_________
Be warned. Living without a clue as to what God will one day require of you – is living like the dumbass lamb… narry a thought about what is coming after death.
Living without regard to God – seals your fate.
Turn to Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life – the only way to Father God.

“I am the [only] Way [to God]
and the [real] Truth
and the [real] Life;
no one comes to the Father
but through Me.
– John 14:6
Do you have “an ongoing experience” that Jesus Christ is in you?

The Bad Fruit List – Bad fruit…extrapolated from Ephesians 4:verses 12-32
“Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as [committed] believers. Examine yourselves [not me]! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves [by an ongoing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test and are rejected as counterfeit?
Practicing Sin, Not Following Christ
The sins around us and the sins we do
What escapes your notice?
Excerpt: What escapes your notice?
Obviously, if “it” escapes your notice, you didn’t notice! Ha!
But now you’ve been notified something may be missing. What is it?
Don’t be that shallow, unthinking, self-confident King Solomon’s Fool.
The Inclusive Yet Exclusive Salvation of Jesus
God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners, no exception
What God asks of us in the Bible
Do “good and honorable things”
Holding to beliefs – deserving full acceptance and approval”

Footnotes
- Actually, God’s first “sin list” was what He gave to His Chosen People: the Ten Commandments. See: Exodus 20, according to The Childrens Bible in a Nutshell- Judas Asparagus – Bible Humor
“…God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti.
Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.
These include don’t lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor’s stuff.
Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother….”.
