Ask Steve Epley if he believes holiness is part of the gospel. Ask any Oneness standards-keeping conservative if holiness is part of the gospel.

They will say yes. They will say that "without holiness no man will see God." They will say that you can't be saved without holiness, and that holiness includes no makeup or jewelry.

They believe wearing those things will send you to Hell.

A lying tongue.
People that sow discord.

God loves the meek, the peacemakers, the righteous, those that help the poor and outcast, the merciful, etc.

God loves the world. That's why He sent His son. If He hated us He would have left us to die in our sin.

God hates sin. But while we were still sinning He died for us.

There's no love in their message, only hate.

They remind me of Jonah, who was pleased at the thought of Nineveh being destroyed for its sin.

He was angry at God for even thinking of extending mercy to them.

So angry that he spent 3 days in a whale before he broke down and prayed to God.

No. He does not hate "gays." God loves gay people.
