Why did God make his pact with the jews?

>The nation is like a mighty lion;
>When it is sleeping, no one dares wake it.
>Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed,
>And whoever curses Israel will be cursed.

Is saying "God hates fags" blasphemy as well?

Is refusing to say "God loves fags" blasphemy?

*farts*
That's an interesting question, Lism, and I thank you for asking it, even if you did brap at the end (I had to wait a few minutes before beginning to type this as to let the smell of that dissipate. I apologize for the delay). To begin, we should define a few characteristics relating to God involving love and hate. John writes in his first epistle that God is love, a defining trait of Him in His glorious self:
>Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)
Secondly, God is also capable of a hatred. If we could not hate, we could not have been made in His image, after all. The exploding of Sodom was not a fireworks show to display God's love for the evil going on in that city, but a massive fireball, in contrast to that evil. It is written in King Solomon's Proverbs that The Lord certainly is capable of hate, listing six things that He hates:
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. (Proverbs 6:16-19)
As we can already tell, then, there's a much more complex situation going on with God than the simple saying of "hate the sin and love the sinner". Proverbs clearly lists people, not actions, that are an abomination and that He hates. It isn't as if God takes pleasure in the deaths of any mortal being, as we hear that very statement in the Book of Ezekiel (18:32), for He clearly desires instead for all souls to follow the path to salvation, to following Him instead of their vain sins. So, just to give a quick explanation, God loves all souls and wants the best for them, but those who persist in their disobedience, whose judgement for their trespasses is imminent without the protection of The Lord's grace through Christ's sacrifice, which those rejectors have rejected, will therefore be judged by their imperfection, which leads to hellfire, rather than the perfection we embody in judgement through the sacrifice of the Christ, which leads to salvation, and a state of being with God. These imperfect rejectors, the wicked, are who God hates, and since God is perfect, he therefore possesses a perfect hatred for the wicked alongside a perfect love for sinners. He desires all to be with Him, aligned to His will, yet He hates those who go against goodness, which is His will, until they waive their judgement-imminent enmity with faith by the grace of God, forgiving with love those who come to Him as He hates those who don't, with that love of desiring them to come to Him alongside that hatred of the evildoing people.
So, we can't sum it up to "God hates fags" or "God loves fags" in such an easy manner of three words, as God desires all fags to come to Him, in spite of their horrible practices, and so he hates the evildoing faggots yet will love those faggots who come to Him in repentance, and He currently loves their soul as they do evil, in the sense that He desires those souls to be with Him, redeemed through Him.
