Since satan is totally evil, we should hate him and all sin and wickedness,
Since humans are not totally evil like devils, we are to love others and minister to them with prayer, the word, and good works that help them, even when they are our enemies, persecute us, wrong us, or do evil.
Matt. 5:43-45
However, we are not to revile Satan or evil powers as even Michael the archangel does not disrespect these beings. Jude : 8-10.
So, we are to speak to them with the authority of Jesus, as Michael did and said: "The Lord rebuke you!"
But I don't think it is right to talk "smack" to any evil being.
Psalm 97:10
Tells us:
You who love the Lord, hate evil!

absolute disgust that which is evil, cleave to that which is good Gods Word. The challenge is still walking in

despise the author of sin the devil.
