DOES GOD LOVE THOSE HE DECLARES THAT HE HATES? The Bible tells us of God’s hatred as well as God’s love. So if God hated even one man he would Not “so love the world”. He does say “Esau have I hated”-[Mal. 1:3 and Rom.9:13]. If God hated just Esau, Then Edom could not be included in the “all” of “Go ye into all the world” and “God so loved the world”. “For those who are firmly convinced that the one who was crucified is Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Please note that He is capable of hate. The Greek word is “miseo”, to hate, regard with ill-will, to Detest, to abhor. This puts the followers of the Nicolaitanes in the same category as Esau [whom God hated before he was born]. If deeds have nothing to do with resurrection, why does Jesus Make such a statement about the deeds of the Nicolaitanes? If all men are equal before God, why Did God hate Esau before he was born?” God’s love to the Elect is in no way limited. He so loved this “world” of His Elect. This is the order of Israel He loved and sent His Son to redeem. This is for whom Jesus died. We are told He came “to save HIS PEOPLE from their sins”. They were already His people.
