"And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness." Malachi 1:3 "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." Psalm 11:5 "The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity." Psalm 5:5 How do you explain those? Your verses are all over the place. Having intimate knowledge of somebody is not to love them so I'm not sure why you're citing verses about the womb. >First, God loves ALL of his creation. Interesting, show me one verse that supports this. Does God also love Satan and demons? Yes, he said creation was good when he made it, but he gave us free will to corrupt it and do evil. I could say a burrito is good but that doesn't mean I love it. And what is love anyway? "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 Would you lay down your life for a burrito? Did Jesus die on the cross for the mountains and birds? No that's absurd: "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" Matthew 6:26 Who does God love? The righteous: "The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness." Proverbs 15:9 For God to love everybody all the time, there would have to be no wicked people in the world. We know that isn't the case. Why would God even bother to tell us who he loves if he loves everyone? I can't think of anywhere in the bible where God says he loves the whole world. But there are many places where he tells about his love for his people Israel. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field." Matthew 13:44 God loved his people so much that he bought the whole world with the blood of his son, just so he could redeem his people Israel, his treasure who he loved. Not because he loved the entire world. Still, salvation is offered to all who would accept it. Those who do, become children of God, the seed of Abraham: "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:29 "And [Jesus] answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother." Mark 3:33-35 And what is the "will of God"? "Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." John 6:28-29 And to those who do not accept the gift, who are not children of God? "In the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them." Matthew 13:30 They will recieve the fullness of God's wrath and be thrown into a pit of fire. If that isn't hate, I don't know what is.
