Does God really hate esau ? ?
Malachi 1:2-3 I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hastthou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And Ihated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragonsof the wilderness
Now when man takes this verse BY ITSELF AND INTERPRETS ITCARNALLY instead of through the Spirit of God, it is easyto believe that God hated Esau. Howerver, God don’t think like man.There are many other Scriptures that teach us that God loves ALL MEN. There are too many to post them all here, but I will show a few below.
1 John 4:14-16 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sentthe Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess thatJesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we haveknown and believed the love that God hath to us. John testified in that verse that Jesus is SAVIOROF THE WORLD. He also defines the essence of God for us, WHICHIS LOVE.
God is allabout LOVE. Everything concerning God goes right back to love even hisjudgments on mankind. There is never a double standard with God. Hewants us to be like Him and this is why we are COMMANDED TO LOVE EVERYONE. Why? Because God loves everyone because LOVE is the very essenceof God as you read above in the scriputre posted.
Now If JesusChrist hates men and sets them on fire as is taught by some of the churches thenhe could not possibly dwelleth in God because God is love which you just readabove. And there is another verse to help you understand….LOVE WORKS NOILL. So now what we have here is Godis love and Love works NO ILL.
1 COR 13:4-8 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; [SUP]5 [/SUP]does not behaverudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [SUP]6 [/SUP]does not rejoice in iniquity, butrejoices in the truth; [SUP]7 [/SUP]bears all things, believes all things,hopes all things, endures all things. Thesewords describes how God commands us to live and treat all of our neighborsalways.
Weare further told Love NEVER FAILS.
1 COR 13:8 Love never fails
God’s love andmercy will NEVER FAIL MANKIND. NEVER!!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his onlybegotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but haveeverlasting life. HE HAS NEVER STOPPED LOVINGTHE WORLD, not for a HALF A SECOND andfurthermore Jesus will be the reason WE ALL will believe in him. His love willnever fail us. To teach otherwise is blashpemy agaisnt the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some mencount slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any shouldperish, but that all should come to repentance
Love islongsuffering and God is patient so people need to stop talking the foolishnessthat time is running out for us. It’s not. God will keep right on discipliningHis creation until His love wins. He is not gonna give up and say oh well Itried long enough sorry for you. That’s not what a savior does.
While It istrue that God hates sin and that God is angry with the wicked every day thisanger and this hatred is of the sin and not the people themselves and it is Hisgood pleasure that we learn discipline.. This is what a good father willdo, he will show us right from wrong with some tough love in the form ofpunishments, but those punishments will ALWAYSbe just and righteous and always given with mercy. Just like a naturalfather would do to their kids which they love and will never abandon. Men who are using this hatred for esau verse to help support the teachings we canhate men because God does which causes man to believe in the false demonicdoctrine of an eternal hell and is not only false but blasphemy againstthe Holy Spirit.
Esau will be inthe kingdom of God someday. He shall enter the gates in the time whenthere will be no more tears, because death and hell, the last two enemies ofJesus will be defeated put under His feet (1 COR 15:54-57). But in hisfleshly life it was not ordained for Esau to come to repentance. It wasnever his choice to make, it is always granted of God. He could not inhis own power or initiative come to true repentance because it is only thru thekindness and mercy of God that He grants this to those He chooses and when hechooses.
Jesus does notever hate anyone, neither does the Father. We are to be just like Him, sothis is why we are told to love everyone ourselves, even to love our enemies.How can man possibly be just like God ifpeople are teaching God hates his enemies but wants us to love ours. That wouldbe the opposite of God and not being like God. How could we be just like him ifwe arent’ just like him?
Luke 6:35-36 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping fornothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of theMost High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. [SUP]36 [/SUP]Thereforebe merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
Does God everstop being merciful since he never changes?
Here is anotherverses that confuses a lot of people about hate
God does notliterally want us to hate our family. He means we must put God first aboveeverything and everyone. HE MUST COME FIRST. And that’s all it means. Ibet none of the members here hate their own family. Do you?
The real Godloves everyone and will never stop loving them. Anyone who teaches otherwise isdeceived and are deceivers and false teachers. LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU!!
