define the term hate. The way we hate today, or the jewish term (love less)?
I think the Word tells us pretty clearly and also implies that God loves everyone, even the unsaved.
Here is a passage for those that state God hates the unsaved.
1 John 4.8-11
[SUP]8 [/SUP]The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. [SUP]9 [/SUP]By this the love of God was manifested [SUP][b][/SUP]in us, that God has sent His [SUP][c][/SUP]only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. [SUP]10 [/SUP]In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
