1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Quit skirtting the question you know what I asked, and then you post a scripture that was never on the thread until you posted it.
Now show me where anyone said Christ "hated" anyone.
You are changing the subject, but I want that accusation answered.

International Standrad Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) from eSword.
I. Definition: Love
luv (אהב, 'āhēbh, אהבה, 'ahăbhāh, noun; φιλέω, philéō, ἀγαπάω, agapáō, verb; ἀγάπη, agápē, noun):
While the Hebrew and Greek words for “love” have various shades and intensities of meaning, they may be summed up in some such definition as this: Love, whether used of God or man, is an earnest and anxious desire for and an active and beneficent interest in the well-being of the one loved. Different degrees and manifestations of this affection are recognized in the Scriptures according to the circumstances and relations of life, e.g. the expression of love as between husband and wife, parent and child, brethren according to the flesh, and according to grace; between friend and enemy, and, finally, between God and man. It must not be overlooked, however, that the fundamental idea of love as expressed in the definition of it is never absent in any one of these relations of life, even though the manifestation thereof may differ according to the circumstances and relations.

I thought an outside source might be of some help.

Craig I am not skirrting the question. I am talking about love and then posted was God HATING Esau. I was then directed to read the Hipocrite paper at the bible truths site and I did not see any reference to hate in that article. That is what I ment.
Take what ever way you wish but I was not accusing anyone of anything.
Now if that answer is not good enough for you well then I am sorry about your luck.

I am not like many on the forum who know so much about the scriptures and I don't know how to say things the right way. I am encouraged from reading all the information and all from so many.I learn so much from ya'll. I think we are all just trying to do our best to live as Jesus would want us to. I don't think I will ever be able to love like Jesus did while on this earth. All I can do is try to follow the model of love that Jesus showed to us. Do I fail? You bet! I had to speak privately with my friend last week about something I said that had hurt someone's feelings. That someone was a family member. I have so few family members still living that the ones I have are so precious to me and the knowledge that I had unintentionally caused pain was tearing me up inside. My friend came through for me again and helped me quit beating myself up and that is a testament of the love of a friend!
Bobby, my friend, you are never alone. God knows your kind and loving heart and He knows that all you want to do is practice what the Bible says. You are blessed , my friend, and we are all blessed to know you! Much love, Jennie
