If Jesus loves every one why does it say that He hated Esau?

Answer 1

Jesus actually did condone hate and taught people that they should hate.

"If any one comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26

Answer 2

Firstly it wasnt Jesus but God Amighty,Jehovah.And secondly those who do not do what they know to be right are not deserving of God's love.
The personality of Esau shows that the choosing of Jacob as a forefather of the promised Seed was no arbitrary choice or unreasonable favoritism on the part of Jehovah God.Esau's lack of appreciation for spiritual things,coupled with his strong tendency toward satisfying fleshly desires,made Esau unfit to be in the direct line of the promised Seed.Hence,Jehovah's words,through his prophet Malachi:"But I have loved Jacob,and Esau I have hated".
Esau is set forth as an warning example to Christians so that they will not be guilty,as was Esau the materialist,of lack of appreciation for sacred or spiritual things(Heb.12:16).

Answer 3

He did not hated Esau but merely disciplined him for killing his brother just like a parent would to their children. This does not mean that God hated Esau because He still put a mark on Esau's forehead so that others won't dare to kill him.

Answer 4

I dont remember it saying that anywere. not to mention that Jesus and Esau are from different times. they never even meet.

Why did God love Jacob and hate Esau (Malachi 1:3; Romans 9:13)?




Question: "Why did God love Jacob and hate Esau (Malachi 1:3; Romans 9:13)?"



Answer: Malachi 1:2-3 declares, “’I have loved you,’” says the LORD. But you ask, 'How have you loved us?' ‘Was not Esau Jacob's brother?’ the LORD says. ‘Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.’ Malachi 1:2-3 is quoted an alluded to in Romans 9:10-13, “Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac. Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad — in order that God's purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who calls — she was told, ‘The older will serve the younger.’ Just as it is written: ‘Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.’” Why did God love Jacob and hate Esau? If God is love (1 John 4:8,16), how could He hate anyone?



When studying the Bible, it is crucially important to always study the context of a particular Bible verse or passage. In these instances, the Prophet Malachi and the Apostle Paul are using the name “Esau” to refer to the Edomites, who were the descendants of Esau. Isaac and Rebekah had two sons, Esau and Jacob. God chose Jacob (whom He later renamed Israel) to be the father of His chosen people, the Israelites. God rejected Esau (who was also called Edom), and did not choose him to be the father of His chosen people. Esau’s and his descendants, the Edomites, were in many ways blessed by God (Genesis 33:9; Genesis chapter 36).



So, considering the context, God loving Jacob and hating Esau has nothing to do with the human emotions of love and hate. It has everything to do with God choosing one man and his descendants and rejecting another man and his descendants. God choose Abraham out of all the men in the world. The Bible very well could say, “Abraham I loved, and every other man I hated.” God choose Abraham’s son Isaac instead of Abraham’s son Ishmael. The Bible very well could say, “Isaac I loved, and Ishmael I hated.” Romans chapter 9 makes it abundantly clear that loving Jacob and hating Esau was entirely related to which of them God chose. Hundreds of years after Jacob and Esau had died, the Israelites and Edomites became bitter enemies. The Edomites often aided Israel’s enemies in attacks on Israel. Esau’s descendants brought God’s curse on themselves. Genesis 27:29, “May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.”

Answer 6

He's not god; but anyway Bible God hated Esau as he's a hypocrite.
