Does God hate?


One of the things I hear many people say is God doesn't hate anything.  In Kalamazoo, MI there are a lot of sings in people's front yards that says "Hate doesn't live here".  People say it as if it is a virtuous thing. 

But is it?  I would say no.  Scripture is very clear that God hates evil.  When you point that out then the virtue signalers will admit that is correct but they will fall back to "well yeah but God doesn't hate any person.  God loves everybody." 

Do you think that is true?  Again I would say no.  And here is a Scripture to prove it.

Romans 9:10-13(NKJV)
And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 
(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), 
it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.”  
As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.” 

Now let me be clear that I am not suggesting we go around hating everybody.  I'm simply pointing out that hate in and of itself isn't bad or immoral.  There are times when hate is justified.  How do I know?  Because Scripture tells us that in certain cases God hated and we know that God isn't immoral.
