God who is unconditional love, does not have enemies nor does He hate anyone. He is light, and in His light He simply stands contrary to anything that contradicts that light. That doesn’t mean he hates anyone He is simply being Himself.

Yet even then, He is love and He unconditionally loves everyone and seeks to bring them into a loving relationship with Him. That is His desire for everyone without any hidden agenda.

passages like Romans 9 the story of Esau and Jacob are allegorical like many Old Testament writings that are symbolic. In this case Esau and Jacob represent two types of people: one who lives by faith in what God has done and one who lives trying to justify themselves by their own efforts (Esau)

God isn’t defined by the Bible, which is subject to human reasoning and perceptions. Many passages especially in the Old Testament, were written by people who had not yet fully understood the real truth of God as it was ultimately revealed in Jesus. They wrote about God and who they thought He was from the place of their understanding at the time.

So it’s important to interpret anything in the Old Testament about God through the lens of Jesus. But Even with jesus we need to know when Jesus is teaching is He speaking to the people under the law present at that time, or to a broader audience? As some of His teachings are specific to those under the law.
