If "God so loved the world" (John 3:16) meant God loves everybody, then why does David say "You hate all who do iniquity" (Psalm 5:5)? Why was Esau not loved like Jacob, but hated? (Malachi 1-3)

Did the Bible lie about God? Does it say in one place that He loves all people while in another he hates all who do iniquity? If He loves everybody, like millions believe, then why does it say He hated Esau?

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God. — Romans 2:28-29

Guy, that’s the New Testament it doesn’t mean anything to a Jew.

Some Jews are elect, they will believe the gospel just like Paul did, who is also a Jew.
