John Calvin's Heretical Teaching

This isnt about what man does, this is about God hated some people, they were excluded from His Love Rom 9:13

13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Ps 5:5
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Now if you believe God loved these individuals, you flat out oppose scripture.

Stop TWISTING the Bible for your warped theology!
 
Why does God say that we are to LOVE our enemies?

Because He LOVES them and wants them saved
Probably not the reason that WE are to love them ...
  • Deuteronomy 32:35 [NKJV] 35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in [due] time; For the day of their calamity [is] at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.'
  • Romans 12:19 [NKJV] 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but [rather] give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
  • Hebrews 10:30 [NKJV] 30 For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people."
... more likely because WE are not GOD.

Do you love your enemies?

Do you love family members who are against God and probably hate God?

Do you ever pray for the Lord to save every single person in the world?

Do you weep for those who are going into eternal punishment?
 
Now prove this wrong
Malachi 1:1-5 [NASB]
The pronouncement of the word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi:
“I have loved you,” says the LORD. But you say, “How have You loved us?” “Was Esau not Jacob’s brother?” declares the LORD. “Yet I have loved Jacob; but I have hated Esau, and I have made his mountains a desolation and given his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness.” Though Edom says, “We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins”; this is what the LORD of armies says: “They may build, but I will tear down; and people will call them the territory of wickedness, and the people with whom the LORD is indignant forever.” And your eyes will see this, and you will say, “The LORD be exalted beyond the border of Israel!”

Talk to me of God's deep love of Esau and the Edomites.
A love demonstrated in:
  • "but I have hated Esau" - said God
  • made his mountains a desolation
  • given his inheritance to the jackals
  • "We have been beaten down" - said Edom
  • "we will return and build up the ruins"- said Edom ... "They may build, but I will tear down" - said God
  • "people will call them the territory of wickedness"
  • "the people with whom the LORD is indignant forever.”
God's WORD proves you wrong.
