Jealousy.
Jealousy is a complex subject. Jealousy involves both hate and love. As human beings, we are limited. Not only are we incomplete but we are immature in many things.
As humans we can both hate and love something but most of the time, hate wins. It is why Jesus said.....
Luk 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Yet, with Divinity/Deity....... God is not limited as us. God is a jealous God. There are reasons that God hates and that hatred is never relative to His own actions. NEVER. It is relative to the actions of those He actually loves.
There is no Godly Jealousy without love.
2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with Godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ
Notice the appeal to "Godly Jealousy".
So when the Calvinist claims that God in Eternity past hated Esau without a cause (which is exactly what they claim).... they have no Scriptural basis to make such claims. Such claims come from their own limited abilities and carnality. It has nothing to do with God.
