Hate is. I think wrath is hate. Therefore the wrath of God means that God did not so loved the whole world. Don't you think wrath is hate?

Yall are either liars or are gullible listening to all of the preachers and not reading scriptures that I have showed many times in my answers on this forum. Love which is God does very much have hate inside of Him. It is not yin and yang. He has Love for certain people and hate for certain people.
\ Wrath is a form of anger. In man it is too often accompanied by excess in retribution, and is partial.
God's wrath is a setting right that which is wrong. That of course causes suffering to wrongdoers and those who promote wrong. Wrath is only hate in that wrongdoing is hated, and you have distorted it.
The Bible has always been clear that there are certain things God hates. He hates lies and, therefore, unrepentant liars, but repentant liars can be forgiven and experience His love. The love of God is available but no unrepentant rebel against His sovereignty will experience it. But they could. If they heeded God's warnings about His wrath that is coming upon all wickedness, they could be spared that wrath. But if they will not come to God repentantly, they will experience His wrath.
You can think what you like about hate, but righteous wrath is deserving, and that's why the day of wrath is coming on rebellious humanity. But it will come in order to restore all Creation to its perfect equilibrium which was only ruined by hatred of God. He loves the world so much, He gave His only-begotten Son so that all whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. That still holds good. But if someone tries to throw that love back in God's face by doing hateful things, they will eventually experience the wrath of God. And He's given us plenty of warning about that: "But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed" Romans 2:5-6
God’s Anger. Anger may be justified or unjustified. On God’s part, his anger is always justified, being based on principle dictated by his right to exclusive devotion and his constancy in upholding truth.
It is governed by his love for righteousness and for those practicing righteousness.
Divine anger does not stem from a momentary whim, to be later regretted. God sees all the issues involved in a matter and has complete, entire knowledge of a situation.
He reads the heart; he notes the degree of ignorance, negligence, or willful sin; and he acts with impartiality. Act 10:34, 35
God’s anger is always under control and in harmony with his attributes of love, wisdom, and justice.
God does so love the whole world still because we are living in the period or dispensation of God's grace still, that's why He came down to earth Himself, in the flesh and blood body of Jesus Christ to SAVE US ALL FROM OUR SINS, We didn't deserve it. We deserved to die for our sins and Christ who was innocent deserved to live, but because God LOVES US SO MUCH, HE CAME and was PUNISHED FOR US in flesh, so that we could go free.
Nobody else has ever lived and loved unconditionally as God does. We still have time to repent and be saved now, UNTIL - that's a time word - UNTIL the period of His WRATH comes - then watch out everyone who has rejected Jesus Christ's sacrifice for their sins, because it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31).
God has explained that if every transgression and disobedience received a just reward - "How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation which first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed by those who heard it?" (Hebrews 2: 2 & 3).
"See that you do not refuse Him who speaks, for if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth (Jesus Christ) - how much more shall we NOT ESCAPE if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven?" etc (Hebrews 12:25) These are stark warnings of the danger of those who refuse God's Salvation which He sent through His Son Jesus Christ who was God in flesh (John 1:14) and was God with us - Emmanuel (Matthew 1: 23 & 25)
God is very slow to wrath so it takes forever for His wrath to boil over to such an extent that He will return to this earth "In flaming fire, TAKING VENGEANCE, on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and THESE WILL BE PUNISHED, with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from His power, etc." (2 Thessalonians 8: & 9)
This will not happen until the VERY END - when God's wrath against His enemies will have boiled up to such a pitch that Jesus Christ will return and tread the winepress of the WRATH of Almighty God, because He will be able to contain it no longer.
Until then, God is longsuffering not willing that ANYONE PERISH but that ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE and be saved. So waste no time if you are not yet saved. It's important to receive Christ's sacrifice for your sins today - "Behold TODAY is the day of your salvation, NOW is the accepted time" (11 Corinthians 6: 2)
