Does God "hate the World and the Flesh" if he "so loved the World" that He came into the "flesh" to save Her?

    I believe these are references to two different scriptures dealing with distinctly different subjects. As always God wants us to understand his word so taking the scriptures in their context will no doubt clarify the sense of what is being said..

    God so loved the world is a metaphor for people. Like Jesus died for the sins of the world.

    No, He has set specific laws of how to live and hates the lies from Satan on how ELSE to live. This is the problem Adam and Eve had. God said to live they did not need that fruit and Satan said they did. Adam and Eve fell for the lies. When Jesus did His ministry, the whole point was to dispel the lies of Satan that have had more success than the truth of God and people were suffering and wondering why.

    Only by the logic of a fool IAND THAT WOULD BE YOU) does that even make sense.

    It has to be understood within the proper context, and a lot of Christians don't even know how to see it. I can tell you though.

    When John 3:16 and other places tells you how God "so loves the world" he is talking about the world of believers; those who put their trust (pisteuo) in him. In John 14 and other places, Jesus talks about "the world" in a way to where it is not possible; they are unable to know him through his Spirit.

    This means God didn't give it to everyone to know him, to be saved, to have peace with him. "The World" in the John 14:17 context has to do with the world of the unchosen; which is most of the world. God never chose them "from before the world was formed", "the world" in this case meaning the earth; the planet we are on. So an entirely different but predictable context.

    So, God sees people as either chosen or not chosen, responding to him as saved or unsaved.

    If ifs and buts were candy and nuts . . . . your question would still make no sense but I wouldn't be so damn hungry.
