John, I await your reply. It should be interesting to see if you think you have not "cancelled out" the meaning of Rom 9:13 with John 3:16. Do you really think they are incompatible scriptures, and Believers must choose one or the other? Or are they BOTH true? You seem to not believe the first one, and wish to explain away the meaning of "hate" with a word study. Maybe it really means "loved"? Izzy

John, do you reconcile these passages together in your mind, or do you just dismiss Romans 9:13 because you like reading John 3:16 better? John says: When I get back to my library, I will deal with this issue. I will not answer the question posed above, however, because it implies a shallowness on my part that I do not care to debate. See you on the back side of the Rockies. John ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
