Uh huh. You've arbitrarily decided that that particular passage in your bible excludes some people from the world. K.
Do you honestly think that it says that every person that ever lived is included? Because the same verse goes on to say that those that would believe will believe. The next couple of verses state that those that don't, are condemned.

I think that it's convenient to exclude people from the "world" if you want to believe that the God who IS love actually hates.
what else would? if not the creator of everything?
He is not the author of evil. Sin is the rebellion against him. The first sin was likely Lucifer rebelling against God. The first human sin was Adam disobeying God, and sin entered the human race.
He created people that were then tainted by sin, which he hates. He hates the people as a result.
Soooo.....when you're relaxing at the post office drinking coffee with the town gossips do you toss that stuff into the conversation? If so....do you find them saying things like, "Excuse me, preacher, but I just remembered I need to start slaughtering the hogs." (?)
