Does God hate Adam because he ate of the tree? Does God hate Cain because he murdered his brother? Does God hate the individual because he chooses or acts out of his dysfunction? 'for God so loved the World......' Can you separate the dysfunction from the dysfunctional?

APAK, consider Daniel's approach while being in the service of King Nebuchadnezzar? What practices is it supposed Nebuchadnezzar engaged for Daniel to politely asked him to let up on his sins? .....and another, what practices do we think the Roman soldiers were guilty of and willingly engaged...
