If you really ‘teach the Bible’ you should be familiar with the verse in Deuteronomy that explicitly says that God loves only those who love him back. This is not a tenable description of s being who the Bible describes as love itself.

People who hate God, walk away from God. And people have the right to do so.
Thanks.

Then how can you square the Biblical phrase ‘God is love’ with God’s stated ability to hate?
