That is not quite Calvin’s teaching . . .

It's a fair paraphrase of some of Institutes I.18.

Please explain. Are you saying God permits what He hates...or that he decrees what He hates? Nothing is done but by God’s decree per Calvin’s teaching and Reformed theology.

What is the meaning of hate if it is decreed towards God’s creatures UNILATERALLY (Esau have I hated) in a way similar to love (Jacob have I loved)? The God of Calvinism hates some and loves others because He chose to do so within Himself, and not because of any action of His creatures.

Again, please clarify.
