I got that God hates the sin but not the sinner type thing. God hated the things that Esau would produce. Here was a key phrase to me. “by God’s wishing some greater good, which cannot be without the privation of a lesser good”. So God hated Esau because he would produce something that would hinder the greater good. That is a spot on observation ,CB.
I will FRmail you some of Aquinas writings that I think you will enjoy from the Notre Dame site when I get back from my trip .
