How can God love Jacob and hate esau Just as it is written 'Jacob I Loved but Esau I hated.' Romans 913 NASB?
We see that God loved Jacob and hated Esau not because of anything that they did, but because of "God's purpose according to His choice," (v. 11). Is this fair for God to do? Yes it is.First of all, whatever God does is fair. God can do no wrong, so if He loves one and hates another, it is fair. Second, God owes us nothing. He is not obligated to love anyone. He loves out of the freedom of His will and plan, not because of anything in us. He loves because of what is in Him. Third, all people are by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:3). This means that because we are all fallen and because we are all sinners, the "fair" thing to do is to let us all go to hell. Fairness deals with what is right. Since it is only God who is holy and pure and right, and not us, it is perfectly fair that all of us sinners be judged and condemned by God. But, God does not choose to do that. Instead, He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins so that we might be saved (John 3:16; 1 Peter 2:24).So, yes it is fair that God loves one and hates another. It is not fair, however, that God would send His Son to die for us so that we might be saved. That wasn't fair. That was sacrificial love.http://www.carm.org/questions/about-god/it-fair-god-love-jacob-and-hate-esauAnother answer is, God chose Jacob and not Esau (which came here hated, but if we read it carefully it is: "for though the twins were not yet born, and had not done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose according to His choice might stand, not because of works, but because of Him who calls, 12it was said to her, "The older will serve the younger." 13Just as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated," (Rom. 9:11-13, NASB). So they had not done anything good or bad in order for God to hate Esau and love Jacob. So why did God choose Jacob instead of Esau? Because Jacob doesn't deserve. To show that the coming of Jesus Christ to the world did not depend on who deserves, but depended on the grace of God for all the people. Does this mean that God will refuse Esau in the eternal life? No, I believe we will find Esau in the heaven. Did God refuse Esau in earth? We saw that God gave him alot and alot. So here we see the plan of God for people, that God chose to come to the world from Abraham, from Isaac, from Jacob who does not deserve. But did the Christ came to chosen and certain people? ofcourse not, the Christ came for everyone who believes in him and believes in the grace of God.
Did ishmael and esau worship the same god as Abraham?

Who were the two twins of Isacc and rebekah?
Your are probably referring to Jacob and Esau. They were twins born to Isaac and Rebekah. God chose Jacob to continue the Hebrew (Israel) race and He rejected Esau.

The Bible does not say that God chose Jacob; in fact Jacob's success is explained in the Bible as coming about by Jacob's repeated unethical conduct, which would presumably be anathema to God.
Does Allah hate anyone?
God is our creator and a creator, creates. Hate is an overpowering and destructive emotion that compels one to destroy. Does love destroy or build upon? For love to be destructive is completely illogical and irrelevant to debate. So therefore, does God hate? The only clear answer is NO!In the book of Malachi 1:2,3 states" 2. I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,3. And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.Another perspective:No. The Bible reveals that God does NOT hate anyone as an individual, not even the vilest of sinners (John 3:16, Romans 5:8, 2 Peter 3:9). The object of God's hatred is sin itself, in all its manifestations. (As just a few examples, see Proverbs 8:13, Jeremiah 44:4, Hosea 9:15, Zechariah 8:16, 17, Revelation 2:15). Even the reference to Esau in Malachi 1:3 is not to do with his person, but with his reprobate nature, and that of his descendants, the Edomites.
What did God promise Esau?
Nothing. God spoke to Jacob but never to Esau. Isaac, Esau's father, promised (prophesied) that Esau would have a fruitful land and would have successes in war (living by the sword). Genesis ch.27.

When God got mad at Esau to whom did God gave Esau's inheritance instead?
There is no evidence from the Bible itself, that God got mad at Esau. Esau surrendered his birthright because he valued food more highly. This is a case of 'short term gain, long term pain.' It also was prophesied, even before birth, that the birthright belonged to Jacob. 'The elder shall serve the younger.'

Was Jacob or Esau really evil?
It is missing the mark to think of either Jacob or Esau as evil. The story of the twins is obviously mythical in its origin, as evidenced by the passage that tells of them fighting in the womb and the new-born Jacob holding onto Esau's heel (Genesis 25:26). Jacob was successful because of his deceit, but was nevertheless favoured by the Israelites over Esau, and they came to believe him to be their real forefather. Arguably the earliest origins of the myth were of Jacob as the moon god, while Esau was the sun god. Esau was red and hairy (Genesis 25:25) just as the sun was depicted. The early Israelites favoured the moon god, for which we can see many allusions in the Old Testament, and Esau went to the east, where the sun rises. The ancient Near Eastern myths saw constant tension between the moon god and the sun god, each vying for the attention of their father. A fragment of the story of the rivalry between the two, although Esau is not named, is the famous one of Jacob wrestling all night with a god who had to leave when the sun rose.
