I just want to clarify something; "brother" in that context refers to brother in Christ. It is not refer to fellow human being.
Christians are instructed to hate evil and evildoers while preaching repentance and the gospel to them.
Scripture gives us the standards by which to judge, by God's standards, not by our own. And as Christians we are instructed to do so. Without judgment there is no need for repentance. Without repentance the gospel has no power.
God loves the elect. His children that are adopted through the blood of Jesus christ. Those outside of Christ are of their father the devil. They are children of wrath as the Bible calls them, not God's children.
Now forgiving the wicked and evildoers is something else entirely. As Christians we are instructed to forgive. Holding on to unforgiveness is a sin.
I was once a part of watered down churches that taught a one sided God of only love which lead to a watered down version of Christianity. Thankfully God lead me to a solid church (that never closed or had a mask mandate during the DEMpanic) and I have a much better understanding of God and His word thanks to the wonderful teaching and leadership there. My church also wrote part of the amicus brief that overturned Roe v Wade.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall straighten thy path. Proverbs 3 5/6
Its interesting you differentiate between the elect and children of Satan. That all started on the 6th day. So, whats the difference between Adam/Eve and the "beasts of the field?"
Yes, God does hate.
Being forgiven can be reversed.
In terms of His elect, the following link is a surefire guide to discerning wheat and tares. Those that believe any of these are automatically suspect:

This is very well said. I read this out loud to others. And as she said, “it doesn’t get more clearer said than that.”
So thank you for posting this.

Take you troubles to the cross and leave them there fren.
Loving and forgiveness for our enemies is the hardest thing for me. I just remind myself that Our Father loves and forgives us everyday.
I fall short each day. But I know that I am God's beloved child and that gives me joy, hope & peace.
Father, Please take this anger out my frens heart, mind & spirit. Give Him Your peace, joy & hope. Put Your calm loving spirit in him daily. Amen!
