I'd like to assure you that I do not derive sexual pleasure out of pain (masochistic).
I'm trying to counter widely held beliefs about God and the Bible that I feel are false

Just so you know. The hebrew term there does not literally mean hate
It means to "Love less"
The law says we are to love our parent's and honor them. And in fact Jesus himself tells us to love all people.
Yet look what jesus said
Luke 14:26
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
Now is Jesus telliing us to go against his own command to love and honor them? Or is he telling us the hebrew thought of loving less.
Ie, Jesus is telling us if we put any of these people over god Ilove them more) we can not be his disciple?

"to me, world means world"
"For God so loved the world" refers to the fact that Jesus was speaking to a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews (John 16:1) who believed that only the Jews were saved to the exclusion of the rest of the world. John 3:18 and 19 clear up any question about the matter.

Yes.
Romans 5
5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
5:11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
