How is that a personal attack, Doc? He says he's troubled by the view, which seems to be more prevalent among young people newly infatuated with Reformed doctrine, who insist God cannot love the reprobate. Where is he attacking anyone's character, credibility, etc?

WHO INSISTS THAT GOD CANNOT "LOVE" THE REPROBATE?

It's a phony argument, and MacArthur knows it.

If "love" means the rain and sun and a satellite dish on your TV, yes, God loves the whole world. It's His creation. God rightly loves what He made, all for His glory.

See Ksen's post #233.

If "love" means saving faith in Jesus Christ, God does not love all the world, because He created some for glory and some for the fire.
