Somehow, they just can’t believe Christ would love the rest of us as much as He loves them; they are so special, you know.

God loves all equally but not all love HIM, HIS Word. People don't like to hear that because that puts them accountable for their own actions/decisions. They like the warm and fuzzy PC God - God is love - so I'm home free. God doesn't go against His Word and those that believe on HIS WORD ALONE know that.

If all that is required to attain eternal life is God's love, there would have been no reason for Jesus to give His life. God loves all and He gave all. The ball is in everyone's court to hear and obey or not. And according to Scripture we know many don't.

BTW, a child doesn't lose the love of it's parents when they are locked up for a consequence of their own choice nor can love stop the suffering due to their child's own choice. Being accountable for one's own actions/decisions is repellent to the coddled who want their 'own way'. In God's KINGDOM, there is ONLY WAY, JESUS, The Word.

I’m going to go with the tax collectors (yes, I know one) the sinners, and the rest of the rabble and sit by the cradle of Baby Jesus, and watch Mary’s smile as she looks at him by Starlight......Can you see the arrogance, the superior “church lady” smirk?

Sure can!

Let's look at what I really said in post 600:

Now, I KNOW you are all going to tsk tsk and say, “What hate!” because that’s what you do. But look in the mirror — can you see your own eyes? Can you see the arrogance, the superior “church lady” smirk?

As for me, I’m going to go with the tax collectors (yes, I know one) the sinners, and the rest of the rabble and sit by the cradle of Baby Jesus, and watch Mary’s smile as she looks at him by Starlight.

Your quote made a falsehood out of my statements. Changing around the phrasing to suit a Catholic hating agenda is not only bearing false witness, it smears the character of the one doing it.

Your actions are clear to everyone here.

I have news: This is, by and large, a forum filled with grownups. Any adult KNOWS that we will all face God someday and as Revelation says, He will judge us according to our works. A "warm and fuzzy PC God" is a fake -- our God is mightier than any sin, any evil, and has conquered it all to save us. The Child in the manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, would grow up to face the worst the world had to offer, and would be victorious. That is the God we need.

Do you think it is wrong to state a falsehood about what other people believe? The evidence indicates you do not. It is possible that you will learn otherwise.

PNSM: God loves all equally but not all love HIM, HIS Word. People don't like to hear that because that puts them accountable for their own actions/decisions.

So do you then believe in free will? The choice to choose or reject God?

And you are very correct that

"God loves all equally but not all love HIM, HIS Word."

"If all that is required to attain eternal life is God's love, there would have been no reason for Jesus to give His life. God loves all and He gave all. The ball is in everyone's court to hear and obey or not. And according to Scripture we know many don't. "

--> but again that is not Calvinist teaching, correct, Metmom, rnmomof7?

IIRC Calvinists have admonished others for saying that God loves all of mankind.
