expect that He be forced to show His love towards all

I don't expect that.

My questions tend to make people nervous. I'm a marriage counselor and I don't know how to make it stop, even when I'm home. I use questions, allow people to speak for themselves, and then summarize their answers. I apologize for all the questions, but that is how I converse.

You said that you believe God is All Powerful. You said that God is POWERFUL ENOUGH, if He so desired, to provide mankind with REAL FREE CHOICE, i.e., the real capability to make unemcumbered decisions.

You also said that God is Perfect Love.

Do you believe that Perfect Love would look something like: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. ?????

"You also said that God is Perfect Love."

Sorry, but I said: God loves perfectly. There is a difference. (You need to make sure that you summarize answers correctly.)

Note also, that I did not say: " You said that God is POWERFUL ENOUGH, if He so desired, to provide mankind with REAL FREE CHOICE", that is your construction.

If you desire to have an honest conversation on this thread, please do not put words in my, or anyone else's posts.

That said, what is your point in quoting from I Corinthians 13? Do you expect that God's patience knows no end? Or, do you expect that He will act as He has proclaimed in His Word, and bring punishment upon those who hate Him?
