[Rube23]

The quote by Spurgeon speaks of grace and love. Maybe this has also been covered in this thread, but if God chooses one and not another is his love greater for the chosen? In my study of scripture, God does not seem to be discriminate in who he lavishes his love upon.

"In my study of scripture, God does not seem to be discriminate in who he lavishes his love upon."

Did you forget to read the entire Old Testament? Did God love the Egyptian first-born as much as He loved the children of Israel?

Did God love the Caananites as much as He loved Joshua?

Did God love the Philistines as much as He loved David?

Or the New Testament. Did God love Judas Iscariot as much as He loved Peter, James, and John?

Did God love Agrippa as much as he loved Paul?

God does not love indiscriminately. he loves those upon whom He chooses to lavish His love.
