Now THAT is another Gospel.
God loves everyone. (John 3:16; 1 John 2:2; Romans 5:8). His love in not conditional, it is based only on the fact that God is love and is a God of love (1 John 4:8, 16). Gods love for all of mankind is proved by His mercy by not immediately punishing people for their sins (Romans 3:23; 6:23). Gods love for the world is manifested in the fact that He gives people the opportunity to repent (2 Peter 3:9).
However, Gods love for the world does not mean He will ignore sin. Sin is the choice of self before God and God loves us enough to honor our choice. The most loving act of eternity is described in Romans 5:8, But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God loves everyone unconditionally in that He shows mercy to everyone by not destroying them immediately because of their sin.
"No Danny, God loves those that are His.."Now THAT is another Gospel.
Yes it is, it's the Gospel of God.
Amazing that anyone could think that God does not love those that are his, or that he does not hate anyone.
Here's some Bible:
Malachi 1 King James Version (KJV)This was posted earlier, did you see it? It's from the Bible1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.
2 I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Prov. 6:16-19, "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."Hosea 9:15, "All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels."
