Of course God doesn't love the people in hell, why would anyone say something so dumb?
Those people are in hell already.
God DID love them, past tense, by sending His son to die for their sins. But they spit at God's face and now pay the price for it. Too late for love
“God DID love them, past tense, by sending His son to die for their sins.”
i agree. God offers salvation to all because he loves mankind he loves people which he created but because we know and do both good and evil we need to choose the good because evil and those who serve and perpetuate it have a violent and certain end.
jesus gives us the reason to choose the good to trust him with our salvation and listen to his word promising it trusting that he’s going to lead us home and not astray.
The first reason being no matter what human you are , Jesus died to pay the penalty of suffering and death for your sins against God and others. There’s no other acceptable atonement for sinners other than Jesus the son of God suffering and dying for our sin it’s the only thing God accepts.
So then , while it can save anyone , if we reject it we have no other atonement and will die in our sins
“I said therefore unto you, that
ye shall die in your sins: for
if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
John 8:24
Wheras if we do believe in Jesus we have remission of sins through his name.
“To him give
all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”
Acts 10:43 KJV
Of course this is early doctrine we all have heard and know
“Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and
to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2:38-39 KJV
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that
believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
we don’t want to go to hell but eventually even those in hell must be raised up and judged by Jesus
“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.”
Revelation 20:13
God has told mankind about good and evil and the end of both ways , if we believe him and follow what he’s said we’ll live . If we reject what he’s said and create other ways or no ways at all we’ll die.
he told mankind the truth all along since the fruit and the controversy that arose with the lie. He told cain also the truth but some people don’t believe him and so they end up just as he warns us about whatever the case may be.
it will always be like he said good or bad . Gods love for man also needs to be considered “ if there’s one evil man terrorizing the other decent folks in a group is it love for the group to allow the one terrorizing and victimizing all the others to go on about it ?
If you punish a grown criminal according to the words of a law they were aware of , does this mean you lack love for them ?
Or does it mean they disregarded your warnings and instructions you gave them because you love them and wanted them to live and not be punished ?
weve erased all forms of our own responsability with the term “ grace “
but the Bible teaches us we need to take responsibility for our actions because we’re surely going to be judged according to them.
God loves man but man is also free to eat of any tree and we need to choose the ones God says won’t harm us
