Yes, I believe God loves everyone, and you believe God hates most. That is how we interpret GW differently.

An obvious question to ask when speaking about God's requirement for salvation is, “What is GRFS for those who have never heard of Jesus?” (which includes everyone living B.C. and millions of people who have lived A.D.) If God loves the world (JN 3:16) and wants everyone to be saved (2TM...

Yes, nature is the ongoing first divine miracle, which science has discovered operates in accordance with laws of physics, which are downstream from metaphysics.

From the beginning and indeed the purpose of creation was predestined by God to save or elect all sinners who repented, sought salvation and became spiritually one with Christ via His grace through faith. The Bible says that God loves and wants to save all sinners, but some foolishly resist His...

Okay, I just cited Rom.5:6-10 instead.

I reflect God's love to you and everyone, although imperfectly, just as we all should. I hate my own sins as well as yours and everyone's, just as God does, because such hatred is indeed a virtue. A verse that says God loves sinners and his enemies is Rom5:6-10.

Yes, no one is above God, but we would know much less about God if the NT did not contain the gospels and epistles of the apostles, so they are above the rest of us messengers.

Okay. John3:16 Ahh. That worked. Thanks!

Thanks for the Scriptures you think support TULIP, but a proper hermeneutic should also cite Scriptures supporting MFW-- and propose an interpretation that harmonizes them.

Okay, I will try that now: Well, that was weird. Refreshing deleted the JN3:16 reference I had typed after the That made "colon" disappear that was after "the" I replied and saw no blue which I am now letting you know by editing the post.

You are not aware that a major NT theme is spiritual unity among all Christians? Disunity irks/grieves God! (And if I am wrong, I want to know why and amend the website :^)

Love for his children and friends is conditional if the lover does not love all children and enemies too.

My circular arrow is black. Does the toggle icon being black or blue have anything to do with this?

In the realm of faith, one does not walk by proof, but these Scriptures obviously provide evidence that God's love is unconditional, so why do you not share the same Spirit but instead kick against His goad? Apparently it is because you did not discern in JN 3:16 that although God's love is...

Yes, but I see no difference between 1JN 4:7-12 and 1John4:7-12 in this reply, so how do I make it turn blue?

Paul described the preaching of the Gospel as being empowered by the HS (in 1THS 1:5), and he prayed that the Ephesians would experience the same power that God exerted when He raised Christ from death to His right hand in heaven (EPH 1:18-20). Similarly, Paul prayed that God would empower the...

Re "Elsewhere, Scripture uses milk as a metaphor for the basic essentials of the gospel and Christian living. In Hebrews 5:12–14, the writer speaks of milk and solid food to encourage readers to move beyond “the elementary truths of God’s word” (verse 12). Paul likewise references milk in 1...

No, the "Sour 16" exhort the saved to persevere. Yes, God should get all glory for gracing sinful humanity with the possibility of eternal joy in heaven. God opens our eyes to spiritual truth as we learn GW. The problematic part of Calvinism is the TULIP dogma.

True, and everyone is born to die, so the existential need and desire for eternal life and ultimate justice (the duo of desirables or DOD) make it logical for truthseekers to have a propensity to hope and believe a God who provides the DOD exists, to determine the most credible revelation of...

Just remember to walk by faith, not by feelings. Also, be faithful in learning GW so that you will have a reservoir of Truth on which to draw in times of spiritual drought.
