A couple of things. First can you point to any text in the bible that says that God always intended to save everyone on the planet?
Or can you provide any biblical proof wherein it is said in scripture that God loves each and every person on the planet? (Please spare me of Jn 3:16, for you would have to prove first that the term "world" is used in the distributive sense.)
Regarding my first question, you probably missed my 3044 in which I wrote a 15-pt. argument wherein the preponderance of evidence strongly concludes that God sovereignly decreed the salvation of only one of our first parents. I would invite you to read that argument.
And regarding the second question, are you aware that there are numerous passages in the bible that teach us that God hates sinners? Since this IS in fact the case, God cannot possibly love and hate sinners at the same time.
Oh boy. wow, thank you for your intellectualness. Amazing how we as people, each born with the knowledge of good and evil. grow up to see what is good for us and bad for others.then argue about it, who is right and who is wrong
Show me and I will believe you attitude, I am right and you are wrong attitudes all movers of this world, Claiming Love and yet do not love to all. Only to those each chooses to love as if are god's and know better than others, thank you, I know nothing, God to me knows all and loves us all, otherwise, why did God in Son go to that cross and not fight back, back then?
You want proof, God loves us all, good or bad alike, wow, woe is me, I need not prove a thing. God has written down his word(s) to us the people to read and see. That began at Moses, God telling Moses all that had gone on from day one of the first Adam in failure of belief to God
This I see now, not always, God does love us all, how?
Jesus the Son as One (Won) at the cross in his willing death first, without a flesh fight back at all, even stopped Peter from waring in the flesh as he had pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of Malchus , trying to stop him from taking Jesus away.
Since you do not see this truth about willingness from you the self to God Father of the Son Jesus, that, to me, makes people blind, It did me, especially every time I was in doubt to God, the creator of all I see and do not see at the same time, because of doubt, I kick myself out of seeing truth over the errors here in this world still.
Read the Bible as. a Love letter to you from God to you, and do not strain out gnats, I used to do that and saw me swallowing camels over it in hey you I am right, you are wrong attitudes of the flesh nature playing god. Prove you are right and others are wrong, as if you are God, please
God simply loves you and all others too!!!!!!!
1 John 2:1-12
Authorized (King James) Version
2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2
and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
First, by willing death of one person, the Son Jesus, all people are forgiven by God , All. Whoever does not believe God, in his reconciliation through Son given them by Son for them are as dead. Good hates Sin, Sin is "Unbelief" to God, loves you as in 1 Cor 13:4-7 states what true love is for us all to see, believe and be new in, at least for me
Therefore, no John 3:16 for you as you said to not do. Okay
Ephesians 1:1-13
Authorized (King James) Version
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 grace
be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;
even in him: 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Colossians 1:1-23
Authorized (King James) Version
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus
our brother, 2 to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love
which ye have to all the saints, 5 for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6 which is come unto you, as
it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as
it doth also in you, since the day ye heard
of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 7 as ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 8 who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard
it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12 giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated
us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins: 15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all
things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased
the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him,
I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23 if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
