Well sure the last verse of the text says "O house of Israel" so what you're here claiming then is God does not universally look at the wicked the same way. Now sure there's the wicked who choose to repent which could be said to be different but that text doesn't specify they would repent. So...

Nope he shows special favor towards those who are in Covenant relationship with him. There's a world of difference between favor and love. GOD LOVES all men.

Yes for sin but not people. If God hated people who sinned that is in the way that Calvinists insist he would never ever say the following, in Ezekiel 33 Say to them: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should...

Wow! What a stunning account you give here! So what you're saying there's people who are in that camp today because they were deceived into thinking God doesn't love them due to Calvinistic claims. I'm surprised there hasn't been one Calvinist here even to give comment of your post. I'd...

Sorry SG you're misinformed. The verse above does not mean God hated Esau as an individual. Where in Gen 25 do you read such a thing? Not there. All you read is the elder shall serve the younger. It wasn't until Malachi 1 at the end of the OT thousands of years later where Esau is brought up...

Why don't you just acknowledge what the verse plainly said? You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and...

Well I'll say this that God tells us not to seek vengeance Rom 12:9 for God is LOVE and knows best if there should be such or not. But no....what does he tell us here.....he said be you perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect Matt 5:48 and LOVE is the bond of perfection. Col 3:14 Plus he...

Ha...No my friend....It does not. :Wink

Dear Friend....did you not read in one word I said in post 33? Not even one? I did not deny those scriptures about hate are there! Didn't I clearly reveal there's a different way such a word "hate" can be understood? Well Dave it's you and your fellow Calvinists which are limiting God's...

An interesting question. First a couple of scriptures you put down, Psalm 15:4 Psalm 5:5 Seems like a denial of the clear text to say that he doesn't "hate" BUT....other things we need to look at as well. Jesus told us to LOVE our enemies. Would God tell us do something he wasn't willing...

Great testimony Benjamin! Yeah just that alone. That one can't say to a child with absoultue confidence that Jesus loves them. What a sad, sad thing that people have had that stripped from them God's REAL love to all.

No I confess that I didn't read that as I got the quotation from another source. But still doesn't negate the fact that inwardly he was bewildered about the whole thing. Don't believe God left us in the dark in regard to his gracious, loving, merciful character. He said something as well...I...

Well I'll say this if the woman was in any sense a mature Christian they'd never do such a thing. Here's why....forget about the part here for a sec if it's moral or not. A mature Christian would never want to seek to bring offense among Christians and cause them to be upset taking away peace...

For the overall benefit of the universe it is. Because God is LOVE he had to make the penalty so great so as to discourage the greatest number of spiritual being from bringing forth and walking in spiritual death, and rebellion. Rebellion takes away LIFE therefore it was because of LOVE that...

As you refuse to hear as well. Well Protestant why don't you go and just be upfront with unbelievers and stop your game of preaching like an Arminian but believing like a Calvinist...or so the saying goes. Cease being ashamed of what you believe and go tell the world. Why don't you go and tell...

Well as I said, I've always thought this tech items could be it. But could it be something we've never even thought of? The MRI problem is a pretty major thing. All get and need MRI's eventually. On the hand or forehead....the mark......I'd suppose they could rig up a certain type glove to cover...

Well many have speculated as to whether this tech stuff is similar to the mark of the beast. Sure does seem so but how does the 666 come into play. On another note what happens if any of these people need to have an MRI. Doesn't seem too smart which makes me wonder if these chips things are...

You can't have all that happen of Rom 1 the day after Man fell. There wasn't time! Read through the entire list of things of the said chapter! Absolutely not! You can't pin all this on one sin of Adam & Eve. This was a degeneration of groups of people and cultures. Each group and culture had...

Hold it now. I've been told over, and over and over by people of your belief that anyone or anything that God loves.....HE WINS OVER. I've been told if God isn't successful in doing such he's a failure and God IS NOT A FAILURE. You would claim God uses irresistible grace just puts it upon those...

You've already covered it in what way Dave? In a way in which you claim that you're right? Sorry but I've never agreed to that Let's go through it with my comments in blue. " For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in...
