Does God Love Every Individual Person in the Same Manner?

Yes, I've read it.

No, I'm not going to go find a copy and research it to find citations for you.

 

My head doth spin!

Thank you

 

My previous question still stands: have I correctly identified your line of reasoning?

 

"For God so loved the WORLD..." (John 3:16)

Greek "kosmos", is used in this passage for the "whole human race"

Even the "champion" of so-called "Calvinism", says:

" That whosoever believeth on him may not perish. It is a remarkable commendation of faith, that it frees us from everlasting destruction. For he intended expressly to state that, though we appear to have been born to death, undoubted deliverance is offered to us by the faith of Christ; and, therefore, that we ought not to fear death, which otherwise hangs over us. And he has employed the universal term whosoever, both to invite all indiscriminately to partake of life, and to cut off every excuse from unbelievers. Such is also the import of the term World, which he formerly used; for though nothing will be found in the world that is worthy of the favor of God, yet he shows himself to be reconciled to the whole world, when he invites all men without exception to the faith of Christ, which is nothing else than an entrance into life."

Note, Calvin does not use the term that "Calvinist" like, "all men without distinction", but "EXCEPTION", which can only mean EVERY HUMAN being EVER! Sadly Calvinists do not like what their own hero says here, and try to fudge or explain it away!

 

Look at the OP about God's love for ALL people. It is a known fact that most "Reformed" deny that God loves any of the "non-elect"!

 

YES! They CHOOSE to reject the Gospel and send themselves to hell!

Why do you think that Jesus would have even bothered tell Judas, "it would have been far better if you were not born"? And weep over Jerusalem? because He knows what awaits their final destiny! He is moved by His GREAT Love and Compassion, which eludes most who follow "Calvinism"!

 

then yours must be different from God's! Explain John 3:16?

 

My friend, how you guys do NOT understand the Gospel! The Bible says God LOVES THE WORLD, and yet He, according to Calvinism, is only interested in SOME of HIS world whom He loves and wants to show them mercy. But the greater MAJORITY of HIS creation, though He LOVES. leaves damned!!! What a PERVERSION of the Gospel Message!

 

"deserving hell" is a injustice against God. Because hell is actively sin in separation of God.

Its like saying you deserve to spit in God's face.

 

do you think anyone "deserves" heaven and to be forever with the Lord?

 

That's where we have the advantage over them.

We have John 3:16 in our Bibles, but they don't have Romans 9 in theirs.
