A Short conversation: God does not Love Everyone

Me: God does not love everyone


Person A: God so loves the world. World includes everyone. What's your definition of love?


Me: The world of John 3:16 refers only to all the elect all around the world regardless of ethnicity, nationality, and languages since the time of Adam. It does not mean everyone head for head without exception.

God’s love is God’s grace that never fails to save. When He loves someone, that someone definitely will be saved. His love is always saving. If God loves everyone without exception including Pharaoh, Jezebel and Esau who are already in hell, then His love has failed to save them. But what does the Bible say about God's (attitude) towards the reprobate?

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Psalm 5:6

19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Psalm 73:19-20

13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Romans 9:13

The Bible has made it clear that there are those whom God loves and there are those whom God hates. He is not only the God of love, but He is also the God of hatred. Most Christians have falsely over-emphasised that God is love to an extent that God even loves Esau when Romans 9:13 has clearly said otherwise.

Emotions

-
This article is an overview of my understanding from the Scriptures regarding emotions. As this is not exhaustive, the readers may have questions and wish to find out more about my arguments. A civil discourse is welcome in the comments section for the mutual benefit of everyone. My friend, Marcus Chui, whose view is similar to mine also contributed to this article. Introduction Emotion is defined as a sudden disruption, disturbance or fluctuation of the ordinary calm state of the mind which, in itself, is not necessarily sinful. However, it can hinder, distort, or eradicate rational thinking if a person is emotional unto sin or overwhelmed by sin. An emotional person is unstable in his mind. [1] Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines emotion as a conscious mental reaction (such as anger or fear) subjectively experienced as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body.

Christ’s Atonement and God’s Omnipotence

-
  This article aims to demonstrate how different views of Christ’s atonement logically affects our view of God’s omnipotence. There are two types of atonement that are commonly held: 1) universal, indefinite, or unlimited atonement, and 2) particular, definite, or limited atonement. The author used to believe the former view for several years while he was still attending an Arminian Charismatic church.   Universal atonement states: Christ died for all men without exception (i.e. universally) and paid for all their sins. It is an atonement unlimited in its intent (i.e. God intends to save all without exception including those who are already in the intermediate state or hell) and extent (i.e. God well-meaningly offering His salvific grace to all without exception upon the condition of man’s independent-free-will-activated faith or response to His grace or calling). Christ propitiates for the sins of all men without exception, removing the full curse of the wrath of God from...

Some Thoughts on Common Grace

-
First Thought Romans 8:28 makes impossible the distinction between common grace and particular or saving grace. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” ——— Common Grace, as defined in 1924 by the Christian Reformed Church (CRC), is God's general favor to all creatures. The essence of the position is contained in the following three points: 1. In addition to the saving grace of God, shown only to those who are elected to eternal life, there is also a certain favor, or grace, of God shown to his creatures in general. 2. Since the fall, human life in society remains possible because God, through his Spirit, restrains the power of sin. 3. God, without renewing the heart, so influences human beings that, though incapable of doing any saving good, they are able to do civil good.
