Psalms 5:4,5 "You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong."
God (the one who made you with a purpose) so loved the world (Everyone including you) that he gave (giving is a sign of love, God loves us) his one and only son, (Jesus Christ, the way to God) that whoever (whoever means anyone) believes in him (not just knowing about him, but accepting him as the boss of your life) shall not perish but have eternal life.
I'm sure you know most of this, but I am just making a point. God does love everyone.
i strongly disagree. if God didn't love everyone, he wouldn't have died to save the world as the bible says. he would have only died for certain people.
one verse in particular comes to mind when you say that. In Romans 3:25 we read that God set forth Christ "a propitiation through faith in His blood". So then He is not a "propitiation" to those who have no faith.
So if God is love, than are you saying that love can hate? in which case, woulden't that be a contradiction?
God Cannot Stand Sin, It's not that he can't stand the sinner. It's just the sin that the sinner commits. and we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Yet God forgives us all. why? because he loves all of us. but God can only allow those that request the sin to be washed away into heaven. if you don't ask he won't give, simple. like with solomon, God could of just blunty given him wisdom but no he asked him "What would you like?" and solomon answered "Wisdom". because God gives us a choice of free-will. he want's us to make up our own mind. My belief is this (and i know you don't agree with it levi...but i think you are just misunderstanding what i am saying) I believe God has a path made for all of us yet God gives us the free-will to choose that path or deny it. Like in loving him, God wants us all to love him but not everyone does. that's because he gives us all the free-will to choose to love him or not.
You gave no real biblical evidence for believing what you believe, except you just "feel a certain way".
"The Bible is the only infallible rule for faith and practice. Thus, our experiences, impressions and feelings must be subordinated to what the Bible teaches" - Brian Schwerley.
Who can define God the best besides God himself , he shows us his nature, his wrath, his righteous hatred, not to mention his abounding love that i can't even begin to understand.
God is good, it is impossible for any of his actions to be evil. Therefore everything he does is good, whether you feel it to be "right" or not in your finite mind. I would rather trust God and his word than my own emotions.
