If God is supposed to be this all loving being? Why is God's love (according to Christianity) conditional? God only loves you if haven't commited certain unforgivable sins?
I ask all parents this, could you ever stop loving your child?
I would hope your answer is 'no', because your love for them is unconditional. I would hope that God's love for HIS children would be the same OR BETTER than the love of a 'mere' human.
I don't believe that God should be feared, or that God's love for me is conditional. I believe my God/dess loves me no matter what and will ALWAYS be there for me to guide me and protect me when things go awry. I don't believe that the Christian idea of God being vengeful and angry and jealous is correct. God is peaceful and all-loving.
This makes me think of the Greek pantheon when gods were given human qualities. Christians frown upon that because God is not human, in any way --- yet aren't anger, jealousy, and vengefulness all human qualities?
Think.
