If God really did love everyone, then that would include people of all colors, beliefs, heights, genders, and sexual orientations, which means that anyone who said that gay people are SOL on marrying who they want, regardless of gender, are speaking against their own God. We are all supposedly made in God's image, right? That includes EVERYONE.

I don't think that the 'men performing indecent acts with other men' bit was against homosexuality, but against the violence of the act of rape and to impress the point that rape knows no bounds. Besides that, it was written in the early centuries, a.c.e., by self-righteous men who were afraid of their own sexuality... I believe.

Yeah, when you really think about it, what the bible says is kind of condescending to god loves everyone.
So yeah, you can't say you love everyone, then look down upon others at the same time.

Consider you have your own 2 year old child. If you are sane, there is nothing that child can do to make you turn away from the child. There is no tantrum loud enough, no pounding of your chest hard enough, no shouting the child hates you sincere enough; to make you turn your back on that child.
Is not God as far advanced from you as you are to that 2 year old child? There is nothing you can do that God will not love you.
But consider that child again. You've heard young children try to explain things and smiled at their silliness. So too does God smile at our beliefs. As Jimmy Buffett sings, "Religion is in the hands of some crazy-*** people."
You know when you get people to believe as you believe, you feel more strongly about your belief. It is the foundation of American advertising. If you can make people not only agree, but give you things, privileges, and perhaps different clothing, you feel even stronger. But all of that is a child's explanation.
Religion is simple:
1. God loves you. You should love God.
2. Do good, as doing good is good for you.
3. Love all mankind, as we need all the help we can get.
4. When you die, believe you will go to heaven and you will.
See you there.
George.

God made man, all unique and with different philosophies. Some people believe in gay marriages -- some don't.
"God did not create any human being as a homosexual. They are not born that way, just as murderers are not born that way(1)."
Homosexuality, according to the Bible, is sinful nature. Additionally, it is a choice. Someone can choose to be gay or not. The choice lies within the dimension of how that individuals life's framework was constructed.
God does not like this action of homosexuality. However, God loves everyone and He created us, but He doesn't love what they do.

God is Love. Love is Life. Life is God. Love is not an emotion, it is an energy. It is a vibration that lies at the core of every living thing, it animates all of life. The action of loving is love in motion. We see this in acts of kindness, compassion, understanding, forgiveness and selflessness. These actions bring a lightness about situations, bring a lightness about ourselves and to the world because they stem from a source of the highest vibration of energy. This is the divine vibration. This is love. God does actively love each and every one of us by assisting us in creating the reality in which our souls have chosen to help us a achieve a state of divine fluourishing. God assists us in carrying out our will as free agents in this material world. Because the material world is like a playground for our souls and God, God places no judgment on what happens here, for each event precisely fits into the equation for the evolution of spirit. The greatest act of love God has shown us is, like a parent, granting us the freedom of our will to leave home and act as an autonomous being, there to guide, love and advise us, but never judge and always keep a room open for when we choose to return home.

God really loves everyone as they were made in his image-Genesis ch 1V 27(that means the inward being) but he still made them male and female.So even when he made them so he had the concept of procreation as the centre focus.What one chooses to be in sexual orientation is not Gods doing but the body's craving for satisfaction as it is in Galatians ch 5 v 17-21,race, colour were given by God not what a person chooses

Yes, God does love everyone. But not everyone loves God. True love of God requires us to banish all of those designations you spoke of and see every living thing as a spirit soul. Those things are temporary and irrelevant. We have the right to do as we wish but to receive God's mercy, we need to show Him that we love Him by following His rules. These rules are pretty basic and can be found in any religious philosophy. They vary from religion to religion but for the most part they are the same. We must show God that we love Him more than ourselves before He will even show us His love. Hare Krishna!

God loves everyone. As a matter of fact, he gave all the opportunity to enter heaven. But only his elect will find it for they are chosen before the foundation of the world to inherit the kingdom of God. The rest shall perish. God is the one who chooses not man to choose God. Read Rom 9 : 15-16,18-21, 23
( KJV Bible )

If you believe your God Loves you then he does God is a spiritual belief; not a man coming over for coffee. So I guess we can say he loves those who love his spirit; well we know that is not everyone. People have different beliefs and religions; and not all are directed into the spirit of the same God.

I have a child that I have not seen in 4 years. This child has broken the law and caused much grief and trauma for her 2 children, my grandchildren, and she is now a fugitive. I still love her very much, I would give my life for her but I will not help her to continue in this life of crime and drugs and I would notify the police if she came to me. This is how Father God loves us. He will never stop loving us but He said there are consequences for disobedience and He tells us what they are in the Bible. He does not lie,ever.

If God did exist, then why did He send Jesus to give us a message? I think the message would've been understood better if the God did show up to give that message. So, my answer is no He does'bt love everyone because a God doesn't exist. If He did, then why is there famine, war, and all of that crazy stuff? No one who says that they love their children like the bible says He loves His children would allow that to continue.
