That's what I'm wondering, it's like telling everybody that they deserve Heaven. God loves His own, that's evident throughout the Bible. As for the rest of the world, it's uncomfortable to say that God does not love everyone, but there is plenty of Biblical evidence to support this. God is not willing that anyone should perish (i.e. not the author of evil), but if Jesus prayed only "for those whom you have given me" in John 17, then this can only mean one thing -- Jesus died for those whom the Father had elected. "The world" of John 3:16 becomes a little smaller as a result.

Usually when you tell someone that especially if they are being smart alecs they will look at you kinda funny and they might actually stop and think about what you say..I've got in some debates so to speak and if I really don't feel like debating or they have done something I thought was stupid, I will say "God Loves You" . To enter the Kingdom of God one must believe in God. God will always forgive your sins no matter what you have done.

God does love them.....
as much as He loves YOU!
Jesus proved that on the cross at Calgary.
God wishes than none should perish and that ALL of His children will be able
to spend eternity with Him in Heaven.
But sinners have a choice to make.....
God does not send sinners to Hell.
They do that all by themselves.
For the life of me, I will never
understand why so many choose Hell.

Because we do love them. They just havent seen the light of the Lord yet. And even though they are sinners now, they may one day turn away from their sins and repent. God gives everyone a chance to turn around and start fresh. Its up to them, but we have to love them anyways, they are only human too.

The Bible shows that God and Jesus loves the sinner enough to help them turn around, if the sinner wishes to turn. Since it's a Christian duty to help preach the good news, this is one of the tactics used to help those sinners in need.
Jesus went to those sinners, and the religious leaders criticized him for it. For Jesus, the sinners were people who really needed his help.
If the person does'nt want help, then oh well. Move on to the next sinner.

Because God is supposedly not stupid enough to hate a living organism for doing what it does. Living organisms are not all powerful, therefore, they will surely make mistakes and maybe make mistakes and not even know that they are making mistakes that lead to their own demise or that of others.
Some people even realize what's really going on. What kind supreme super entity would be less intelligent than some
humans?!
God is either all-loving or less than all powerful and all-knowing.
The three attributes are one.

God loves everybody. Proven by Him dieing on the Cross to save all of us. Most people think that God doesn't like people who believe in Him but He loves us all!

God loves everyone, but He has done His part, by sending His son, Jesus to pay the price for our salvation. The next move is up to them.

I agree with you, they are going to hell if they don't repent but maybe you could try telling them of what Christ did for us and where they can go if they will ask for forgiveness. It's just a suggestion :)

Because She does love them!
That question sounds pretty judgemental of you. Didn't Jesus say something like "Judge not, lest ye be judged?" I think he also mentioned something like "Why bother with the mote in your brother's eye when you don't even deal with the BEAM that is in your own."
Are you saying that we christians should start judging people because they don't subscribe to the same belief system we do? Does it mean that I should pay attention to only some of the things Jesus says? Why wouldn't I want to do EVERYTHING that he tells me to do?
