Are all people equally loved by God or is the Pope, Dalia Lama, Billy Graham, etc. more special to God?

Question

The bible says that "God is no respector persons". So, tell me, are religious leaders like the Pope, Dalai Lama, Billy Graham and other leaders of major religions more special and loved by God or not? Are we all eaqual? Are these leaders further up the love chain in God's eyes. I really need to know. This question is burning through me.

Answer 1

You have answered your own question, yes we are all loved by God.He is no respector of persons no matter whom you are.Billy Graham, Moses or Charles Manson.

Answer 3

I think they Get more Riches in Heaven that's all, Billy Graham any way. HE Works hard saved may soles. Don't Know Dalai Lama. Pope Just waves, Just a symbole. But were all the same in Gods Eyes.

Answer 4

God is no respecter of persons. God loves everyone. Simple John 3:16 makes that clear: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
That said, God answers prayer; God answers the prayers that are in His will. When you get your life in line with God's will, you're likely to see your prayers answered because your prayers will be things to glorify His name. This is why someone such as Billy Graham would see more of his prayers answered than someone such as the Dalai Lama. He loves both, but one is working with Him, the other against Him. He ready to save, but don't expect Him to bless your opposition.

Answer 5

God so enjoyed the international, that He gave His purely begotten Son, whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish yet have eternal existence. That tells all of it- it does not say, i such as you, yet i like a frontrunner greater. The Bible is honestly appropriate that he's not a respector of persons. that's not what we try this makes us particular in His eyes, that's who we are in Him. Billy Graham is a astonishing guy of God, yet you and that i are the two enjoyed by our great God. He did not die greater for him than He did for me. great question although!!

Answer 6

We as mere mortals can not possibly understand the workings of God's mind.
We are all equal in his love, but perhaps he likes/feels closer to some people rather than others.
Why in the book of 1 Samuel is David referred to as a man after God's own heart?

Answer 7

all the person you mention is a liar. There are not of God.
They teaching people wrong doctrine. because of this greedy dog that says in the bible "Isa 56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter"
we are now have different faith.
God loves all His creation specially human. sometimes we just don't understand what God wants for us like says in "Rome 8:28 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."

there is only one true Church and you can find it in the bible. search and ask God to guide you, and lead you to the right path to salvation

Answer 8

Christians believe that God loves everyone completely and unconditionally.

However God may or may not approve of some people's thoughts or actions.

Unfortunately some people get love and approval mixed up.

Here are some quotes about God as Love from C. S. Lewis that I really like:

"He [God] has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense. .... Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved; ... mere "kindness" which tolerates anything except suffering in its object is, in that respect, at the opposite pole from Love."

"You ask for a loving God; you have one ... not a senile benevolence that drowsily wishes you to be happy in your own way, not the cold philanthropy of a conscientious magistrate, not the care of a host who feels responsible for the comfort of his guests, but the CONSUMING FIRE HIMSELF, the Love that made the worlds, persistent as the artist's love for a child, jealous, inexorable, exacting as love between the sexes..."

"The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."

With love in Christ.

Answer 9

All are loved equally by God.

.... in addition, If we are in God's will and doing the work that he has assigned each individual..then even our labors are deemed equall in God's eyes. One who has the job of cleaning the restrooms in a house of worship will be rewarded and appreciated by the Lord as much as Billy Graham,who has ministered around the world to countless millions.

Answer 10

God loves everyone the same, there is nothing Great you can do in this world that would make God love you more then someone else.
