Do you capatlize "Someone" when someone is God?
Anyway.....imagine I said I love women, but I'm a tad jealous, and none of them are really worthy of my love....but I love them all.
You get what I'm saying, you can't really love someone when you create a universe strictly for a race of intelligent* beings to worship you, no matter what you do to them. Natural disasters, viruses, bacteria, poorly divided resources, and Job oh poor Job.
* - debatable

"may love my daughter. If she chooses to be a drug addict, criminal, seditious traitor, etc., she will be unworthy to enter my house as an adult."
Really? You wouldn't let your own daughter back in your house? What is wrong with people these days? You should be ashamed..........it's called unconditional love for a reason, plus if any of that were true about your daughter, it would be your fault most likely.

"Did your parents love and nurture you before you earned...Have you done anything to earn all that they have provided for you...It's kinnda like that"
What? How did I earn my baby food? You know what, I never earned any of my parents love, except for being a good kid, I ate all their food, I cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars, I crashed their car, and my Mom loves me way more than your God ever could.

"God made us perfect we became unperfect (adam & eve)"
My car was fine when I bought it, but 2 weeks later it's "unperfect" it must be the car's fault not the creator. If you are perfect your creations are too, it's just how it goes.
I love how you people think it.......just wow.

This question assumes that God created people as unworthy. That's a faulty assumption. If we read the first couple pages of the Bible, we see that Adam and Eve were created perfectly - basically worthy to live in God's Kingdom on earth. But God also gave humans free will. He could have made humans like robots - perfect and worthy, but He wanted a relationship. He wanted humans to love Him back. So He had to give them that choice. Humans screwed it up and chose not to be worthy. But that's not the end of the story. God made another way for people to be considered worthy. If you choose to take it, it's like a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card.
(As far as the bad stuff, that assumes that God always sends it. Also not what the Bible says. It says Lucifer was cast out of heaven, down to the earth to roam and mess with people until the Last Days. If you've read Job, you know that even then, Satan had to ask permission before he messed with Job. And of course, people still screw up.)
Only a God who is all-loving would keep finding ways that don't violate His laws for his creations to return.

So your mother has a spear wound in her side and nail prints in her extremities. Rose again after 3days !!! That is some "mother". She was a part of the Godhead and left the Heavenly throne room to die as a covering so man could look perfect in God's eyes.
Believe me the tone of this is not meant to be disrespectful in any way at all, just bringing home a greater truth !!!
I don't think you have connected all the dots yet. Keep throwing out more questions !!!

Everything that God is, is centered in His Holiness. He is holy and we are not. He is all loving- because in the midst of our sin, He made a way for us to know Him. He loves the world so much that He gave His only begotten son, so whoever believes on Him will not perish but have everlasting life. We are not worthy in and of ourselves- He died for us- we are not deserving of His love and salvation- however He gave us our worth, by what He has accomplished. Jesus makes us worthy of His Kingdom. His love put Him on the Cross.

As for "All Loving" you are misled. It's like saying that a two sides of a coin is THE SAME SIDE. As for worthy... are you implying that they need to EARN your love? As for God, the love is unconditional on his/her end, but only on the condition that you are excepting of it. There is nothing you can do to earn it.
As in relationships, if it is ONE-SIDED, then it's a poor relationship, isn't it?
Also... if this is a theosophy question, then let it be known that God cannot do EVERYTHING. (He can do everything on the "HEAD SIDE" of the coin, not the TAIL SIDE.) Even though he had created BOTH SIDES of the coin by bringing into existence the "Head Side".
As for intelligence and worship, it is a CHOICE thing. I don't think that I would want PUPPETS to love me because I can pull their strings. We'll just make them into Pinocchio and let each Pinocchio make their OWN choices (mistake, victories, and all). As for LOVING your creation... sure why not? I would be proud of anything that can produce good results. It's just us "Free Thinkers" than tend to often mess things up ourselves and then become shallow by pointing the finger of blame elsewhere.

God loves everyone, but He doesn't approve of everyone. God loves us, even when we sin or choose to reject Him, He still loves us, although He hates what we do. You're confusing love with approval. God loves us, but no one is worthy of His kingdom bc none of us meet His standard of holiness and so we don't have His approval on our own merit. We must follow Christ who then takes our sin away so that we become sinless and can enter heaven.

I may love my daughter. If she chooses to be a drug addict, criminal, seditious traitor, etc., she will be unworthy to enter my house as an adult.
I will still love her.
Why is this difficult to understand?
I'm not religious, by the way.

When you have a child he is not your equal, he will not speak to you as an equal because he is your child. Yet I am sure most fathers love their sons very much. It's a different type of love to that between you and a women. We are not worthy of his kingdom BUT because he loves us, he lets us in.

The whole idea of a "perfect" God who is all-loving, all-knowing and all-just, is a complete contradiction. Just like the majority of The Bible.
