2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Anyone would accept love, direct from the sender ---
and not from someone who speaks all the time, for the sender - but then doesn't have the note, (or gift, etc) to show it is indeed from the sender.
In ordinary everyday life - you would expect such an in-between person to have escaped from the lunatic aslym - except he's from the local church.

You answered your own question when you called them nonbelievers. You can't accept the love of someone that you don't beleive exists. Think about it!

I'm sure it varies for each individual. I believe in God however, I refuse to subscribe to any religion. My reasons for this are personal and I am content with the path I am on.

Does the word "Nonbelievers" means anything to you?
Why do nonbelievers in FSM (Like you, for example) refuse to believe the FSM created your god?

Because they don't believe that your heavenly father exists. They don't want love from something that doesn't exist to them.

we dont, we refuse to listen to a bunch of people talking and preaching a book. I believe in God, I love the Lord with all my heart and soul. I worship him, not a book.

Why do you refuse the love of Zeus?
Exactly for the same reason, we refuse the love of your god.

because if we accepted the love of the Father, we'd have to accept the love of the Son and the Spirit as well.

Charles, dear, we don't refuse love...
We don't BELIEVE in a god, father or not.
The whole thing is simply not true, it's fairy tales, myths, legends, good stories....but not real...no god, nor angels, nor satan, nor heaven or hell.....
It's not a refusal......it's a certainty of knowledge.
