Answer 2

We make a big assumption when we presume to know the mind of God. To say that he hates this group of people and favours others. That the Holy Land is that place and no other. Myth justifies victimization, and the Bible (and other texts) has been used for that purpose for many generations, by humankind. Remember that the Bible was written over 2000 years ago by humans, in a very patriarchal society. Read the Bible and you see how women were bought and sold like cattle, but we ignore that today and focus on gays. Read the Bible about Sodom and Gomorrah and you'll hear preachers rant that homosexuality is a sin, but keep the story and you'll find Lot hiding out in the mountains with his daughters and getting pregnant by him. The incest is blamed on the daughters, who got him drunk. Because he was reported 'favoured by God' great tribes arose from his children. Lot was blameless because he was tricked. The 'victims' are blamed, as is typical of child abuse these days. Abortion is a largely Catholic stance. We assume that humans dominate the earth, that we suddenly appeared on this earth through creation. We have a planet overflowing with 7 billion people and we're killing other species and ruining the environment, yet we regard only our lives as sacred. It's very egotistical. Religion has become ethical and moral whereas it used to be mystical. When we learn to love each other unconditionally, then we'll be more as God or Christ or Buddha or Allah intended. Again, if we can presume to know. By declaring we know the rules of God we justify victimizing other people, other creates, and this planet.

Answer 3

I don't care what perception people have of God. Jesus said that God loves everyone and I believe him. God loves them whether they are bald, hairy, gay, straight, serial killers, depressed, a saint, a child, an old person, a rock star, a homeless guy, a drunk, a prostitute, a psycho, a mom, a teen, or anything else. If one gay guy was the only person on earth ever, Jesus still would have died for him. It's not about what you do. If you have Jesus, you are forgiven everything you have ever done against God and man. Jesus has you covered with his love if you want it. If you don't want it, God won't force eternity on you. It's a choice. If you don't want to go to heaven and know Jesus, then you will never get to know Jesus here. It's about a relationship, not rules.

Answer 4

Oh goodness, God loves everyone! This is partly why He is so amazing to me. God has profoundly impacted my life and has totally changed it around. It says so many times in the Bible how much He loves everyone--in His travels He spent time with sinners and those nobody would even look upon, they were so filthy and unclean. God created each living thing and He loves what He made! You are an individually crafted human being. God breathed life into you. He knows your every thought. He cherishes you.

How could someone not want that?! :D

Answer 5

John 3:16 says "For God So Loved The WORLD". To me that means ALL people

Answer 6

God loves all unconditionally-He just doesn't love everything we do like have homosexual relations, have abortions, have sex before marriage, murder, tell lies, drive over the spead limit, etc.

2 Peter 3:5 says "[The Lord is] not willing that any should perish but othat all should come to repentance."

Romans 5:6-11 says, "For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation."
(Please note that being enemies with God does not remove His love since according to Jesus in Matt. 5:43-44 we are to love even our enemies).

There is also implied love in that God tells us to do this. As seen in Leviticus 19:18, Zechariah 8:17, Matt 5:43-44, and at least seven other verses that tell you to love your neighbor. We are told in Romans 13:8 and 10 that love is the fulfillment of the law.

Answer 7

No, in accordance to what i've got examine, he loves all people. it incredibly is in simple terms that some...possibly maximum... human beings are going to wind up frying in eternal flames because of the fact he won't be in a position to tolerate being around his imperfect creations who do no longer without end ask for forgiveness for the imperfection that allowed our unavoidably clueless primal ancestors to blunder into sin. He interestingly by no skill equipped yet another to the eternal, tormenting Hell he devised for the fallen angels (whom he additionally loves, being a God of unconditional love for his infants and all), and it incredibly is incredibly all our fault because of the fact in simple terms seem what we made him do!! :::dizzy!:::

John 3:16
