Yes! God LOVES Everybody
Franklin: It has been customary to say God loves the sinner though He hates his sin, but that is a meaningless distinction.
"Meaningless distinction" is your human conclusion. Your thoughts are not God's thoughts and your ways are not his ways. Here are Father's own Words from His own mouth about his Love which He knows and you do not know!
Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea,
I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore
with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and
him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Isaiah 57:16 For
I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. 18
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. 19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.
Mal 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore
ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and
I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Romans 8:20
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 38 For
I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Sin shall not separate us from the love of God! Unbelief and non-belief cannot separate us from the love of God! Possession by devils cannot separate us from the love of God! Human thought and narrowminded conclusions (as in your post) cannot separate us from the love of God. In fact
nothing can separate us from the love of God! The fact is God's LOVE is an everlasting LOVE and He "changes not". "Sinners" shall be spared as if the were sons who serve Him all the time. They shall be His when He makes up His jewels. Father will not contend forever over man's ignorance and miscues because all souls would fail before Him. Instead He has ordained peace for all by the sacrifice of one to SAVE ALL, Romans 5:18. The creation was made subject to vanity by the Creator Himself and He shall deliver them all into the glorious liberty of the children of God!
Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Matthew 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth:
thy word is truth.
Since
TRUTH is every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God not "your thoughts", what shall we think? We have your conclusions and
Father's own Words where He Himself addresses us in the first person, Words from His own mouth. Let all readers choose whom they should believe. And Franklin, perhaps you need to rethink your conclusion because you used tunnel vision and focused very narrowly on the few texts you used while not using WIDE VISION to incorporate the scriptures you missed into your conclusion. NEVER, NEVER get to close to one or two trees (texts) so that you miss seeing the huge forest (the whole body of scriptures). Then you will not come to narrow conclusions that are incorrect!
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Romans 8: 8 But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if,
when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Hey, Franklin! Can you keep this command from your father?
Isaiah 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
That may be a tough proposition for YOU, if you do not believe Father's direct testimony of His kind of love from His own mouth!
