Does God give out different love?

[therealdrag0]

Is there any verses or evidence(word roots?) to support a difference in God's love towards christians and non christians?

God loves everyone the same. He is no respector of persons. He does not favor one person over another.

We have a covenant relationship with God and if we do our part, then we can be sure that God will do His part of the covenant. For example, we know that all things work together for good for them that love God. So if we do our part, to follow God's plan and purpose for us, then we can be sure that He will do His part to cause all things to work together for our good. But if we do not do our part, then we can not expect that God will do His part of the Covenant. Everyone will get the same results though. It is exact and precise and the same for everyone. The Bible is filled with promises, but they are all based on our doing our part, and then we can be sure that God will do His part of the promise. The invitation is open to everyone.

Romans 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.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,
not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Good day, therealdrag0

In the root words from the greek;

Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Rom 9:13 kaqwv gegraptai ton iakwb hgaphsa ton de hsau emishsa

I have (verb) Loved:

agapaō
Thayer Definition:
1) of persons
1a) to welcome, to entertain, to be fond of, to love dearly
2) of things
2a) to be well pleased, to be contented at or with a thing
Part of Speech: verb

I have (verb) Hated:

miseō
Thayer Definition:
1) to hate, pursue with hatred, detest
2) to be hated, detested
Part of Speech: verb

Both verbs, something God (has done).

So that His purpose might stand;

Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth

By definition completely opposed to each other.

In Him,

Bill

Good Day, John

All I can say is my goodness......

Do you love your mom in the same way you love your wife, or daughter?

Or your dad the same way as your best bud?

Do you love them because of what they do?

How do you view the doctrine of "adoption"

You should quote the whole passage:

Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Rom 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.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 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.

The Called, are the elect, the predestined the ones whom He forknew (verb), they are the justified, they are the ones whom god is for. God is not for all check out the "if".

Peace to u,

Bill

not willing that any should perish[/COLOR] but that all should come to repentance.

John,

Here's how this verse should be understood:

"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise (to us), but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any (of us) should perish, but that all (of us) should come to repentance.

We in the church are the us referred to, and are the only ones called to repentance. This verse is often grasped by well-meaning christians in an effort to believe that their unconverted family and friends will be redeemed as well. Overwhelming scriptural evidence shows that this simply isn't true, and they are going to perish.

What are the verses that you believe show that God loves non-Christians?
