My boy just asked. My answer was God is incapable of not loving his creation. But the actions of the devil.
How would you have answered?
How would you have answered?
He absolutely loves him, and that is one of the things the devil hates about God.
So, my question is how do you know, and what does this term "love" mean to you?
We like to have right answers for everything question. Then again... "I don't know" can be a right answer if the person saying it truly does not know.
God may well despise the devil. God may be just in honoring God's own grants of privileges and promises. Therefore, God may grant his once greatest angel his wicked desire to tempt man and lead man into eternal damnation. I'm not sure that means God loves Satan the way I love my parents dog or my nephews.
The better inquiry for the young mind is, if you love God, do honor the devil of incredible intellect who hates God and works to destroy God.
