RC Sproul just the other day went to be with the Lord.
So He withdraws His love based on how well we behave? Like some sort of punishment? I am not talking about people living in blatant sin. But Christians who are trying to stay close to God and please Him, but still struggle with sin in some areas and feels convicted when they do sin.
I dont buy that. Jesus loved everyone while He was here in the flesh.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
The verse excludes no one.
Jesus knows about hell
But Jesus Himself is included in all the best there is of Heaven, and Jesus talked about Himself and how God wants us to love. How God wants us to love is as it is in Heaven . . . the best of how to love. Jesus talked about this way of loving, a lot. He talked about our Father in Heaven, so talking about all the best of Heaven.I have never personally counted the versus but, from what I understand Jesus preached more about hell than he did regarding heaven..

Sure it is. But we have the freedom to reject even unconditional love. IOW, we can set a condition. He loves us- His creation -lavishly, in spite of our sin but He won't force us to return the favor. As Augustine put it, God won't violate our wills to save us.

But this does exclude! those that don't believe!I dont buy that. Jesus loved everyone while He was here in the flesh.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
The verse excludes no one.
And now he knows a lot better!!

Exactly! The Calvinist argument that "world" here only refers to "world of the elect" is indefensible.I dont buy that. Jesus loved everyone while He was here in the flesh.

Those who know what the Bible teaches need not view the video.I guess you did not watch the video. The ones that have all the answers need not.
