Yea, being a believer in general, not just a Christian, doesn't mean that's synonymous with becoming a doormat. 

From my perspective, I think God (from a Christian view) does love the person, unconditionally, but it's not defined in the type of love we are always prone to talking about. There are different types of love, and levels, I'd say. There are Christians however who think every 'sin' a person commits puts them further away from God's love. I guess it's a matter of perspective, but that's a terrible way to go through faith...and life.

If God loves with an 'unfamiliar' love (Agape') then is that yet not another condition? (Meaning God loves on His terms not ours.. ours being with out condition)

I wouldn't call His love hinging on 'conditions.' But, rather He would like for us to live our best lives, and that requires us to follow His plan. (everyone's rolling their eyes) But, it had to be said. Big Grin
