My heart is breaking... I thought Christians are suppose to love "unconditionally"
RE: My heart is breaking... I thought Christians are suppose to love "uncondition...
@ Dirch, careful in how you interpret scripture and apply it to God. You sited John 3:16 and it starts with God's unconditional love for His creation... "for God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son..., God wasn't speaking about those who would accept Christ at the beginning of this verse, He was speaking to all of mankind. There's a difference in God allowing people to chose their finial destination and God's love for mankind, "that whosoever believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. This is a verse given to let people know what will eventually happen in their lives when they make the decision to accept or reject Christ and a verse that let's everyone know that God loves them. What actually could make you believe that God needs a condition to love people when God is love, how is it possible for God who is love, not love all people. His love is unconditional, His salvation is not, we do have to make the choice.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
