Where's the Justice?

[FallentoReason]

Agape' is unique to God in that it is a chosen or conditional love given a set of criteria or circumstances.

I've searched up where 'agape' is used in John and verse 3:16 isn't one of them.

The word for 'love' in John 3:16 is actually agapaō which seems to have no strings attached in the form of conditions for this love to apply.

agapaō, verb

1) of persons
a) to welcome, to entertain, to be fond of, to love dearly
2) of things
a) to be well pleased, to be contented at or with a thing

So John 3:16 reads like this in plain english: for God so dearly loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Deconstructing this verse we can first establish that a) God's love for us is to deep that he sacrificed himself so that b) we might be able to obtain eternal life. The only conditional thing here is our salvation which depends upon what we believe, not God's love for us.

In light of this understanding I will answer your two questions again.

Two questions. Why do you believe God is all loving, and Why do you believe that those children are being punished for anything?

Why do I believe God is all loving? Because the greek word used says he 'dearly loves' the world so much that he sacrificed himself. He is simply all loving.

Why are those children being punished? Because salvation is conditional and they haven't met the requirements.
