But that's just it. Not all of humanity are The children of God. Christ likened us 'Christians' to a field of wheat, and everyone else as 'weeds' the field owner's enemy planted. God offers boundless love to His children. How is this any different than what we do? If a neighbors kids harassed and beat your children would you love those kids as your own? Why would God?
Quote:What strings do you attach to your forgiveness? Is being the bigger man and forgiving without conditions or some other kind of tradeoff beyond God's capabilities? That's pretty pathetic, because I've done it quite a few times.
But you haven't have you? You have forgiven one or two instances. Sin (any sin) to God is like the betrayal of adultery to us. If each sin is like your wife cheating one you how many times would you think you could simply look the other way?
Yet God through Christ has done this for us.[/quote]
