General questions about the Christian idea of God and love
#3
RE: General questions about the Christian idea of God and love
1. What do Christians mean by God's love or God is love?
God is the embodiment of the word?

2. Is God's love conceived as conditional or unconditional?
Unconditional

3. If it is unconditional, how can one ever divorce themselves from it?
You can't

4. Does God continue to love those whom he has reserved hell for?
Yes

5. If God is omnipresent, in what sense is it logical to speak of the absence of his presence in hell?
a. Hell isn't a physical reality.
b. He's present for hell on earth.

6. If God is immutable, how can any love he possesses for us ever change into wrath?
He is just. Not punishing wouldn't be love.

7. If you have/had a child who disowned you as a parent, and you therefore reacted by revoking any extension of love you possessed for them, in what sense could your love be considered unconditional?
Inapplicable. You're misconstruing just reward with lack of love. Love is always a prime consideration. The child rejecting love is them punishing themselves. The love is never withdrawn. The child just refuses it.

8. If God's love is conditioned on our actions or beliefs about him, is it fair to say that God's love is inferior to the love that many human parents do in fact possess for their children?
No it's superior. If a parent encourages the child to hatred they aren't helping the child. Not showing it love.
