General questions about the Christian idea of God and love

[Drich]

Jesus H. Christ. Talk about an ego-maniac. I'm pretty sure if there is a just and fair God there must be a special place in hell reserved for people who think the world starts and begins with themselves, like you, drich. I'd be very cautious to set myself up as the arbiter for who is and is not allowed to err in doctrine if I thought the Bible was magic powder.

Are you really surprised that God would favor and forgive the saved/believers over the unsaved/non believers?

Perhaps Jesus and God should get their messages in line.

How so? Where do you see a difference?

One blasts hypocrites and commands loving thy enemies, and is alleged to have loved the whole world, even those who killed him.

One hates his enemies, only loving those who love him (which Jesus criticizes because even the sinners do THAT!) and worse, almost seems to delight in expressing it.

Again, there is a difference between sinners and evil doers. God has mercy on sinners but no tolerance for evil doers. Even Christ demonstrated this with the Pharisees and money changers.

more than happy to.
For this all one must do is go to a lexicon of your choice and type in sin and evil.
Here is what the vines had to say:

Now contrast the definitions in evil with sin:
http://studybible.info/vines/Sin%20(Noun%20and%20Verb)

Two words, two totally different meanings. Yet 'modern translations' give these two words one meaning.

This is interesting. You defined sin as:

Sin is anything outside the expressed will of God.

And you defined evil as:

Evil is a willful endulgence or delight in being outside the expressed will of God.

And yet, the source you pointed to doesn't support your definition.

Please use the source and refute, or your assertion will be dismissed.
