There has to be a point at which you realize that what you call "bad theology" is also the article of some other christians equally legitimate faith. Some of you think that god is incapable of love. Some still like to say god loves but they make clear that they;re using a novel definition of the term.
Others play it plain and straight. Yes, god can and does love. Love love..not "love".
I;m, not sure how any of you could establish that the others are wrong..but it;s not entirely clear why you would want the other crowd to be wrong. Love, plain and straight..is a winning message. If something is going to bring people to christ in a way that isn;t just sad and filthy and deeply nuerotic..it;s gonna be love. We love and we seek love and often enough we return love granted. The busniess of christianity was to further humanize a god and with that comes the possibility of love on it;s own terms. It would be a waste to place a god in the body of man but throw that one cherished thing about man away after making the lift. To create an exclusionary theology after so much effort had been made to whittle it into inclusivity.
