A serious question for theists
November 5, 2016 at 6:43 pm
How do you exactly know if God/Jesus even loves you?
The bible only supports god loving a select few people so yeah you can't exactly use it.

well, "god loved the world"

"just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another."
"Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."

lots of other ones.

anyway, satan is the god of this world

Also, Jesus is a door.

"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." John 10:9


Possible photo of Jesus, wide-open and presumably about to be entered by a man.

I never knew me and Jesus had so much in common.

I prefer to enter lady doors though. They're the ones with two knobs.

Your whole premise is wrong. The bible doesn't say he loves only a select few. It he says that he loved the world so much that he gave his son to take on the wrath of sin for the whole world.

Your whole premise is wrong.  The bible doesn't say he loves only a select few.  It he says that he loved the world so much that he gave his son to take on the wrath of sin for the whole world.

So one human sacrifice means he loves the whole world and everything on it? 
i mean that is pretty weak if you ask me. That and  it was pointless because were more moral now
than back then.

God sacrificed his only son for the world. What is so weak about that?
