1 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | John Reformed | 59341 | ||
Dear Sir Pent, You wrote: "... it is logical that a God, who is “almighty” or “all powerful” would have the ability to do anything. This would include loving or not loving us. I see this as making it even greater that God does love us. If He had to, then it would not seem as awesome as it does to know that He chooses to love me. And then to think that He knows me completely for all that I am and chooses to love me anyway, that is even better still." A word of caution. You are coming dangerously close to the reformed view of the doctrine of election. John |

2 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | Sir Pent | 59343 | ||
Personal Note ........................................... Dear John Reformed, Thanks, but the one thing that separates me from that view is that I believe that God chooses to offer salvation to all people, and equally lead them all to obtain it, if only they would accept. |

3 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | John Reformed | 59349 | ||
Dear Sir Pent, One of the problems that arise out of your view is the inescapable fact that multiplied milions of people down through the ages have lived and died without the benefit of hearing the Gospel. Another problem I have is with the mistaken idea that God could fail at anything He has set forth to do. Arminians claim that God desires to save everyone and yet the vast majority of mankind are unsaved. This implys that the will of God is not powerful enough to overcome the rebellious will of man. The Reformed view sees God as exercising absolute control over all of his creation and accomplishing all his works perfectly according to His eternal purpose. To God be the Glory, John |

Dear Reformer Joe, I like your post: "...This implys that the will of God is not powerful enough to overcome the rebellious will of man." He is powerful enough, but won't break His own laws or covenants to do so: He won't violate our free will. Great string. Colin. |
