I guess I should have qualified that remark by saying "the only option available TO US". Clearly, evil is not compatible with the glorious presence or divine nature of God. This is why it is often said that evil is what you get when God is rejected or denied. In 1John4:8 and 4:16 the bible teaches "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" and "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him". Each of these verses necessarily imply that to not choose love is to not choose God. The choice is real, so love cannot be the only option, and if this is true, it can't be love if there is no real choice. |

Hello Parable, Again I must disagree, even in reference to us. Unbelievers know how to love and do love. This is part of the Imago Dei and being recipients of communicable attributes. The problem is that our love is not toward God until we are regenerated. Steve |

Knowing how to love is not the issue for Boyd. For him, it is choosing to love when not loving is a real option. | ||||||
