1 | Does god hate one that doesn't believe | Bible general Archive 4 | LovemyLord7 | 216691 | ||
as far as God doesn't love the person that sins, i understand you have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven, but what about John 3:16? God so loved the world? He hates our sin but i don't think he hates the person per say. Does that make sense? | ||||||

LovemyLord, This is indeed a difficult dichotomy for our finite human minds to grasp, but Scripture does say that God hates some people, though John 3:16 says He so loved the world. John Gill puts it this way: "Ver. 16. For God so loved the world,.... The Persic version reads "men": but not every man in the world is here meant, or all the individuals of human nature; for all are not the objects of God's special love, which is here designed, as appears from the instance and evidence of it, the gift of his Son: nor is Christ God's gift to every one; for to whomsoever he gives his Son, he gives all things freely with him; which is not the case of every man. Nor is human nature here intended, in opposition to, and distinction from, the angelic nature; for though God has showed a regard to fallen men, and not to fallen angels, and has provided a Saviour for the one, and not for the other; and Christ has assumed the nature of men, and not angels; yet not for the sake of all men, but the spiritual seed of Abraham;" -Gill http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ I cant tell you that I fully understand it, because I don't, but I (we) just have to take some things on faith. (Deut 29:29) Here is something more that may help too: http://www.gotquestions.org/does-God-love-everyone.html John |
