Psalms 5:5 go read it. god does not love every single last person on the planet.also in the scriptures god searches the heart and mind of everyone...everyone cant be saved.if he loved everyone then everyone would be saved..right then what would be the point of hell?

Why wasnt the rich young ruler saved when Jesus loved Him? Mark 10:21,22. How could he go away sad having only believed Jesus was a good teacher and not God in te flesh? And yet Jesus loved him. You said if He loved Him he would be saved automatically.

We condemned ourselves to war and hatred when we decided to invnet religions. Look at you, poor fellow, you dedicate your entire life to religion. Don't get me wrong, I agree with the basic morals of Christianity because obviously it's wrong to murder and it's wrong to steal yadda yadda...It's a shame people don't seem to realise religion is inappropriate. Now be honest, you must have an extremely, extremely, extremely boring life yes?

@ThaWhiteMaori

Those morals you speak of are from God written on your heart to let you know you are a sinner in need of the only Savior of mankind Jesus Christ.

Psalm 5:5, Proverbs 6:16-19, Romans 9:13, Psalms 7:11.

[But God is love] Love is the fulfillment of the law, Romans 13:10.

[What about John 3:16] Original translation: For god so loved his elect people, that he gave his only begotten son, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. You have to believe in Christ to go to heaven.

@ThaWhiteMaori read cs lewis mere christianity, i am sure it will help you gain better insight into christianity and also morality, as you have mentioned, if you genuinely seek to get an insight into the truth, and dont worry its not a christian religious book, its a fairly classic book written by a former hardcore atheist, do give it a try if possible cheers

@GBFNorwalk The rich young ruler was an Elect.

[tolar9]

Your reading of John 3:16 is completely wrong. The Grk word translated "so" means "in this manner", no "so much". And there is no "whosoever" in the Grk txt. The "for" links this verse to the previous v. Not all the Isrealites looked to the cross put up by Moses.

And, btw, the rich young ruler would not have been sad if he was unregenerate. He was sad because he, through Jesus, finally saw his sin. Jesus loved him; therefore he was Elect. Who says he didn't go and sell everything he had?

how many think the jews were cauc-asians? sorry for getting off topic i was just curious because the popular belief is just that.. however popular belief isnt true..

[MrRAIDR912]

Im glad you guys are commenting.. GOD hated esau correct? while he ws still in his mothers womb... jacob i have loved esau i have hated...salvation is first to the jew and then to the gentile... not the other way around and there is a distinction between the two..God chose a people to be his personal possession....above all other people...1more thing arem the jew-ish people the jews of the bible??? well

"Men might as well attempt to confine the ocean in buckets of their own making as to confine the vast range of divine revelation within the feeble enclosures of human systems of doctrine." Charles Henry Mackintosh

@MrRAIDR912 Acts 7:51 You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.

Matthew 23:37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

Matt 12:31 but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

[ironmonkeypalm]

@MrRAIDR912 John 16:8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

The pronoun 'He' is the Holy Spirit. So, can people resist the Spirit?

Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. Ac 18:5-6
