The religionists and legalists of the time? Those abusing their authority and who showed no love or compassion for their fellow man? Yes, I'd say He still loved them. Rebuke doesn't amount to hate.Did Jesus love these people?

Neither does an accurate insult. When did you become the decider of what is hate?The religionists and legalists of the time? Those abusing their authority and who showed no love or compassion for their fellow man? Yes, I'd say He still loved them. Rebuke doesn't amount to hate.
I never said I was. It doesn't take much to recognize the difference between a puerile, childish slur and the passage you posted however. The former is ten a penny around here and simply juvenile.Neither does an accurate insult. When did you become the decider of what is hate?
One would hope that a religion that preaches God's love would produce believers who love their fellow man.
It's beyond "nice".Love isn't always "nice."
It's beyond "nice".
God is love and and there's no better description of love than can be found within the Bible itself, wouldn't you agree?It's certainly not nicer than God.

You do a really good impression of a clanging cymbal.Arthur does not understand authentic love, for the same reasons he does not understand why abortion is evil, why sodomy is an abomination, and also why he just does not "get" God in general.
And you are clueless about it. You don't understand the first thing about the Bible. You read it like Satan reads it, to twist and obfuscate and find a way to argue for evil and against good. You do not read it through the eyes of faith. You read it just as what you are, a Godless liar.

God is love and He loves those who love His people and His Word, but He hates those who hate His people and hate His Word.God is love and and there's no better description of love than can be found within the Bible itself, wouldn't you agree?
God is love and He loves those who love His people and His Word, but He hates those who hate His people and hate His Word.
You don't. You simply name call and assert your own arrogant opinion as if it's truth verbatim. It isn't.Another empty Arthur Braindead response, void of anything valuable.
Whenever I slam you down with facts and you feebly respond with your retarded replies, I know I have put you in your place, and so does everyone else.
I understand all too well and yet another example of you arrogantly asserting opinion when in actual fact you have no idea.Arthur does not understand sin and repentance so he can never understand God and love.
Did God so love the world, or is that hyperbole? Did Jesus ask that those who crucified Him be forgiven because they knew not what they were doing?God is love and He loves those who love His people and His Word, but He hates those who hate His people and hate His Word.
Arthur does not understand sin and repentance so he can never understand God and love.
I understand all too well . . . .
I thought you were going to 'stop wasting your time talking to a pig like me'? Do me a favour and practice what you preach. Otherwise, I do not "support infanticide" at all. I don't "support sodomy" either as much as you might equate my believing that homosexuals are still actually human beings and should have the same rights as everyone else as being so.You need to watch your mouth, if only for the sake of your immortal soul.
You claim you understand sin and repentance? If you really do then you are admitting before God and man that you freely embrace evil and sin, and promote both, of your own free will. The evil of infanticide and sodomy being at the top of the list, you embrace them and promote them and you do not repent of it. By your own mouth you damn yourself.
You just don't know when to shut up do you.
God has mercy on those who sin in ignorance, but no mercy at all on those who immutably harden their hearts against the truth clearly revealed to them by the Spirit of God.Did God so love the world, or is that hyperbole? Did Jesus ask that those who crucified Him be forgiven because they knew not what they were doing?
God is love
and and there's no better description of love than can be found within the Bible itself, wouldn't you agree?
Love never harms, at least not without benefit.Indeed He is. But He's not always nice.
Which is exactly my point.
Love isn't always nice.
