God loves everyone. Period.

Love, for it to be truly love, must be unconditional. There are no degrees. Degrees are excuses for surrender by all.
3,000 degrees for you.....cremation....try it, that may work really well for you....REALLY well.
Why is it that when some people use words like love, they feel so oleaginous?

No... I guess it is just imagining that world leaving your mouth.... makes it sound dirty and disgusting!

ha, well, ok: "that world leaving your mouth": another edit is needed. Three weird comments thus far. You ok?
No, I am not okay. Thank you for asking. I have this very annoying correspondent who feels obligated to respond to each and every word I say. Even though I have made it clear to them that they hold no interest for me. I am really quite fatigued by their annoying whining, their insatiable need for acknowledgement. I do not want to be cruel, but they are simply below me in many ways. Intellectually they are inferior, financially they are improvised, emotionally they are bankrupt. So, I am doing my best to urge them to find someone in the cesspool where they reside, they can certainly drink their beer and roast road kill over the fire pit and live quite happily. And I can get back to considering issues that do not involve alcohol, pedophiles, homosexuals, and men who claim to be born Jewish.
So, forgive my misuse of words and my inattention to detail. Perhaps by tomorrow this aforementioned individual will recognize the folly in their efforts and move on to less self aware and assured women.

A thought on this matter.
There are people I love; however, do not like. It may seem contradictory but not really, in my personal opinion.
Love does not require one to abandon all boundaries, though trust may allow it.

:thumbup: Good point. You don't have to like someone or their actions to love them. I pray for people I can't stand that they would be saved.
Rufus! Good to see you again! You sound well.👤
I recall your proficiency with exacting definitions. Could we differentiate the noun form from the verb form of the word love and discover some insight?

Singularity. I am just a man and I have many faults. I believe in the Lord Jesus and He commands me to love everyone, even my enemies. I turn to Him every day and before I know it I have sinned and fall short. To me it is much harder to be a Christian than to live life on my own with my own thinking and evil selfish desires. But I am thankful he chose me and has allowed me to be part of His Kingdom. This is such a short life and learning time for all of us. And even as a Christian I am painstakingly slow to learn. But I am honestly trying. Please forgive me when I am wrong and when I treat others wrong. I am trying to learn to love everyone. Many times I strike out in anger only later to realize this is not what my Lord wants. God does love everyone and want everyone to come to know Him and surrender to Him as Lord and Savior. He is the answer. He is the way. He does not want to lose , even not one of us. Thank you for your kind words and be patient with me. I will make mistakes, but I really want to love Him and love others with all my heart. I hope you are doing well and even if you do not want me to I will pray for you just the same. I do this because I care.

LOL - There's a big part of me that has to agree with you there.

I can understand why...when reading the definition, or should I say a definition? "extremely polite, kind, or helpful in a false way that is intended to bring some advantage to yourself. '

I suppose in a way I agree. But, I can only do so if I look at homosexual behavior as a condition. Can one love an individual and not love their actions? I think that it is possible, but to what degree? Do you love the one who spits in your face as much as the one who shows love and respect for your laws and rules? Does God look favorably on one who molest a child, another man (I seem to remember a couple of cities that was destroyed due to this sort of behavior)? It then begs the question, is there degrees of love? One reserved for the obedient and one of complaisant tolerance that is only nanometers from condemnation.
