    @doctrox The problem is that you are assuming what the text needs to prove. You said, “It is believers who become apostate.” But 1 John...

    No, that is not what I said, and it is not what Scripture says. Scripture does not put God’s love, holiness, wrath, justice, and fear...

    Yes, God’s love is real. Scripture says, “God is love” ~1 John 4:8. But Scripture never teaches that God’s love cancels His wrath...

    That may be true for many of us, but we need to remember where the line is between our responsibility and God’s power. We are not...

    Thank you both for these. I've made this mistake so many times. This makes perfect sense- it will end a lot of unnecessary pain. Thank...

    I would say God’s love is not “limited” by justice, because God is never divided against Himself. His love, holiness, righteousness...
