Well, why does God choose them as His inheritance? Because He loves them. Why does God call many but choose few? Because He loves the few he chooses. Why would God do things for the sake of the elect? Because He loves them. Who does the Son choose to reveal the Father to? Those that He loves...

Thanks so much! You as well, brother!

Deuteronomy 10:14-15: Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. Yet the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples as you are this day Psalm 33:12 - Blessed is the nation...

And God does indeed show His love towards sinners through Longsuffering. But showing forth your love and loving someone are two different things. God does indeed show love towards His enemies; He allows them to live on His planet. Psalms 7:11 Psalms 11:5 Revelation 2:6

My brother and I want to go see them in concert sometime soon!

For those who did not catch this, I need to make an amendment to this post. God is loving to those who are not His elect, but does not love them. My brother in the faith, @SovereignGrace , pointed this out to me, and I must agree. If He loved the unjust, it would not only be against His...

I am actually really glad you brought this up; not only does it help me to better word my future responses, but it also serves to show how to properly discuss things of the Word. Allowing Scripture/Biblical principles to correct you.

Given time to think about it a bit, no not really. It is loving, but I believe loving and actually having love for something/someone are different.

Longsuffering is a far better term, I agree. That is what I meant when I said He loves them in the sense of Creation; He is patient with them. I should have worded it better. What I meant was that God shows His love towards His creation by being patient, Kind, and gracious even to the sinners...

.... Yes, in the sense of creation. He generally loves all as His creatures, but to His elect He has a very special, drastically more deep love for those whom he foreknew, predestined, and justified. Thanks for letting me know! I didn't catch that

Yes, I believe that God has a special love which is directed only to the elect. A different, more deep love than that He has for the general population.

He foreordained them then predestined them. Again, I believe that our definitions should reflect what the Scriptures teach first and foremost. You definition of the word seems [not sure so feel free to correct me.] to reflect the idea that God foreknows based on the actions of the person...

Oh yeah. I love me some Metallica. I'm what you might call a music collector. Music is one of my favorite hobbies! 60s, 70s, and 80s.

PS I love your profile picture! Still trying to get the vinyl of Master of Puppets.... one of their best Albums IMO. I have Kill Em' All, but I need to get Master of Puppets.

That is amazing to hear! Young people now a days who honor Christ and love Him are few and far between! Praise God for His work in your life!

Hi! Though this was not addressed to me, I will do my best to answer. I personally cannot give you one verse that proves this definition true. The Bible is not a dictionary, therefore trying to find one verse to prove a point is quite futile. However, when taken and compared to the rest of...

Well, some people just refuse to accept the truth. No matter how much truth is presented, he will not yeild. This is between him and God.

Could you prove I am not one of them?

But still, none of theses verse prove you are one of the ones talked about. This proves nothing. Show me the proof. And I read your other posts while waiting for you to respond. My brothers in arms quite handily disarmed your viewpoints in a few posts. The rest are just you refusing to accept...

Election, ironically. Oh, how the Lord works for those who love Him! :D:D
