If you think this justifies your opinion, you are misusing the scriptures to fit your belief. This is not saying he loves some workers of iniquity and others he hates. Your bible tells us that we were ALL concluded in unbelief that HE might have mercy on ALL . Romans 11:32

According to 1 John 3--Its impossible for a child of God to practice even 1 sin. Showing how utterly important it is for mortal man to learn and apply every utterance of God like Jesus said man MUST live by them. His real teachers are doing that allready. teaching the flock OT-NT it never stops. If ones teachers are not doing this-Run from them.

No, it is the mindless, thoughtless, blind acceptance of what is in scripture and ignoring what Jesus revealed about God's True Nature and Holy Spirit that I cannot relate to.

Jesus was clear--Enter through the narrow gate, for broad and spacious the path that leads to destruction, For narrow is the gate and cramped( no stepping to the left or right) the road that leads off into life, FEW are the ones finding it. Matthew 7:13-14

All teaching something else are standing on the wrong side.

So correct believing about the Bible gets you through the narrow ? You are joking, right ?

We know that Christ's coming into the World was not out of Love to all mankind without exception, neither to identify with the same, but for only His Brethren, and not according to the flesh Heb 2:17

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

His Brethren in view here are all those who does the will of His Father in heaven Matt 12:50

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And secondly, all those He became the Firstborn of Many Brethren to Rom 8:29

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Col 1:18

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Heb 12:23

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

Christ came only into this World and assumed the likeness of sinful flesh for those here Eph 1:4-5

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Yes, only the predestined ones, same as in Rom 8:29

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

These are whom God's Love is limited to !

It's the scripture of truth you cannot relate to.

Yes but then those that obey Jesus learn every utterance and apply them and stop practicing sin. His real teachers on earth make sure every utterance is taught and applied. Not alldo apply it though, Some try to stand but fall.
