We are looking at the different ways the word world is used , and exposing the negligence of all those who render Jn 3:16, as meaning that God there is being said to Love all men without exception, when the verse does not say that, its a lie !
Rom 1:8
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
This actually is more of what John 3:16 means, that God Loved men and women throughout the whole world.
Now here in Rom 1:8 the word world would be limited to the Roman Empire or that region. People in Egypt at that time could care less about their Faith in Christ Jesus and probably never heard of Him. It is even doubtful that every single individual without exception in the Roman Empire is even included in this statement !
Lets look at also Rom 11:12
12 Now if the fall of them[ Ethnic Israel] be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
The word world here means the Gentiles, and it is even restricted in that sense as well, to be only the Elect Gentiles in the world.

There are different words translated as world
G2889***(Strong)
κόσμος
kosmos
kos'-mos
Probably from the base of G2865; orderly arrangement, that is, decoration; by implication the world (in a wide or narrow sense, including its inhabitants, literally or figuratively [morally]): - adorning, world.
It does not mean gentiles- the word gentiles has its own meaning
G1484***(Strong)
ἔθνος
ethnos
eth'-nos
Probably from G1486; a race (as of the same habit), that is, a tribe; specifically a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually by implication pagan): - Gentile, heathen, nation, people.

Meerkat gets far more than you do in your myopic adherence to the serpent seed doctrine. Your mind is closed to the many levels of interpretation in scripture that have spiritual content, not carnal or worldly.
God has no Love for any man except His Saving and Electing Love, whereby He actually saves Chosen sinners through Christ. Why speak of God's Love and neglect to mention as it is declared in scripture, that it is discriminating Elective Love Rom 9:11-13 ; Deut 7:6-7
11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)
12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
6For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
Now who can miss this grand Truth that God's Love here is the foundation for choosing a People[Israel], His Purpose according to Election!
Paul writes in Eph 1:3-5, that those Chosen in Christ were predestined in Love.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4According 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:
5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Now is this Love of God any different from His Love to that People in Deut 7:7 or Jn 3:16 ? Are the objects of this Love different ? No it is not. In all these God's Love is toward a Chosen People Deut 7:7 or Jn 3:16. So in Jn 3:16 God's Love is towards a Chosen People in the World like He said in Deut 7:7, its the same People, but now in a different dispensation and generation !

6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
If the Lord chastens all whom He loves, and if He Loves all men without exception, then all men without exception are chastened of the Lord. Now if that is True, then why did this inspired writer of Hebrews say, If ye be without chastening, then are ye bastards and NOT Sons ! How could he write such a comment if He believed that God Loved all men without exception ? If he believed that, then was he careless and foolish to say some could be bastards and not Son. For how could a possibility of that even happen, if God Loved all men without exception ! The reason why he said it however, is because he knew that God did not Love all men without exception.

1I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 3Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Elijah was sent to the king and Queen of the Northern Kingdom known as Ephraim, known as the ten lost tribes.
There were no Jews present when Elijah called fire down from heaven, there were no Jews present when Elijah killed the prophets of Israel.
Israel was a separate nation of people who accepted the winter solstice now known as Christmas, they accepred Easter along with all the traditions of Baal worship and Elijah came to God saying that he was the only person left in the nation of Israel who wouldnt involve himself in paganism.
God assured Elijah that he wasnt the only one who wouldnt practice the solstice or Easter.
God informed Elijah that he has a 7000 man elect of Israel, not Judah.
The 7000 man elect is what Paul is claiming to be.
The Elect cannot be the elect and still keep the holy days of Baal like Christians.
The elect CANNOT BE DECIEVED INTO KEEPING CHRISTMAS, EASTER, OR A SUNDAY SABBATH.
The Elect CANNOT BE DECIEVED INTO BECOMING LAWLESS.
If you are a Christians keeping the holy days and traditions of Babylon in Easter and Christmas, BY Definition, YOU ARENT ISRAEL, YOU ARE NOT THE ELECT, NOR COULD YOU BE UNLESS YOU CONVERT TO THE SAME RELIGION AS JESUS.
Many False teachers today have corrupted and used God's word deceitfully by quoting Jn 3:16 as stating that God Loves all men, of all time without exception, and that believing in Christ here is an condition man must meet in order to get saved ! What utter Falsehood. For Jn 3:16 is stating no more than God Loved those in the world who are believing in His Son and that they should not perish. This is a Testimony that God Loved all those in the world who are believing or who are believers or shall be made believers as in Jn 17:20. So in this verse Jn 3:16, there is no testimony at all that God Loves any who are not or will become believers. Only believing in Christ is proof that God Loved someone.
