God Loves You All

God loves you all. It seems my opponent wants to imply that since love is constant affection, God cannot love people if he lets them remain in Hell forever. God is love, and He does not change from being love simply because a person insists on denying that He loves them. If you are fighting against God, you are going to lose. To you, He will always seem to be your enemy, not giving you the things you want and not doing the things you think He should do for or around you or in your world when you want them done and the way you want them done. Because He forces you to die and leaves you in a world full of suffering and evil until your time is over, and because you are against Him, in your heart and mind you make Him out to be unloving, uncaring, and unkind. Your attitude to Him is garbage, and all of His creatures with attitudes like yours will be cast away from Him like garbage. Once the garbage is thrown out, it's not coming back. It's going to the landfill to rot where it will remain. I am not disagreeing with my opponents shallow definition of love as being constant affection. To my opponent: There is no reason to believe God's affection toward people who are cast away into the garbage pit of Hell is any different for them while He is giving them comforts in the world as He calls to them trying to bring them into agreement with Him so they can know His love and His mercy to be saved from Hell. The example of God's affection being expressed to a person burning in Hell is found in the story Jesus told of the beggar, Lazarus, and the rich man in John Chapter 5......18 Lazarus died and was carried into Abraham's bosom, 19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.In this story we can see God's affection expressed through Abraham to the man in torments of Hell in many ways. First, Abraham called the man "Son", then he kindly explained the situation, reminding the man of the comforts he had in his lifetime. Abraham also explained the problem of the great gulf which could not be crossed. Abraham was truthful in the answers and explanations, and always kind toward the man. If God had no affection for the man burning in Hell, He would not allow Abraham to answer the man at all. God is love and if a person refuses to know God is love, that will never change God. God cannot save you from Hell if you won't admit that you deserve to die and be cast away there, and seek His mercy, before your death is finalized. God loves you now. Even if you do not love Him back, His affection toward you is constant. If you end up cast away in Hell, you will not love God and there is no possibility that you will change in your attitude while you are being tormented in Hell. God loves you if you love Him back or not. He loves you so much that He took your first death to save you from the second death. He is eternal, the death He suffered was an infinite payment for your sins. You sins in finite time cost Him an infinite death since He had no sin of His own to die for and He is infinite. It is a fair exchange for you to burn in Hell infinitely if you don't care that He died in your place as the Infinite Creator who became finite in death for you. God loves you and His heart goes out to you and He showed it by dying for you in the form of a man, He took all of your punishment. If you don't care, then you will suffer all of your punishment and God will still love you, though He won't be calling to you to be saved anymore. You have broken His heart more than you should have been allowed to already. He won't wait for you to believe He loves you forever. The choice is yours.The above passages do answer your objections about the problems of physical limitations and disease, but I will elaborate for you since you seem to be having difficultly understanding. If you can't understand that God loves you, how can you understand that the suffering in this world is nothing He takes pleasure in? For God to allow you to come into existence, He had to allow suffering in the world. Rather than execute Adam and Eve immediately as they deserved to be executed, He took the death of an animal in their place and covered them with the skin. The life's blood of that animal was a "finite" payment for Adam and Eve's sin, allowing them a "finite" time to serve God on the Earth where He placed them. His plan was to populate the earth with people like Himself because he loves all people. The problem is that people have turned against Him and act like devils. Now death is in the world, and it works by disease and actions of evil such as hatred and murder. God suffers along with mankind, loving us, giving us time, and promising to fix everything in the future. God will not suffer with mankind forever, He will not allow suffering to go on forever. He loves us and it breaks His heart to see somebody go into eternity as His enemy and He has to leave them to burn in Hell....after He died for them and they didn't care......how uncaring can you be when somebody loves you so much that they died for you even when you were fighting against them and saying bad things about them? If you end up burning in Hell, it's your own fault for not believing God loves you and rejecting Jesus Christ as your Saviour. If you end up burning in Hell, you will forever believe God does not love you and you will be wrong forever. Sorry if that's how it turns out for you.PS.....Do you really need to use NASA as a source to support your argument that if you fly around in space, you die because of lack of oxygen? I have to agree with your source supports for such arguments. I think it's silly to reference sources to support obvious facts, but in support of your facts which I am not disagreeing with, I will use the same sources and recommend that people look there is they want to waste time with things that really are irrelevant to this debate.Source: http://science.nasa.gov......Source: http://necsi.edu......Source: http://listverse.com......And please, you might want to find a source for defining love since your definition if far to abbreviated to explain a concept that is as big or bigger than life. Over to you, Con. Let me know which areas you are having difficulty understanding, and I will try to reword things or explain it in different ways. God loves you, God loves me. God loves you all. God is love. Life means God is good.God is good all the time. God never changes. He is love. Will you ever stop breaking His heart? Will He have to leave you cast away in Hell?
