| HISTORIC BAPTIST DOCTRINE _________________ The Longer I Study The Hatred Of God Toward The Reprobate |
| The longer I study the hatred of God toward the reprobate the more I see it to be so. As much as I wanted to see God loving everyone even if it is to a lesser degree, the truth is more important to me.
I don't see two levels of God's love. A love that saves and a love that does not. Rather I see a love from God that is directed toward His people that never fails and that is from everlasting to everlasting. A love that redeems a chosen people, a love that moves the heart of God and that does not change and is unconditional. A love that is only found in Christ Jesus our Lord. Anyone that is not in Christ does not have access to this love and has no hope. The wicked have the wrath of God abiding on them and God is angry with them everyday. The wicked will melt like wax and will spend eternity in a the Lake of Fire. There does not seemed to be any love passing from Creator to sinners or from sinner to Creator from those that are in this state. The Holy Scriptures do use the word hate. God hates all doers of iniquity, He abhors those that love violence. Esau have I hated. this is all taken from Scriptures and there are others. I am no Greek or Hebrew scholar, but hate does seem to be the right translation. Posted: 21st August 2005, 05:02 PM |
