The Apostle Paul was speaking of believers in this passage- he always wrote to churches- not random heathens.


Not everyone is a recipient of God's perfect unconditional love. If you believe the Bible it is pretty clear on this.

Oh for the love of Pete. If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that the Bible was clear on a topic and then didn't quote the Bible after making the statement, I wouldn't be wondering

It's clear to most people who've spent any time in any orthodox church. I just presumed most former fundies would have heard this. In fact I'm pretty sure you could find a few verses so I won't do the work for you unless you really can't.

I just know he loves me and that's enough for me. I can't be bothered to question the lord of the universe on why he does what he does.

Quote:It's funny, because Abraham could be bothered to question the lord of the universe on why he does what he does. "Far be it from you to do such a thing! Will not the judge of the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25)

I'm not Abraham.

I think he's incredibly loving to bestow grace and mercy upon me when I didn't want it nor deserve it.

Quote:That's a rather IFB kind of view...

IFB's call themselves human, christian, americans, people, men, women, etc... so what places folks may have in common isn't exactly relevant as far as I can tell. That little guilt-by-association won't fly amigo.

Quote:I apologize; I'm new here. Is comparing someone's view to an IFB view the same as a reductio ad hitlerum on here?

No, it's just rather IFB'ish to use guilt-by-association
