Well what can I say? I agree this has gone on for a while to no avail between you and me. Still, I'll give it another try for I know there are some here that KNOW there is a loving God or who desperately want to believe there is a God who loves them and desires intimacy. "Monu please tell me what This verse teaches God's Elect : Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. If you don't mind :-}" Read Gen.25:23 and you will see "election" has to do with service, not predestined salvation. To quote from The Bible Knowledge Commentary: "God's ""hatred"" for Esau was seen in his rejecting Esau for the line of promise. Hatred in this sense is not absolute but relative to a higher choice. (cf. Matt. 6:24; Luke 14:26; John 12:25)" "Your gOD is a failure and really rather stupid !" I must be getting to you. GOOD! You've upset many on this thread with your insipid ranting. My God, the one you call stupid, is the one who saved me and you (according to your own words). I'd suggest you speak to Him about your views. "I'm not wrong... nor do I miss the LOVE of GOD at ALL... It's all over me :-}" You are wrong and you DO miss the love of God. You've grieved quite a few believers here. Yes, the love of God is all OVER you. My prayer is that one day it will be inside of you. In fact, if you are a christian, then you do have the opportunity, yea the command to not grieve the Holy Spirit and instead allow room for the love of Christ to flow out of you. "There are starving people all over the world who could use a little manna ... Hmmmm" Agreed! Let's be careful that a little arsenic isn't added. Okay?
