This seems to say not all are loved equally in this age.
Joe I am surprised you would even make a statement like that!!!!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I thought that reconciliation was for all.Is that not what the bible truths teaches???

Bobby, I'm going to chime in here.
Earlier, I think in this thread, perhaps another it was shown that the word original word for love had several meanings in the original language, unfortunatly only one in our language. Notice Joe said "In this age" Obviously God loves everybody and in the end "all in all" and the same. But in this age God is working with the "elect" whoever they may be and in turn shows more "love/like" toward them. Just as he did with Esau and Jacob.
We can try as we might to love as God loves, but our carnal beast won't let it happen (the true Godly love). Though overtime, as we overcome and become more and more Christ in us, the love and compassion we show will also grow. We won't reach perfection in this age. Though we should strive for it.
I hope I'm clear to folks, but if not bear with me.

I do not see where in Ray's paper that Christ hated them!!!

brothertoall:
Craig the word hate was brought up in this thread and then I was imediately directed to Ray's paper on the Hipocrite thing. ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Craig:
Show it to me? ???
I saw the verse from scripture that "Esua I hated"
But I do not see where anyone said Christ hated anyone or even infered that. Joe even gave the reference to that verse as to mean "love-less"
Let's don't put words in others mouths.

No one said that.
Bobby, in this age of the flesh God made vessels for honor and dishonor. We love the vessels of dishonor because they have no choice but to be what God made them. But we do not love their fruits/what they produce or what they are/hold. We are not required to love evil.
Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Evil people will eventually be equal and equally loved, but not in this age.
