Does God Love All People?
_________________________________________
We hear it constantly: "God loves all the peoples of the world equally."
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son...."
But does God love everyone?
Most serious bible students can immediately come up with one exception found in Malachi 1, and that would be Esau:
Malachi 1
1The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
2I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
3And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
And here in Malachi God's hate for Esau is contrasted with his love for Jacob - meaning the Israelites.
There is another incident where we find that God, manifested as the Lord Jesus Christ, didn't express love to all peoples - and neither did his disciples, and that was to the Canaanite woman of Matthew 15. The fact is, Yahshua called her a "dog."
If we go back to one of the very first books of the Bible, we find God has a special relationship with one peoples of the world and one people only, the Israelites:
Deuteronomy 7:6Did God somehow change his mind? And start loving all the peoples of the world equally with the "special people," the Israelites?
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Not that this writer can find. God didn't change His mind.
The Israelites in particular and Adamic man in general are the recipients of God's love.
Let's mention just one more example for those who don't think the three given above are sufficient. Let's look at the parable of the net.
The word translated as "kind" in English is Strong's #G1085 genos defined asMatthew 13:47-50 (KJV)
47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
1) kindred
a) offspring
b) family
c) stock, tribe, nation
1) i.e. nationality or descent from a particular people
d) the aggregate of many individuals of the same nature, kind, sort
Universalists like to believe this word "kind" means "unbelievers." Of course, as we can see from the definition above, it doesn't: genos means family, stock, kindred or nation.
At the end of the age, despite what universalists and multiculturalists believe in the depths of their hearts, it will not be the unbelievers who will be cast into the furnace of fire.
No, Scripture plainly teaches it will be the bad kind (nations) who will be severed from the just kind nations.
Folks, that is what Scripture says: we Christian Identity adherents are not making this doctrine up: we are simply bringing to light the long hidden truth of the Word of God.
As the saying goes, "get over it."
