Wy???
So you have chosen to ignore the reality that biblical love is not love at all, that love is not conditional by definition and just offer another goddunnit answer.
I'm used to that here.

0 God didn't write anything down for you to quote, dude.
By the way, what language did your god use to write the Ten commandments on the stone tablets? Your bible is all hearsay, you know. Doh!
Then you would be misinforming yourself.
I cannot be held responsible for your failed attempts at thinking.
Another Baptist?Comfort ,you could always join my team.
Pays lousy ,but the benefits are great!So if you are wrong, the other gods will be pi**ed off at you and whoever you convinced to follow your advice. Quite a responsibility for anyone, especially a mortal.
Someones always p***ed off.
I just can never please ALL the gods.
So I choose one
JevhovahOut of all the thousands of gods? The odds are against you, you know.
Come on dude, answer my questions if your education is so sublime. Should be easy for someone with the HS backing them up.
Better find out about earnestshub before you make sweeping statements.
I actually know something about your bible.So far I have managed without inanimate objects.
LMAO...rather limiting your experiences aren't you? I never figured you as vanilla
Straight as an arrow, died in the wool, missionary position, lights out, gospel music, guilt ridden heterosexual mere male.
Just kiddin!
Reminds me of a male derogative joke , but maybe not here or now.Why would you imagine I haven't read it?
..
Yea must have been someone else.
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
Modern version: That guys sound hot!I dunno. Resembling a country is a bit sus.
I sense this would be a great time for a poker game too
"Bappy" powder? Does that stuff help one keep from getting a chafed bappy?
In answer to your question Romans, there are a myriad of reasons why people reject 'the love, compassion and truth' as you put it.
What you need to understand is that the Church gives God some pretty bad PR. It doesn't live the love of God; comes over as self righteous, judgemental, puffed up in its own sense of superiority. Messiah did not exhibit these traits. To the outside world the Church looses so much credibility (20,000 denominations can't be wrong ) Perhaps the 'gospel' that the Church preaches is so different from the original.
According to the nativity story, the angels pronounced peace and goodwill to ALL men. But the Church presents a gospel with strings attached and a God that shows conditional love only. The Church's God loves the man when he is alive, but hates him when he is dead (unless he manages to utter a sinner's prayer first).
