There seems to be a disconnect between the idea that God “loves everyone and has a plan for them” and the idea that he will punish eternally those who don’t make the right choice in this short life.
1 cor 13
4 Love is patient,love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
There are many who actually believe that a person “would have” been saved had their time not runout on earth. And they say “they had their chance”
There seems to be a huge contradiction in the ideas of keeping no record of wrongs, and always persevering, and yet eternally punishing.
This is the agape love being referenced in the passage above.
Thoughts?
