“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.” John 3:16
This is probably the most memorized verse in the entire
bible, but it is also one of the most falsely referenced scriptures in the
bible. Oh, the old “God loves everyone” lie, oh how misquoted it is. People who
fail to study the scriptures and fail to use the scriptures in context never
properly understand and teach the scriptures correctly. Therefore, we have so
many denominations of local assemblies that falsely call themselves “churches”
teaching this false narrative. Folks, please do not be fooled by fools who are
blind to the scriptures, GOD DOES NOT LOVE EVERY PERSON ON THE EARTH!
This word “world” has been debated over the centuries endlessly. They have been
countless volumes of book written try to prove this word means the entire
worlds population, only to show that many do not take the bible in context. I
can give one single example to prove this theory wrong, that is that God loves
everyone. You will find it in Romans 9:13 “As it is written, Jacob have I
loved, but Esau have I hated.” If God hated Esau then God does not love
everyone on the earth. God did not come to love Jacob and hate his twin brother
Esau, God never had love for Esau, ever! Notice that Paul wrote these words,
“As it is written…” that means it is written in the Old Testament, so let’s
find that referance and see what God said there, Malachi 1:2 - 3 “I 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, And I hated Esau, and laid
his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.” God
not only hated Esua but here God promised to “…I hated Esau, and laid his
mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.” Wow, God
must have been angry at Esau, so what did Esau do to make God so angry? The
scriptures only give one reason why God hated Esau, because He never loved
him. Because God’s love or hate is eternal, as God is eternal. We must recognize
that God’s love is a gift to those that He loves, and not gifted to those who
He does not love. God is not under any obligation to love anyone; it is by His
own choice to love or not to love anyone. If you are saved then you are loved
of God, if not then unless God saves you in time, then He does not love you. Therefore,
these preachers that deny this, they will call God unjust if He choses to love
one soul and not another. But God said, “he saith to Moses, I will have mercy
on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but
of God that sheweth mercy.” Romans 9:15 – 16 See, God did not come to hate
Esau, God never loved Esau, Esau never did anything for God to hate him, Adam
did, when he sinned against God. It is truly not unjust for God to show
mercy and love one soul and to not show mercy and love another. “What shall we
say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.” Romans 9:14 So
for anyone to teach that God loves everyone, that just isn’t true and that
makes it a lie.
Let’s look at another example in, Psalms 5:4 - 5 “For
thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell
with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of
iniquity.” Here we see that God hates the non-elected “thou hatest all workers
of iniquity” who are they? Well they are all who are not saved nor will ever be
saved, because outside of the saved there is nothing but wickedness. God does
not count mortal goodness, in Gods eyes all sinners are wicked, He himself call
them enemies. God said in Romans 8:7 “Because the carnal mind is enmity
against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can
be.” Who is the “carnal minded”, that is those who are not saved, and even
though some saved are referred to as carnal minded it is speaking about their
scriptural mind set and not their spiritual condition. While some of these
people call themselves Christians, and groups call themselves churches they are
neither. Now it is true that God demands that Christians to love their enemies
it is never said that God loves all of his enemies. We do not know who the
loved of God are and are not, who ever thought Saul of Tarsus would ever be
loved of God. So, a large hater of God, Jesus, of the churches could one day be
saved and be a great servant of God. Folks, do not make the mistake of studying
the word “world” wrongly, it is speaking of the Gentiles and Jews both, the
world, the different nationalities, not that God loves them all but that God
loves a remnant of most nations. If God loved everyone on earth then everyone
would be saved over time, because Jesus wrote this promise, “While I was with
them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have
kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture
might be fulfilled.” John 17:12 Folks, if you do not take the scriptures
in context, you will miss a lot of blessings and misunderstand the bible.
