He loves me, He loves me not
You say Yes, the Father and the Son are one and there is no contradiction between them. Do these passages support that God loves all men without exception? Answer yes they are consistent with it
You say How do you reconcile the fact that the Lord Christ preached in parables so that in order that, purpose] they should not be saved... except to those whom it is given to see, hear and comprehend the Gospel.? In Matthew we have the same truth expressed in another way
Answer: are you saying that because these were not on God's good list so they were spoken to in parables? So before that everyone in the crowd must have been on his 'elect' list. This is a judgment reaction , the default is always love. this parallels how God treats us now , Drawing us all in but removing that if we sin too much. How do you equate this with (1 Tim. 2:3–4), (2 Peter 3:9). Should the prodigal son have brackets around it saying 'not applicable if you are on God's death list
I think God loves everybody and I think the word agape encompasses all God s love from the benevolent a patient love for the sinner, the intimate love for the saved and the even more intimate love for some 'elite' of the saved. Daniel and John both loved by God and both given the most spectacular visions, John 3 16 refer to all of these loves and I believe that Jesus died for all of us, he would do it again, he would do it just for one us whether we accepted it or not
I think God loved me before my salvation, may have hated me when i was working iniquity, but still loved me and loves me more now. The discriminatory God you describe would have put me off; You may well be misrepresenting God
