sorry israfil, but youre still not clear here. you originally talked of Gods love of creation, then you said you meant his love for, not of, (whats the difference?)and then you said God loves his creation, all of it. but then you introduce a stipulation in "whether it is humans or animal", indicating you are excluding non-human, non-animal elements. could we have a clear statement, please, as to what you view as being the object of Gods love, and what the nature of his love is?

Fred you are looking too deep into one word that I am using interchangably because whether God has a "love for" or "love of" the meaning is that he is not only the governor of the universe but also the caretaker of the universe, and its inhabitants. I believe I've noted the particulars in my last post on what that means. When I stated "whether humans or animals" is a statement which is symbolic for his love for all creation "whether big or small" "whether bird or lizard" "whether the moon or sun" all things that exist within the universe he has love for. |
