I know I'm not going to change anyone's way of seeing things. That is what is different. It doesn't contradict the quote from the cannon of Dordt, though I don't hold anything outside the Bible as inspired. As I mentioned, all scripture references to love support what I'm saying.

The entire book of 1st John

De. 10:15 God "SET" his affection on them

Titus 3:4 which was already spoken on

John 3:16 this verse has been beaten to death so I see no reason to pursue it further

I am at a roadblock, it comes down to whether you can understand what I'm saying or not. It is like when you talk to someone about election, they will never grasp it by back and forth banter. Spiritual truths are revealed through His Spirit. What I'm saying isn't something new, it is just seeing God's love in a different way. I can't change your thinking but if you allow yourself to breakaway from the traditional way of seeing God's love, you'll see God in a more Holy and marvelous light. Remember, for all you who are reformed, myself included, we didn't understand the doctrine of election because we were wiser or smarter, but only because God chose to reveal another aspect of the mystery to us.

I have not had to change any of my other theological positions by taking this new view of God's love. I'm still reformed and I still believe in election etc. It isn't dangerous or heretical thinking, it is just breaking away from what you have been traditionally taught.
