Robin,

hisalone claims a subjective and objective love of God for all mankind. Pilgrim asked him to provide Scriptural evidence for what he says but he didn't provide it yet. He then says that we have been taught something different and that it is therefore understandable that we hesitate to change our way of thinking about this matter to his.

I quote for him something from the Canons of Dordt. I simply ask him how he reconcile his view of "love for all" with "while He leaves the non-elect in His just judgement to their own wickedness and obduracy". If God also loved the non-elect why would He leave them to their own wickedness? For me that is not a sign of love, whether objective or subjective as hisalone claims. Hisalone effectively claims that what Pilgrim has been taught about this matter is not correct. And as far as I know Pilgrim stands by the Canons of Dordt and therefore hisalone implies that the Canons of Dordt is in error.

I therefore don't understand your reaction.
