Brad,

I think that probably the majority on this discussion board do not believe God only loves the elect. Their are some also (myself) that believe God has never hated the elect just for the very reason you give about loving the WORLD for a father even when he is angry still loves his children.

Could you give me your interpretation of any references in a reformed creed that teaches God loves every human being?


Thanks,
William
