God is Love

Well there is no argument then. You dont believe that anyone is eternally tortured.
Good then.

As I said what does the Word say without changing the text to suit any agenda?

Its your thread. You tell me.

My thread was written about the love of God, you took elsewhere for whatever reasons you had.

Ok your statement about Gods love is contrary to the Bible. Paul defined love:

Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not;
love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not its own, is not provoked,
taketh not account of evil;
rejoiceth not in unrighteousness,
but rejoiceth with the truth;
beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Love never faileth:
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ASV)

By this biblical definition of love, there should be no everlasting punishment for anyone, and regardless of how people live they should still be in the Kingdom of God, if God followed Pauls defninition.

Clearly there is a discrepancy between what you call Gods love and what Paul refers to as love.

Well are you attempting to call into question several scriptures by your interpretation of one?

No. You should do that because you presented a biased and incorrect statement about what Gods love is about.

The whole thing is a mess. But lets deal with this one.
One of Gods commandments is to love your enemies.
What does God do with His enemies.
Eternal torment?
What does God do with people who do not know of Christ?
What does God do with people whose names are not in the book of life?

Everlasting punishment?

What you say does not sound like love.

You think God does not want us to love our enemies? God is showing all of His enemies in mankind love right now, His long suffering and love for sinners is giving them room to repent. If He were not then judgment day would be upon us. What God is doing with people now while they are alive is showing them lovingkindness calling them to repent. After judgment day that long suffering grace is removed and His wrath comes into play.

How is God doing this?

Sunshine, air. there is nothing anyone has that God hasn’t given us and so many are unwilling to acknowledge Him or thank Him. You have eyes that see, ears that hear, a heart that beats and you have today, none of this is owed you. The whole universe for our lives is a gift, which leads me to see why an ungrateful world would want to deny that they owe God thanks. God gives and takes away, which should show us that we need to be grateful.

Today we can come to God and be saved, because nobody is saved tomorrow it never arrives and isn’t promised to anyone either.

God does not have enemies. Enemies implies some sort of equal footing.

How do people know that God is doing all that?

Enemies imply no such thing.

Sure it does. Are plankton your enemy? God is further above any created being than we are above plankton.
