As a rule, when the Bible uses the term "men," it's with reference to mankind in general/all of humanity (men and women).

I quote from a variety of Bible translations, studier. My quotation of Matthew 5:43-48 at Post 108 (which you insist is proof of God's "unconditional" love) is from the New World Translation. Below are the same verses from the King James Version with the same expressions bolded in red (as was...

Thank you for your pleasant words, homwardbound. I want you and everyone to know that when I post a rebuttal to something anyone says about scripture, it is not meant to be regarded as a contest. It's simply my attempt to help others to be corrected by scripture. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture...

I believe 1 Peter 4:8 is referring to love among humans, that we are able to overlook each other's flaws out of love for one another.

There's no confusion on my part. I meant to write "unconditional," so it's obviously a typo, based on my preceding sentence. But thanks for pointing out my mistake.

Nowhere in 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 does it say everyone is forgiven. Those verses simply say humanity is given the opportunity to become reconciled with Almighty God.

I will when you provide the exact verse(s) at Romans chapter 9 that you want to direct my attention to.

Go ahead and reject to your heart's content. That doesn't change the reality that modern Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah. The fact that they're not Christians speaks for itself.

Not anymore, Gideon300. After they rejected Jesus as the Messiah and prodded the Roman government to execute him, that was the final nail in their coffin in terms of their being considered God's chosen people. Scripture confirms that.

The conditions are right there, studier. You are simply ignoring them. Matthew 5:43 “You heard that it was said: ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ Matthew 5:44 However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:45 so that...

GWH: All three of the scriptures you posted have conditions. I will bold the conditions in red for you, and include part of the context in other verses, when necessary. New International Version -- John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes...

Actually, studier, throughout scripture, we are reminded that God's love is based on being obedient to him. No such thing as "without condition" aka "unconditional love" from Jehovah/Yahweh the Father is found anywhere in his inspired word, the Bible.

Your comment is contradictory, GWH. When love is unconditional, it doesn't require repentance.

Really? That what you stated in the title of your thread: "Unconditional love verses from God to us the people"

You are ignoring the context to both of those scriptures, EddieM. In fact, Titus 2:13 mentions two different persons: God (the Father) and the Savior (Jesus Christ the Son). Certain translations attempt to combine those two persons into one, but the context (surrounding verses) says otherwise...
