Does God love and accept all His children, no matter what they believe?

Someone pointed out that God loves atheists every bit as much as other people.

Do you think that the love of God shines on every human being, regardless of their belief in one religion or another, or lack of belief in any of them?

Would being a child of God be automatic and complete acceptance?

What are your views on this?

    No.

    God loves all people and wants all to repent and accept Jesus and the Gospel.He will not accept everyone's beliefs just because liberals,atheists and antichristian say he must.(I have seen more postings on R&S then I could possibly remember where atheists,antichristians and liberals have said so).Christians are God's children.Why would God approve and accept the views of those that reject,appose Him and the bible truth.Why would He accept those that blaspheme?Why would he accept those that persecute and mock true christians.Why would He accept those that arrogantly say He must accept whatever they believe even if those beliefs are lies or untrue?God is God and He decides.

    Revelation 20:10-15

    King James Version (KJV)

    10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

    11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

    12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

    13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

    14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

    15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    God loves the whole world (John 3:16), but not every living human is God's child (1 John 1:12).

    That's my "view", because that's what His Word says.

    Not all people are God's children Sara. All people are his creation, but not all his children.

    Only those who are born again or born form above are God's children. Yes, it absolutely matters what you believe.

    no, because the Lord God said Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." one must study the Holy scriptures why God hated Esau.

    And in Genesis 3-15 God speaking to satan. "and I will put enmity between you and the woman, between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thy head and you shall bruise its heel." It is the Lord God who elects those whom He wishes to serve Him, and we must be courteous to all men as far as it is in us. why would we say the Lord God hates atheists, when they dont know Him or believe He exists? Is it not then our duty to make the Lord God of Israel known to them and Christ Jesus whom He sent? as for gays and homosexuals, they know the commandment of the Lord God "man shall not lie with mankind as with woman kind it is an abomination" it is quite clear. They can receive forgiveness through Christ Jesus our Lord if they repent of same and sin no more. to say they are born with it, is like saying that God created them that way, and I cant believe that the Lord God would be then so cruel to make a law, condemning same. they have a choice to repent like the rest of us and turn away from the desires of strange flesh.

    Yes God loves all people the same...no matter what they are

    however....they still have to go to hell if they are not in Christ...Hell is the punishment for sin...God is without sin and cannot be with it.

    Well, I would like to believe that he accepts and loves all of his creations. It's just how we interpret things there are going to be people that will disagree or agree.

    As my Mother used always to say, "God loves you just the way you are," and my reply would always be, "Yes. But He doesn't want you to stay the way you are." No limits to the expansion of consciousness, awareness of God which Is Love.

    suicide, blasphemy, worship of antichrist (very speedy-white-superman-gay-red eyed-gloved jew mason), receiving mark of the beast (rfid chip, small grey world passport, electronic tattoo, and 666 tattoo by lasers), and going into ufo ship (aliens=ghosts=demons) lead to hell.

    Not if you put the wrong type of oil on his sacrifices

    Not if you dare to start a fire without his permission

    Not if you're homosexual

    Not if you're on your period and don't recognise yourself as "unclean" for the rest of the day

    Some loving god you got there!
