Quote:Interesting.
I am happy that you found every post of mine to be interesting :) . This is in fact interesting. :D
Quote:Muslims believe that Allah's love is conditional.
True, because Muslims are logical people, we believe that God is <b>FAIR</b>, and so, <b>how can God love the unbelievers and at the same time promise them eternal Hell?</b> That would be illogical. <b>How will any believer feel that with all his good deeds and his love to the Creator, then find that God Almighty loves the corrupt people equally?</b> This is unfair and illogical.
Plus, you have to be aware of what your own Bible said regarding this matter, here are the reference from your own Bible where God Almighty declared that <b>he do not love all people, and that he even HATE some of them. </b>
a time to love and a time to <b>hate</b>, a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:8
You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, <b>I abhorred them</b>. Leviticus 20:23
Anyone who does these things is <b>detestable</b> to the LORD, and because of these <b>detestable</b> practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. Deuteronomy 18:12
I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on the lifeless forms of your idols, and <b>I will abhor you</b>. Leviticus 26:30
Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, <b>but Esau I hated</b>." Romans 9:13
Here we find that God Almighty in the Bible does not love everyone as Christians claims.
Quote:(for example, Allah doesn't love Christian women),
Where did He say that He doesn't love Christian women?
Quote:but Muslim men are capable of loving people that Allah considers unlovable.
So, Muslim men are more forgiving and more loving than Allah???
You are proving to me how poor your understanding is, we have mentioned earlier, that there are many types of unbelievers, Allah, most surely does not love those who shows enmity to Muslims and their faith, other good, peaceful and respectful Christians or Jews, He even promised them Paradise.
"And there are, certainly, <b>among the People of the Book </b> [Jews and Christians], those who believe in God, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to God: They will not sell the Signs of God for a miserable gain! <b>For them is a reward with their Lord</b>, and God is swift in account.
(Quran, 3:199)"
"Not all of them are alike: <b>Of the People of the Book</b> [Jews and Christians] are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: <b>They are in the ranks of the righteous</b>.
(The Noble Quran, 3:113-114)"
Here you can clearly see that Allah does mention about the righteous Jews and Christians who believe in Allah Almighty and do righteousness and will have their Great Reward and enter Paradise, so why would a Muslim be prohibited to love such people whom Allah Almighty loves dearly?
I hope this point is clear by now insh a Allah.
Quote:Q1: Does Allah love unbelievers?
I guess I’ve explained this point.
Quote:Q2: Are Christians unbelievers?
Among them are people who have faith “believers”, but the majority of them are perverted transgressors (Qur'an 3:110)
Quote:I'll post my next questions once I see the answers to these first two questions.
Anytime Reep, we are here for you. :D
