which is just a matter of degrees, so then God has degrees of love?

are you ok with God loving you less then me?

Or how about if you were a twin in your Mother's womb and God decided he liked you less and that all your decendents were going to be lost?

Malachi 3:18
Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

By quoting this scripture, are you saying that God loves people who serve him more than people who don't? Is that your answer to the question you quoted?

Not even a difference of degree?

That scripture just popped into my mind. No, God is no respector of persons.
GOD so loved the world that HE prepared a body to be the sinless sacrifice
for the sins of the world. God didn't send His Son into the world to condemn
the world but that the world through the Son, could be saved. Jesus said in
John 12:32, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

How could this be accomplished! After Jesus was lifted up, the Promise and
Love of the Father was poured out on the Day of Pentecost. When we have
the Holy Ghost inside, we have His Love shed abroad in our hearts. If we show
forth the Love of the Father, it will draw mankind to HIM.

Our late father loved each of his eleven children the same. Whether the
"children" born of him obey or disobeyed, I will assure you, Dad still loved
every one of us. IF anyone tried to hurt or destroy a one of us, he would
go after them, with a bull dog tenacity.
