3gb,
you ask,
Does he love sinners
i say,
Yes he does.
God loves sinners
God hates sin,
Romans 5 8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
2 peter 3 9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
Luke 15 4 7
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
so you see 3gb,
God does love a sinner,
and especially when that sinner repents.
Cheers
