Mr. Sprinkles;
Thanks for your reply. Actually, God does love His creation, which is what John 3:16 is saying. For God so loved [the world], Cosmos or His creation.
We make the mistake of saying "For God so loved {everybody}, which is NOT the case. He loves His people who were "chosen before the foundation of the world". This talk drives people up the walls but if you study what Jesus taught, you will find that every time He touched on the subject of 'exclusivity' of His believers, they wanted to Kill Him.
Most Christians will fight you on this subject and I was in that camp for many years.
Blessings to you.
