DOES JOHN 3:16 TEACH A UNIVERSAL LOVE OF GOD EVEN TOWARD UNREPENTANT SINNERS?
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Feb 28, 2009 in Theology
In this post from his interesting series on misquoted Bible verses, built around a video clip of Dr. James R. White of the fine Christian work Alpha & Omega Ministries, my friend and brother in the Lord Daniel Chew tells us:
John 3:16 is one of the most misquoted verses in the Bible. From a beautiful text that teaches the love of God in saving sinners, the synergists have made it into a proof-text for the universal love of God towards all and every sinner, even to the unrepentant reprobate. In this video, Dr. James White shows through exegeting the verse itself that John 3:16 does not teach universal saving love. (Online source)
Daniel, who is author of an excellent refutation of the pragmatic dreams of Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren called Driven Away by Purpose: An Analysis of the Purpose Driven Life and Related Issues, is a young man from Singapore whom I met because God is using the Internet to advance His Kingdom. Soli Deo gloria!
