Can an unrepentant sinner remain in their sins and be okay, because God loves them? Why does word repent come up in scripture if that were the truth?

@kellyjay saidUnconditional love is a love which loves without any conditions whatsoever.

@kellyjay saidI have been watching the way you construct your "arguments". Why don't you stick to your usual method? Why don't you just answer your own question in whatever way prefer, then declare this answer to be "the truth", and then deny that your opinion is an opinion on the basis that it conforms to "reality"?

@kellyjay said"Sin" is something that only exists in the minds and thoughts of people who believe there is an anthropomorphized supernatural will to transgress.

@kellyjay saidFeelings of contrition and the desire to see contrition in others has always been an element of the human condition because it is part and parcel of the interpersonal lubrication that keeps the moral cogs of communal living turning.

@suzianne saidThe connection is clear. Obviously, Kellyjay's view is that the "love" is not "unconditional" and is, instead, conditional upon there being repentance for "sins". There are plenty enough disconnects in what KellyJay thinks and writes without calling him out when there HASN'T been one.

@suzianne saidYou think there is a disconnect? How do you define both as you see them?

@fmf saidIf KJ believes God's love is "not unconditional", then that is the disconnect. The title clearly contains the word "unconditional".

@kellyjay saidDo you think God's love is "unconditional"? Or is it instead conditioned upon our actions?

@suzianne saidThere is no "disconnect". KellyJay's meaning is crystal clear. The thread title is a question.

@suzianne saidNo "game" is being played, Suzianne. There is no disconnect between the thread's title and the thread's OP. If you disagree, so be it.
I've already told you numerous times that I do not wish to play your games.
@suzianne saidDo you see 'repenting' as an action?

@divegeester saidIt would seem though that the prevailing ideology here, whether you yourself subscribe to it or not, is that a Christian ~ if he or she is to avoid "damnation" ~ must have faith in God, must worship God, must love God, must believe "in" Jesus, must obey the commandments - including those of Jesus, must do good works [otherwise the "faith is dead"], and must repent their"sins". Plenty to "do", in fact. Meeting those conditions aside, perhaps that is when the "unconditional love" kicks in.
Unconditional love is a love which loves without any conditions whatsoever.
