>>But the whole point is that you don't have to work to gain God's grace much like you don't require your childern to work for your love. It's unconditional at any time, even on their or your death bed.

>If your children were starving, would you give them food? If you saw one walking into the street in front of a bus, would you try to stop him/her? Believe me, whatever God feels for us, it sure doesn't qualify as 'love'.

I'm sorry you fell that way Alan. But perhaps God wants people like yourself, who are caring and loving, to help those people that are in need.
