Richard Beck has asked a great question about the description of love in 1 Corinthians 13. I’ve even heard sermons in which the preacher, on the basis of the equation “God is love,” substituted “God” in place of the word “love” in the passage.
But does God really “keep no record of wrongs”?
It seems to me that Christians who believe in eternal punishment have two options: to abandon that belief, or to say that the love that Paul is describing here does not characterize divine love.
