"God is indifferent to sin. What we do can neither please nor displease Him. If we could, He would be subject to pleasure, and passion."

He paid a severe price for His indifference.

It must be awful to see all of the different shapes, shades of color, seasons or your creation turning to you and feel nothing or be moved by nothing. How can anyone believe God does not have a streak of practical joker in Him when you look in the mirror or a keen sense of humor watching a Grandmother listening to her grandchild sing off key and loving it?

And yet, God still loves us? Kosta50 posted in #105:

God is simply helping us become restored to our original state, the way we were created. Those who turn to God stand a chance. Those who don't -- well, they will never be restored. He is doing that not because He needs us, or because he is "lonely" (God is one but He is not alone), or because we "earned it," but simply because He loves us. Sin does not affect Him, you can be sure of that.

If sin does not matter to God, what kind of love can He possibly have for us?
