https://lacrossetimes.news/home/christian-conservatives-rattled-after-learning-jesus-loved-everyone/Scholars poured through the pages of the new testament looking for any indications of a wink wink or even a nudge nudge in reference to Jesus loving everyone, but have yet to find any.
Its just not there, one scholar said. I suppose you could try and cherry pick something and make it fit your own narrative, but then you wouldnt really be following the teachings of Jesus Christ so much as youd be following the teachings of Mike Pence.

Jesus did NOT love everyone, because he never existed.
(I had to chime in, and didn't want to disappoint. We ARE a contentious lot.)

Just not in the biblical sense.
