okay, just a quick clarification, what about the principle of give and it shall be given unto you, good measure... Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.." Theodore Roosevelt Exposure 101

The fact is that Gods love is unconditional. There is a sense in which that is true. However, enjoying a relationship with God is conditional. Continuing to receive God's caring love is conditional. I recognize there is some theological debate about this, but I also think one side of that debate is mistaken.

I wouldn't really bring up Paul and marriage because he said
in 1 Cor. 7:8, �But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.� And, in 1 Cor. 7:24,27, �Brethren, let each man remain with God in that condition in which he was called� 27Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife.�
