All love. No expectations or requirements.
And when they say "God loves you", is it not assumed the words "just the way you are" can and should be tacked on the end?
I sense a similar vibe when progressives claim "We are all God's children".
Are we children in a household characterized by a generous allowance and lots of hugs and the complete absence of chores and responsibilities?
How can such a household function?
If a human father doesn't lay down the law for his children, then "everyone does what is right in his own eyes". And the result is chaos.
People end up hurt. And lost.
Relationships get broken.
For a truly loving Parent, there is no contradiction whatsoever between "I love you as you are" and "Here are the expectations on you as a member of this family".
Being a part of a family necessarily brings obligations.
