Very good. And very clearly reasoned from Scripture. Too bad he got the "rationalist" wrong at the beginning. No rationalist would say "Well I think so!" in answer to the question. He would reason it clearly and deductively from what he considers true premises.
The rationalist would say: If it ain't deductive, you don't know it. And he would have a well reasoned answer to the question - and laugh at anyone who said "well I think so" as being
ir-rational.
Dr. Bob used clear deductive thinking to say "No, God does not love everyone". His true premise was God's Word is true. His clear deduction was if Scripture says God does not love someone, then God does not love everyone. So Dr. Bob, God bless him, is a Christian rationalist. He should take care not to undermine the "reason" which underlies his reasoning.
