Absolute Love is Absolute in giving mercy and judgment.   From "God's Glory in Salvation Through Judgment" by James M. Hamilton Jr.   "Yet, Yahweh is pleased to show kindness and as he declared to Moses that he would show mercy to whomever he pleased (Ex. 33:19) He chooses to show mercy to one whose unworthiness underscores the riches of his grace. Thus the free, unconstrained mercy of God is displayed in all its glory, and the burning of Jericho makes the salvation of Rahab and her family more heavy with the weight of the glory of God."      We know little of this weight of the glory of God's Absolute Love because we have taken the judgment of Love lightly and replaced it with a love that is meaningless and powerless.
