The apostle John contradicts himself with loving the world
Does the apostle John contradict himself about love & the world?
In the gospel of John, chapter 3, he writes God so loved the world
In his first letter, second chapter verse 15, he writes do not love the world.
How can God love the world, but if you do, the love of the father is not in you. Why did God so love the world he sent his son to save the world, but we can’t love the world?
In the gospel of John, the word world, means people. God loves the people of the world.
In the letter of John, the word world, means stuff. God doesn’t want us to love the temporary stuff of the world. If God wants us to love even our enemies I think it’s safe to love the people of the world. John did not intend to write do not love the people of the world, just do not love the stuff of the world, which would by in agreement with Jesus, saying where your treasure is, your heart is. If you love stuff, stuff will perish, people can have eternal life.
““For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.”
John 3:16-17 NASB1995

“Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”
