He would say that the use of the aorist is
making the most general statement possible without elaboration--God loved
the
world--without any information coded in the verb about when it started or
stopped, or whether it was punctilliar or repeated, or whether it could be
counted or not.<
I believe you've just described,
-don't you love it?-
a simple past tense, "God loved the world".
