even as God is love...he is agape love.... as human we have unconditional love for our children and for the most part our family and closest friends...but Jesus on the cross bestowed love to all creation even as they probably shouted bad things and yet he said "forgive them for they know not what they do" none of us on this earth can innocently go to the cross allow ourselves to convicted of crimes we did not commit....and as Son of the Living God....be crucified as a human being....and still love everyone including His enemies..."Jesus said and lived up to that statement..."love your enemies" he is our example of the highest form of love ... agape love

we all get mad sometimes...as human beings we may a grudge against someone or something about someone like their orientation as gay or lesbian... but we don't think that the devil had a part in it... that it is better that we don't judge at all and let God be the only righteous Judge that He is.

we must understand that Jesus said "love one another as I have loved you...not just your friends and family... but don't love the evil they do...just love person for we were created by God in His image....He formed us out of the miry clay with His own hands....and breathed into us making us a "living soul" (Genesis KJV)

I hope all will hear me when I say that if "we as Christians don't show compassion and reach out to the worst people in life....who are rejected by the rest of the world.... is there any hope for them in this life before the die and are judged by God....

did not Paul who wrote countless beautiful letters noted as books in the of which my favorite verse galations 5:22-23 always captivates my heart... "but the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace longsuffering gentleness goodness faith meekness temperance against such there is no law

now he may have been a Christian killer before God blinded him and then gave Him sight.... represents him changing from his old ways and become God's loyal servant....and great leader in the bible....yes it is obvious God showed mercy to killer...

can we show mercy also to all people also endure the longsuffering of persecution that God wishes us to endure to break the chains that satan has on all humanity

for romans 3:23 says "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God

yet God broke that chain by dying on the cross and his blood hath forgiven us of our sins... He was beaten excruciatingly on the cross that all of our sickness and deseases may be healed.

He rose from the grave that we may know and believe that miracles are real...God is real and Heaven is waiting for us....


Our Father in Heaven bestowed agape love by sending his Son to the Earth a living sacrifice unto all creation

All this was done for us ... and all God wants is for us to be compassionate loving sweet gentle and giving unto all the people in to world that in the day we die we may be guiltless...for it was not us who hated the world... it was the world who hated us.... and if we can learn that doing God's should not be grievious ....but a delight....then the day will come when blessings shall pour on us like rain or snow and it will be so great we won't be able to contain it...

but I say when God opens doors...do not refuse a blessing for when is a blessing from God ever bad?

"God is love" it's another proof of the Trinity, there is a Lover (giver), a Lovey (receiver) and a Bond (communion) of Love. Father, Son and Spirit.

Romans 8:39 "nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 15:30 "I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,"

I Timothy 1:14 "and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

I totally agree with you johnny....John 1 vs 1 does say that In the beginning was the Word "Jesus is living Word as the bible illustrates His presence in the New Testament of the Bible" and the Word (Jesus) was with God and the Word (Jesus) was God....

now John 3:16 talks about

now John 3:16 also refers to both Our Heavenly Father and Jesus together as 2 deities separate ...as God gave His Son...

and finally the third deity is introduced by Jesus as the "comforter" and also introduced in the book of acts as the Holy Spirit...and is also referred to as the Holy Ghost...
