I don't see how the spiritual strength of love be stronger

nor do I see how love is possible when one is most tempted to hate

and I highly doubt that jail or prison can beat spiritual growth in anyone

for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God

I hate gouging my eyes

I hate chopping off my hands

therefore, I hate righteousness

I hate holiness

and I hate purity

I hate repentance

And I hate good as well

see, here is my point- you wrote all this, which most of I agree with, but you did NOT use the word " saved". you and your church seem to go to great lengths to avoid that .

redeemed, forgiven, justified, yes, but, it is much better just to say the truth- believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

saved. all in Christ, done by Christ, all glory to Christ alone, he is Lord and Savior.

therefore, when you make Christ your personal Lord, He saves you.
He is very slick with his choice of words..........and we know from past experience he does not believe the bibles version of immediate, eternal salvation based upon faith.........he even has Macaroni convinced that he believes like we do.............nor will he admit openly that he has been banned at least twice...........

He who is without sin, let him be the first to cast the stone

Obeying Matthew 5 will also disable the ability to cast the stone,

Are you okay Mr. Anointed?

You are not understanding at all what Jesus was teaching here if this is what you think.:cry:

God already knows of bad intentions, and even knowing this, we fear the light because of consequence that God might forcefully shove down our throats

Because God is justice
My bible states clearly that...

God is SPIRIT
God is LOVE
God is LIGHT

I remember justice being part of God's actions.......but do not remember a "BE" verb tied to justice........

Wow....God actually defines himself as love

Well now we see how you really feel, but this my friend is your projection and your feelings towards Him not about who He is...the cross should tell you different about who He is

NIV1984 James 4:12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
