That is one confusing place, and some of the people there have me convinced that they from a completely different planet. From what I saw and read, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of love in the posts. How does one discuss the Bible and talk about God with out love? That confuses me.
I don't know, maybe I was never gifted to be the 'brains' in the body of Christ, but I can't look at scripture and pull each word apart in a logical sense, or argue that God truly exists based on my knowledge of scripture. When I pick up my Bible and read the Word, I hear a God crying out to His people in love and wanting, a wonderful Creator longing to be part of the lives of His creation. I read love letters that are an invitation to come to know and experience His love for ourselves. I can't even begin to think about God or scripture or my understandings and experiences of Him with out it being linked to relationship, emotions and/or love.
Yeah, I'm definitely not the brains.
Amen Sister not many see the word as a Love story, even in the First especially do not see the love of God in there with all the battles of war, and yet even today still war.
And Sister that is nothing more than the flesh nature fighting God to be God as shown when God delivered God's first chosen out of Egypt, not wanting any man to be in bondage, for all do have free will to choose truth over error
What I see God is angry at is: others taking away others free will choice, and by force in words are trying to be in control using God as their way to get their way.
Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the
flesh persecuted him
that was born after the
Spirit, even so
it is now.
I am so elated you stay out of there until called and ready by God to stand in God's unfathomable love to mankind
For I do know and understand how we with our emotional cares, can and do get in the way and that old flesh rises right out of the grave and then a flesh fight occurs and truth in Spirit and truth can and does get lost.
I see this as if "I" get in the way by being intense as to tell truth, then I get too involved emotionally and need to see I am being
intensi fried, and need to get some quiet time, to regroup and hear what God tells me.
Now this is what i hear "just love them all" tell them I just love them, and show it by love as in 1 Cor 13:4-13 not by 1-3 So here I am hoping and praying for all those that are caught up in the works programs as I once was to see right on through to the other side, God's pure love side Heaven where Christ is at, and has sent the holy Spirit that led him to us that believe, and there is no certain order to that, none. as those that say one must speak in tongues as evidence or else.
This type of attitude makes salvation dependent upon us mankind, instead of thanksgiving and praises to God that is not able to be understood, unless born again from God by God the free gift to us all that believe God, with no certain Mathematical formula. God calls are we listening? God does just love us all
That is a fact Jack and when see this there is no turning back, at least this is what I see, and know from being like Saul so to speak before he became Paul
Just keep loving Sister those that go against you. Just smile in sure security and love them no matter what. Walk away if you have to, for i know you do not desire to harm anyone
No that is the love of God compassion to all and for all
For how can one claim love unless?
[h=3]Luke 6:32[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]32 [/SUP]For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Is this not what Christ did died for all, to give us all that beleive new life in the resurrected Christ in Spirit and truth?
