That's why I put in "biblical love "..not the world's love....see how the love of God is synonymous with God Himself..and if we abide in love..we abide in God....why is that?..because God is love...

1 John 4:16 (NASB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
again, love makes up one of the attributes of God. He also judges, hates and condemns. Your theology is skewed.

So, God is hate now ?..God is condemn?....the scriptures say that God is love....not that He has love...any wrath or justice that comes to people will be a manifestation of His love..as He is love..

...wow...are you ever going to be pleasantly surprised when you meet your Father in heaven!...you have some wonderful revelations coming to you my brother!

Hyper grace teaches a form of anarchy and all-inclusiveness, all in the name of grace.

We have commands to follow when we are in Christ. Jesus himself said those who love me will obey my commands. These commands are thrown out the window by the hyper-grace proponents. It's very new agey, very sensual, and very appealing to the flesh.
Dude, WHO are you talking about????

NO ONE who is teaching the Gospel of Grace here is doing that.

You're throwing out accusations with no basis in fact.

Kinda like lying.

How 'bout you start backing up what you're saying with actual examples.

Sheesh.

False accusations.
I simply put Jesus ahead of grace without discounting grace.[/QUOTE]


what were you told, when you came to jesus christ. that you saved your self.

When I come to Christ, I come to the whole Person, not just one aspect.
The grace teaching has been taken to a level where grace is the main focus not the Jesus Christ.
I don't know how many ways I can say this without sounding redundant. (your quote)

what were you told, when you came to jesus christ. that you saved your self. why would he give out the holy spirit, to make you redundant. (if, you knew it, all already.at the begining)




your twist of word means nothing, without back up to what you said. your quotes in a hebrews , yet even in that book tells you about, a new covenant, yet the writer is a rich jewish person, at a guess writing to his own familly.

so your reasoning, has no place beside a bible quote. if its out of context to the point you make.

jesus ,introduction, was to introduce, you to god.

For God So Loved the World
16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life

(thats if, you have the holy spirit , etc)

Many put their emphasis on seeking the gifts rather than the Gift Giver.
Many now are exalting grace almost to the exclusion of the Source of all grace...Jesus.
Keep making the substitution and you have erected a doctrinal idol.
Read our posts, crossnote. That is NOT what is happening. We ALWAYS point to Christ and His Work. Like I've typed so many times before, the Gospel of Grace is


  • Who Jesus is
  • What He came to do
  • What that actually accomplished, and
  • Who those who put their faith in Christ are in Him.

I'm not sure how you're making the leap to us making an idol of Grace and excluding Christ from that framework . . .

in other words, you hate these word. because jesus told you, you can judge


love quotes scripture to show, err . it dose not sound like a echo, now watch this echo, that put jesus first before grace.


Matthew 7: Judging Others
1 "Judge not, that you be not judged.2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 "Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.

God loves/ God hates.
Is that new to you or is He going against His nature when He hates?

The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.Ps 5:5

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
(Psa 10:3)

you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.

What He hates is a manifestation of His love in action. You are really going to have a wonderful experience when you meet your Lord and Father!

Do you actually think God hates people?...what does John 3:16 mean?..God so loved the world.....show me where Jesus hated people?...He certainly didn't go along with the self-righteous religious Phariseees...but show me where it says that He hated them...

Jesus is the exact representation of the Father. Jesus said no one knows my Father.

So, whatever understanding of God we get from the Old Covenant that doesn't line up with Jesus' manifestation of the Father will be inaccurate.

Hebrews 1:1-3 (NASB)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
[SUP]2 [/SUP] in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.
[SUP]3 [/SUP] And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

I see him as sincerely wrong. If you hear his story on how it came about (his book), he was just making a call to holy living (on FB) and got backlash from certain people. This stirred him to address "hyper-grace" as some people seemed like they were opposed to living holy and used grace as an excuse.

Sincere, but wrong. At least because of his book God's grace is being discussed and Jesus exalted. :)
Yep.

Dr. Brown is a holiness-preaching Arminian. There is a definite theological template through which he views beliefs that conflict with his own. He's also known for his propensity for warring on the culture of the world - he spends an awful lot of time pointing to people's sins.

Like you, however, I am glad that Grace is being discussed. That's a good thing!

If you are going to define hate as his love what can I say.?
People in asylums have trouble with distinctions of that sort.

No one appointed me judge. I use discernment.

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

If Jesus is the exact representation of the Father's nature...and He is......show me where Jesus hated people...show me the scripture that shows that...and that will definitely end the discussion and keep us both out of the asylum..:cool:..

.it seems we have 2 different views of the love and grace of the Father and our Lord.....I never once thought that Jesus hated people....that's a new doctrine for sure...

Jesus is God. He was present in the Old Testament as well. You are trying to divorce Jesus from the God of the Old Testament. When God spoke in the Old Testament, When God laid down judgment, When God did anything, Jesus was present and not in disagreement.

I actually agree with you, God does hate. I think of it like this, if God loves life and people then God hates abortion. If God loves honesty and fairness then He hates lying and cheating. God does love, and on a level we can't even comprehend, but if He does love like that then there has to be a flip side. If He loves good then He can't also love evil. I can see why some are uncomfortable with this idea, and I would always be very careful talking about it, but it's true. If God is just then He has to punish evil, and that is why Jesus came, and the beautiful genius of His love/grace/mercy/justice on that cross. I understand why it doesn't make sense to the carnal mind, but man I love our God, from top to bottom, from left to right, we serve an AWESOME God, but He also has a perfect hate, and in that hate He is still perfect. It's not the same fickle, selfish, petty hate we are so familiar with, and we can never think of God on our level, but I do agree that God does hate.

Ok...show me where Jesus hated people...Jesus hates the sin...there are many "things" that the Lord hates...like anything that destroys His children.....it's a fair request...Jesus is the exact representation of the Father..because He said no one knew Him...so He came to reveal His true nature...

I guess this is the new 'love'

Rev_6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Rev_14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
