This post demonstrates when people have built up a view of God in their hearts and get
angry when people to do not agree with them, without realising the ideas are standing on
the Lords word.
Grace is an attribute of God, but love is His nature, with holiness and purity.
Where God is present, then life flows. I cannot relate to using the word grace as a replacement
of God, the Lord is "I am" And the beginning of this relationship is the cross and repentance,
a contrite heart, a heart desiring love.
wrongo. God is HOLY in each of His attributes. You cannot separate the holiness of God and call it an attribute. God IS Holy. I'm not now going to do a study on the attributes of God, but I most assuredly have, and the above statement is hogwash.
Someone is not reading what I wrote, and is full of emotion which is blinding them.
I wrote
"Grace is an attribute of God, but love is His nature, with holiness and purity."
What I meant is
God is love, God is Holy, God is pure but God has an attribute of grace.
It could have been miss-read the way I wrote it, but this is my intended meaning
I was saying I do not believe God is grace, but grace is an attribute of God.
So saying something that you actually agree with(in part) is hogwash is unfortunate.
A point is being made, as if I was saying we had to improve our minds. I said as Paul said
"In your relationships with one another,
have the same mindset as Christ Jesus"
Phil 2:5
With the tremendous variety of personalities and backgrounds of human beings, to state we become one with our thoughts is absolutely ludicrous and shows no understanding of scripture and is, in fact, a VERY ignorant and dangerous conclusion for one to make.
Let us listen to scripture
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another,
be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Cor 13:11
Finally, all of you,
be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
1 Peter 3:8
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you
be perfectly united in mind and thought.
1 Cor 1:10
this boggles the mind. truly. sin is not a fruit of anything. it is the condition of mankind separated from God.
"Then,
after desire has conceived,
it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
Jame 1:15
He went on: “
What comes out of a person is what defiles them."
Mark 7:20
"All these
evils come from inside and defile a person.”
Mark 7:23
"
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
John 10:27
"Jesus replied, “Anyone
who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and
we will come to them and make our home with them."
John 14:23
