@ExtraEcclesiamNullaSalus you 'disagreed' with this post --- which is weird, because all it is, is a question, and how do you disagree with a question? ((whatisthisidon'teven)) -- but you didn't reply.
i was wondering if you could explain what your reaction meant; it's unclear to me.
do you disagree that i love someone whom it is impossible for me to do otherwise?
do you disagree that i should be asking whether a very common human assumption can be shown from scripture?
are you just generally offended by this post so you wanted to put a red x on it?
why does a brand-new member with 0 posts, yet savvy enough about the forum to tune their privacy settings so i can't speak to you privately, go directly to this thread & put a big red x on what is nothing more than an honest question? i don't get it. i may be an idiot sheep, but i'm smart enough to realize you're not a 'new member' -- could you just clarify for me what you're trying to communicate?
thanks

I guess that is the only thing you can do isn't it, ignore what is plainly written and say it isn't in the bible:
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you,(believers) as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
I wouldn't mind, but if you are going to respond to a post you should at least address the question asked in it

Can't you see the forest for the trees ? ? ? He said, IF YOU LOVE ME, is only true about some one who is BORN AGAIN, because ONLY the one who has the HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE THEM, can LOVE LIKE THAT. Then after you have the HOLY SPIRIT in you, THEN and only THEN can YOU TRULY LOVE GOD with Agape LOVE. Most of us on this thread BELIEVE we can and WILL KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS OUT OF LOVE FOR HIM, and it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SALVATION; however, it has everything to do with GOD's LOVE that HE POURED IN US, Rom. 5:5. And when we stumble we confess it as SIN.
WHY!
Read em and WEEP!
2 Timothy 1:9 (HCSB)
9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.
The bolded above = nothing pal.......the warning is not for the loss of salvation......wake up......chastening and loss of reward and or fellowship......
and let me tell you.....stupid games like the bolded above.......to be frank is idiotic and something a 7th grader would do......akin to...I am not gonna be your friend on the playground anymore....
and we can just as easily say the same thing about your view if we were 14.....

I bet you wear a suit and tie every service and thank God how righteous you are right?
Have you every passed on the Lord's supper because you felt unworthy because of your lifestyle?

would that cover , i thinking i speak for god, because i read my bible ,
only humans put jesus on the cross, the dates speak for them selfs, they are still looking for his skeleton ,
even the word resurrection needs a meaning, to get to a better understanding to what took place in the gospels.

Galatians 5:1-5 New International Version (NIV)
Freedom in Christ
5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.
