okay so i made this thread knowing i will offend many people, but these things must be said. I have seen people on here who claim to know god yet do not understand his nature. This is who god is- He is a kind and gentle loving father, patient and giving. He finds our flaw and brokeness adorable because it's through those he is strong. But Some of you still cling to the old testament ways, what i mean is you focus so much on the law and being obedient- so much on learning scripture you never learn the reason all this was made. Don't get me wrong it's good to do and know these things, but some of you focus so much on this all you do not have his love in you. Those law and every word of god was written in love, that is why the bible is like fire. Many of you do not see the god i see, nor know the god i know. I mean some of you have been christians for many years but do not know him, i have been a christian for less than a year and yet i know him so well. Why is that? It's because of what i have been saying all along, Seek his heart above all else. You must be willing to quit being stubborn and admit you might be wrong, you must humble yourself before him. Now for those of you who do know god you know this does not apply to you- you know who you are:] But for those of you this offends this is probably because i am speaking to you- you know who you are. I say all these things out of love because there isn't much time left. You can know all the scripture you want but if there is no love it's not going to matter, Some of you see yourselves as righteous and upright. But who is righteous and upright if they are not childlike before god?
