I would just say, Nehemiah, that i believe 'we can't say that others cannot understand something', how could we know what others can or cannot understand from the Lord? they might even though we don't, like the body of Christ, where every member supplies that which the other lacks or needs.

PilgrimsHope, my longing has been now satisfied this one time, by your comment. I hope i can similarly say in agreement with you that Love "NEEDS" and object, God "NEEDED" an object to love. perfect harmony between three persons of the Godhead for eternity past would never initiate the creation...

EXACTLY! isn't this "Who God Is?" you said it perfectly, imagine being perfectly content, satisfied, filled, BUT no one to share it with. that truly would be sad. and that is why i believe HE create all of this and us.

Maxwell, please believe me when i say, i have no desire to offend or insult, even though i can be prone to do so. i earnestly desire to be on one mind, in the Lord, with someone, anyone, yet find it hard to realize. i hope we can move toward that end. that being said, i would hope that you will...

Ah, excellent Magenta, i was going to go toward the word "please" and it's various forms in the NT, but withheld to remain on the exact topic Maxwell was addressing, BUT, now i feel it's appropriate to bring into this subject of "God is Love" the concept of "please" "pleasure", "pleasing". i...

OK, so if i understand you, you are saying that since God is complete and in need of nothing, He could therefore not be selfish-ly working a benefit to Himself which He doesn't need, or I guess even want. Only one problem, if one is perfectly content, the why does one act(e.g. if God was without...

I agree, but currently i was trying to entertain a discussion about what does it mean that God is love? we can change to another aspect of "Who is God?" is desired...

this is going to be a difficult thread for most, but i do want to travel this with others for two reasons. to receive confirmation or correction from the Holy Scriptures and the Lord, in others. i have a few other tough things to ponder together, but let's stay with "God is Love"(from Magenta)...

or maybe as 1Co13 does, "love seeks not it's own" whatever that means is, as I believe, is "Who is God". I find this thought could turn many doctrines upside down... am i insane?

oh maybe another way is the "agape" definition in 1Co13...

as i said in my "structure", you don't have to follow it. everyone is free in Christ to do as he is directed. my structure could be wrong.

and please, i don't want to be preachy, I WANT FELLOWSHIP in biblical discussion. Forgive me if i say something in a bad manner, i'm trying.

yes, i have an answer from what i currently believe and hopefully i am not insane. lol. would love the comments, replies, or rebukes. "Rebuke a wise man and he shall love thee" it would be wise for me to invite criticism. so... ...God has not, nor ever will do anything selfish. if it feels...

Yes, but I left it open to begin and Magenta was the first to respond with "God is love." So I asked previously...\ Well, let's start with what Magenta has replied, "God is Love." I would then add to that 1Jhn reference, 1Co13, "love seeks not it's own" and ask the question, "Does God ever do...

thx, but how do i delete this thread/forum ? i want to go to the other one i started, new at this, "Who is God and What is the Gospel ?"

Well, let's start with what Magenta has replied, "God is Love." I would then add to that 1Jhn reference, 1Co13, "love seeks not it's own" and ask the question, "Does God ever do anything SOLELY for Himself?" Or "does He ALWAYS do everything for the benefit of others?" Let's begin with that. I'll...

thx j

I agree and submit to the site terms. I just noticed that sometimes, discussions get off on tangents, then become confusing with multiple topics going back and forth. I was hoping, in a feeble attempt, to forestall that issue. I'm new at this and very much desire communication with other...

Well, I'm guessing Magenta, as best as I can figure this CC app out, is that your responses are in the form of scripture and art. I like that. Let me respond to your post, "God is love." In 1Co13, it is written, "love seeks not it's own." Do you believe that God does not seeks His own ? or...
