Does this statement ignore the essence of agape love as found in 1 Cor 13?Why do you give God's instructions about what you yourself cannot do?
YHWH is a consuming fire, by which I mean it spreads. You really cannot apply Agape to YHWH directly. You can become part its burning. You can love other people, and you can work hard to uphold the name. It is a fire that does not go out, and so you should associate it with pain and with cleansing. It is not a human kind of thing. YHWH is more raw than human, like a barrier separating our world from nothingness. It speaks like wind or thunder, not like people. If you could physicalize it and hug it you'd be cut up. Agape is for people but the YHWH is intangible.The question here is, "Given the specific definition of Agape provided in 1 Cor. 13:4-8, what is to be materially done to Love YHWH/Jehovah, other than merely talking about it, chatting with one's ideas, and having nice feelings?"
Please notice here neither the generic "god" word nor the specific title of "God" is being used. This discussion is not for those who worship and pursue "gods and goddesses." It is for those who are the People of YHWH/Jehovah. His commonly used title "God" these days is far too easily mishandled and misrepresented.

You have not answered the question of this Thread. Are you perhaps confused? You can be prayed for.As I grew older and lived away from my parents, I kept in touch with them weekly, or monthly as the case might be. There was always a feeling of family between us, the memories bound us together as did our actions.
Now they are gone, but I still think fondly on them even though at the end, there was some problems I would rather have avoided if it had been possible.
My heavenly Father, the Almighty God, listens to my prayers and helps me with his Word to get through the days. He carries my daily burden as scripture says, though it is done through his son, Jesus Christ. He is closer to me than my parents in that He always is there and listens to my prayers. Comfort from Him comes from His scriptures, and after prayer for it.
Do you worship and adore "the least of these?""That which you've done to the least of my people you've done unto me"

Lol. You cannot answer.
All of your statements are pure speculation from a busy imagination.YHWH is a consuming fire, by which I mean it spreads. You really cannot apply Agape to YHWH directly. You can become part its burning. You can love other people, and you can work hard to uphold the name. It is a fire that does not go out, and so you should associate it with pain and with cleansing.

What are you trying to defend here? Do you even know? Lol.I don't believe that God hears the words of haughty ones. Beware Proverbs 16:18 may apply.
I believe that the answer is that we are not to worship and adore anyone but YHWH. We are to do good to the least of Christ's brothers....so do you do this? Who are Christ's brothers? Who are the least of them?
Whilst you are judging everyone else.....do you see these statements of yours as "Christ-like"? I find them more Pharisaical TBH.
What is the definition of a hypocrite?...."a person whose actions are out of harmony with his words".....are you doing all of the things you condemn in others? How would we know you aren't the biggest fake on RF? You carry no weight here....you are just another anonymous voice big noting yourself as far as I can tell.
Since I am non denominational, and non Trinitarian, how do I do what you asked? "1 Cor. 13:4-8, what is to be materially done to Love YHWH/Jehovah?"You have not answered the question of this Thread. Are you perhaps confused? You can be prayed for.

The first word of your "answer" is "I." That clearly tells us who is most important to you.
I agree. Because you are empty, you cannot speak for Christ.Obviously you are unaware. You ask questions of others but cannot answer questions yourself.....why is that?
By the tone of your posts "I" seems to be your own most important concern.
Since "I" am the only one I can speak for, grammatically I could not use any other pronoun.
So, if you worshipped and adored pitiful people, then you would be worshipping and adoring Christ. You said it, not me.I don't believe that God hears the words of haughty ones. Beware Proverbs 16:18 may apply.

”How Does One Actually Love YHWH/Jehovah?"
Do you keep His Commandments? Just answer the question with facts. Try not to speak milque toast excuses from church.
Which of His commands have you ever in part obeyed, other than to not steal, not murder, and not commit sexual sin?Who are you replying to, me?
I try my best, but at times I miss the mark. Romans 3:23 applies to all of us.
Going out and preaching quite a lot! Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 13:10. I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.Which of His commands have you ever in part obeyed, other than to not steal, not murder, and not commit sexual sin?
