The Bible says, "love is not provoked". But their silence about 1 Cor 13:4 - 7 is provoking consternation in me. I am being provoked. They are not wrong provoking me. It is I who am wrong being provoked. It's crazy I say.

Paul also was provoked, so what does that say about the men God chooses to teach us?
Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. Acts 17:16

FYI 2 Corinthians 9:2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
Wait a gosh darn minute! Love isn't love I see, according to The Bible.
Zechariah 8:14 For thus says Yahweh of Armies: "As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath," says Yahweh of Armies, "and I didn't repent

I think I'm one of the bad guys too.

The Bible is saying a person should not FEEL. I say the writer wrote a person should not DO. See?
There is scripture which says "provoke them to love" which is why sometime someone changed love does not provoke to love does not become provoked. PROVOKE means to make something happen or to stimulate. I think the meaning of love from a human standpoint is to be stimulated.
Why do I think it is written love does not provoke and also (at Hebrews 10:24) people for love should stir up other people to love (provoke - same word)?
First of all, it is a different form of the word at Hebrews, which is a noun.
At 1 Corinthians 13:5 it is the verb form.
I think making it noun makes it a part of faith which faith is under the authority of God.
Making it a verb as at 1 Cor makes it a person's choice.
Part and choice are different.
