When the US government pays for medical care, sends troops in for death in battle, and provides social supports for disadvantaged people, is that "grace?"I disagree. It's demonstrated everywhere both in word and in deed.
Matthew 20:28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Matthew 11:5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Remember, none of the Scripture you so confidently quoted spoke of actual Grace.
True... but what does that have to do with what we are talking about?BTW, Jesus did come to be ministered unto. He had "No place to lay his head," meaning He had to be given accommodations.
This statement is disjointed. Is this called teaching?Read Luke 8 where He was ministered to by wimmin. Learn to recognize facts and contradictions before you presume to teach.
It is so good for you to come to me with these type of comments and arguments.It depends on what you understand grace to be. Maybe you and I have two different definitions.

If what you say is true, then what follows?1 John 2:3, "Hereby do we know that we know him [Christ], if we keep His commandments."
No person today can keep the Commandments of Christ. The best they can come up with is meekly to state to follow His Commands they "try their best." But, Jesus never even used the word "try." He never said it. That is because either a person does follow His Commandments, or they do not follow them. There is no compromise.
From 1 John 2:3 conveniently cited above just in case someone does not quite feel like looking it up, as if now in 2017 it takes too much time and effort to do so, we clearly can see the only means by which an individual can know Jesus. However, that principle now becomes a problem. No person can obey all of Jesus' Commandments. We know this because no person can even recite from memory all of His Commandments.
Yes, some people try to say there are only two Commandments really given by Jesus, The First and The Second. But, in fact, no person can love all of their neighbors as they love themself. Or even any one of their neighbors. As well, no person can love other Christians as Jesus loves them, according to His New Command in John 13:34. Nobody can literally replicate Jesus' Love.
Since none of the statements above can be refuted, we can for certain now be certain nobody knows Jesus. Only a very few superficial things from Scripture can be known about Him. If you are still trying to disagree, then answer this question:
"What Do You Know Of Jesus Beyond What Is Disclosed In Scripture About Him?"
It is so good for you to come to me with these type of comments and arguments.
No, "it" does not depend on what "I" think Grace is. My view of grace does not direct the appearance and narrative of Grace in Scripture.
Do you understand that? Probably not. There are many, many tender hearts like yourself who think and speak as do emo/Millennials, where standard English word definitions are not a skill set.
I'm talking literally loving your neighbor as you love yourself. If that were your reality, you'd find yourself doing everything you could to insure their happiness and comfort... like you try to do for yourself. As stated previously... pay their mortgage and utilities, take care of their home and their lawn, make them breakfast, lunch and dinner, do their dishes. At the end of the day, once you had done for them and yourself, you'd have nothing left. And then you'd look to your left and realize you had ANOTHER neighbor.as an atheist you don't adhere to humanism?

Keep using circular reasoning for the rest of your life. It suits your level.
Yes, for some people that question might be a logical response to the OP. And, I do apreciate your inquiry. In reality, I have neither the authority of definitive knowledge nor the directive authority over your mind to impact your future.If what you say is true, then what follows?
I see you do not know where the Temple in Ezekiel's Prophecy is. Remember, Ezekiel literally measured its physical dimensions.i am the image of that I AM. a reflection of god and the Infinite I. where is the temple you will build for me? where is the place of my sabbath?
it rests with him who is contrite of spirit and trembles at the thought. can you help me?
12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
watch because you do not know at what hour I AM coming..................
"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.
Who then is the owner of the temple? you? him? them? I AM..........................
I say to you watch
Revelation 6:12
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red,
the outer lights faded away like a scroll being rolled up and the light dawned within. And love saw that it was good, the first day. creation.
1:21:23-end "When it comes to the matters of God and Love, I cannot tell the difference"
God is Love. Love is Divine. Love is the greatest mystery.
I and the Father are ONE and on that day
John 14:20
On that day you will realize that I am my Father, and you are me, and I am you.
Yes, I agree you do call it that. You are free to call it whatever serves your emotional needs.Actually it's called critical thinking.
"Revealing all things to me out of His Word."I know Jesus by His Holy Resurrected Spirit Come into my flesh Temple Body, where He now dwells for Eternity, revealing all things to me out of His Word, overcoming my temptations, and showing me How He Loves all people, and giving me to Feel and Share His Love of others... a pure Heavenly Agape Love causing me to pray for men's repentance and turn of hearts. Loving one another... This is His Commandment, and it is not grevious nor difficult.
1Jn_2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn_5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
(1Jn 3:22) And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
(1Jn 3:23) And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
(1Jn 3:24) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
I see you do not know where the Temple in Ezekiel's Prophecy is. Remember, Ezekiel literally measured its physical dimensions.
Lol. Keep having fun with your trip through spiritual La-La Land if that is the best you desire.
We can know it is not possible for any Christian to "Love their neighbor as themself" because they are never observed doing so.
Do you love all of your neighbors as yourself? Do you pay their rent, mortgage, utilities, insurance, transportation costs, clothing costs, food bill, entertainment costs, travel costs, retirement funding, furniture needs, grooming expenses, pet maintenance, home maintenance, any legal fees, medical costs?
Yes, I agree you do call it that. You are free to call it whatever serves your emotional needs.
I am Pretty sure they weren't navigating nature by book. Soooooo, if they werent navigating nature by any book I would recommend trying that. I know unsettling and certainly not modern.
