    What is your short story or one sentence, Why Do You love God?

    I think you might like this my friend. :sparklingheart: Love is heaven's kindly light, the Holy Spirit's eternal breath that vivifieth the human soul. Love is the cause of God's revelation unto man, the vital bond inherent, in accordance with the divine creation, in the realities of things...

    What is your short story or one sentence, Why Do You love God?

    Does anyone else like this scripture about love? :) A beautiful description of love states: “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. It does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep...

    A Christian becomes a nonbeliever

    Um....thanks for the reply...I guess? Seems a bit harsh and unnecessarily confrontational for a friendly discussion but perhaps that's just your style. I agree..."love" gets equivocated, misused , misapplied, misunderstood and whatever else you wish to throw in there but only in so much as we...

    If Jesus Died...

    I am certainly not scared when i talk about God. I don't belive that fear has something to do with God in any sence.Fear is the excuse we use not to act on the Word of God. Love on the other hand, 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is...

    Denial by non-Muslims of the Qur'an's commands to commit violence.

    Habakkuk is living in very difficult circumstances. God hasn't acted yet, and there is no sign that the fulfillment is just over the horizon. But he chooses to have joy because he knows God will act. This is an anticipative joy. You put your standard for enemies.. Matthew 5:43-45: "You have...

    The Best Guide

    The only "selfish distorted form of love" I can see is the "love" described in the Bible about the God of the Bible. I have no idea how anyone has convinced themselves that said God is a loving one.

    The Best Guide

    True, who would want to live in the dark ages, however, in these 'last days' people have a selfish distorted form of love as described at 2 Timothy 3:1-5,13 which is out of harmony with the definition of Christ-like love as defined at 1 Corinthians 13:4-6

    The Best Guide

    Sure, Jesus' NEW commandment found at John 13:34-35; John 15:12; 1 John 3:16 gives it a cohesive whole. Thus, fulfilling the 'Law of Christ' as found at Galatians 6:2; Ephesians 5:2 The Law, Christ's Law, is defined at 1 Corinthians 13:4-6,13

    What is Love?

    The Greeks I find had four (4) words for love: Eros (sexual love) Storge (love of family) Phila' (brotherly love) and agape' (principled love / love based on principles) Thus, the definition of Christ-like Love is the principled love defined at 1 Corinthians 13:4-6

    By Faith. Why?

    I suppose God comes into the picture by giving us the definition of Christ-like love as defined at 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Christians would believe what God says (in the Bible), endures all things as Jesus taught to endure (Matthew 24:13), bears all things for Jesus' sake, and hopes all thing...

    Your Christian Identity

    Yes, but in communicating with others, it's best to use words others understand.

    Your Christian Identity

    1 Corinthians 13:1 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."1 Corinthians 13:2 "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I...

    Why is this world out of control?

    Good point ^ above^ that you don't see people doing the solution (such as living by the Golden Rule - Leviticus 19:18) Prof. Alex Tyler said a democracy can't last much more than 200 years because once people (greedy) learn how to get money out of the treasury that causes economic collapse...

    Let's not talk about the Big Bang

    We learn it by being civilised, it's really not that hard to do. How do people who do not know anything about JC and the rule that people like to call golden go about surviving in this world? They are still civilised, they behave in a civilised way to each other, they don't need any golden...

    Let's not talk about the Big Bang

    Unless damaged, we all come equipped with an in-born conscience that can learn to do what is right. How do we learn some humanity but by the Golden Rule and Jesus' New Commandment found at John 13:34-35 To have the same self-sacrificing love for other people as Jesus has. In other words, to now...

    Without God(s), what is the point?!

    Nothing in that suggests that you can only love those who you physically help. In fact, the emboldened part supports my argument, that love is simply "love". No rules or requirements.

    Without God(s), what is the point?!

    The Bible repeatedly defines love by its actions. 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. The...

    Last Days (End Times?)

    Patience, kindness, gentleness are part of the tempering results, love, joy, and peace the products of being of a similar mind as communities, and all listed as fruits of the Spirit. Being true and remaining true to this helps the process of "healing" I would think. It gets difficult in...

    Last Days (End Times?)

    I find 'the form that 'Christ-like love' comes in' is described at 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 besides John 13:34-35. Yes, in this system the need to politically temper is unending. This need is a reason why we are all invited to pray to God asking for Jesus to come ! - Rev. 22:20 Come and bring...
