The spirit of love in us is the same as the spirit of Love called God
1 John 4:12
1 John 4:16
That's not the only sin.the lack of love is sin
the lack of love is all sin.That's not the only sin.
I'm not sure exactly what that means. IMO, pride is the root of all sin.the lack of love is all sin.
because love covers all sin
proverbs 10:12
the lack of unconditional love results in sin. look at revelation. only the church of philadelphia is not reproved. god is not a respecter of persons because this is the ideal of unconditional love. you cannot have a rule for self and a different for another, or a different rule for this person vs another rule for another person. this is hypocrisy.I'm not sure exactly what that means. IMO, pride is the root of all sin.
Pride is based on excessive self-love. We sin because we love ourselves more than God, so in that sense it's about lack of love.
Because there are times when it is NOT clear what the Bible means, and it HAS to be interpreted. God provided for this in Deuteronomy 17:8-13, when He gave the levites and judges the authority to interpret such difficult cases. If God thought human interpretation is necessary, why would we say otherwise?
…Are you saying that if they disagree with the Bible that they're not authoritative?
… Excellent point. The fact that a document can be interpreted is evidence that its not clearly written.
In the Bible's case, its full of contradictions, errors, mythology and edits. It's a wonder anyone can make heads or tails of it.
How in the world are you getting Pangæa out of this?
Predicting disaster for religious transgression is prophetic? Please... what religion, myth or færie tale doesn't do this?
so the spirit of god in us is love?
All cases regard a person. So what? The judges STILL have to provide an interpretation of the law in order to rule on certain difficult cases.Sorry, I don't think that is the same matter. Deuteronomy 17:8-13 is speaking of judging someone. And in that case, it must be looked, what is the situation (evidence for the crime...) and what is the correct solution in that specific situation. I don't think it changes in any way what Bible tells.
Any evidentiary support for this?the lack of love is sin
So soldiers in battle will go to Hell if they're killed not loving the enemy?the lack of love is all sin.

How about the worldwide flood, the exodus from Egypt, or the creation myths?I don’t think you can show even one that is truly a contradiction or error in the Bible. If you believe you can, please show one, the worst for the Bible.
No, it said land and sea were separated. Land and sea are seperate now, but there's no single continent.It tells there was one area of dry land and one ocean.
You don't know your own is correct, you're imposing beliefs and interpretations on vague or ambiguous passages. People of many faiths do the same thing, and claim accuracy. People claim Nostradamus was prophetic, and it's not even a religious text. People swore by the Oracle at Delphi List of oracular statements from Delphi - WikipediaI don’t know any other that is also correct.
war is hell.So soldiers in battle will go to Hell if they're killed not loving the enemy?
How about the worldwide flood, the exodus from Egypt, or the creation myths?

I never said it changes the Law. I said it makes it possible to KEEP the law.
Do you even understand how case law works?If it doesn’t change what is written, then I think it is not really an interpretation of the law. For example, the law says, “don’t murder”. Is there something for judges to interpret in that, please tell what exactly? Or if you have some other part of the law that needs to be interpreted, please show one example?
Eg: There was no worldwide flood or mass exodus from Egypt.Why do you think that is authoritative?No, it explains authoritativeness, and how to work it.
Can you give one point what you mean as an example?
That doesn't even make semantic sense. "Land" is a generic term for non-water terrain. You're not even nitpicking, here.If there would have been many areas of dry land, why would Bible say “God called the dry land Earth” and not “God called the dry lands Earth”?
Eg: There was no worldwide flood or mass exodus from Egypt....
How do you NOT know this???How can we know that?
