1 | ....one another! | John 13:34 | EdB | 128117 | ||
Tim I think we also have to look at Ephesians 4:11-12 The reason God gave Pastors and Teachers was to equip the saints for the work of Lord. What work? Making disciples Matthew 28:19,20 and being Christ's witnesses Acts 1:8 Too many forget in all the talk of grace that we have been charged to take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the world. We have called to be salt and light. We have been called to be witnesses and disciple makers and God set Pastors and teachers before us to equip us for that task. That is another major reason for church to equip that saints. EdB |

2 | Who do you love that you are unwill...? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128175 | ||
Good verses, EdB... more of the same! The reason we ought to "equip" one another is because we ought to love one another. Who do you love that you are unwilling to "equip," and who do you "equip" that you are unwilling to love? Once again, we see Romans 13:8-10 in action! "Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." |

3 | Who do you love that you are unwill...? | John 13:34 | EdB | 128197 | ||
Everyone knows love is an emotion, an attitude a motivator. However without action love is meaningless. A husband or wife can tell their spouse they love them, but until they put action to the love it is nothing more than lip service. While love may motivate us we still have to get up and do something about it. This is same junk John Lennon learned and picked up from his guru. And you seem to want to parrot John Lennon's humanistic message he conveyed by song "All you need is Love." It was falsehood then and it is a falsehood now. God does demand love but He also demands faith, obedience, service, action. In love EdB |

4 | You are saying that our command to...? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128203 | ||
EdB... thank you for the reply! You wrote: "This is same junk John Lennon learned and picked up from his guru." The only verse in question is Romans 13:8-10. You are saying that our command to love is "junk." Perhaps what you mean to reply with is 1 John 3:18 "Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth." According to your train of thought ("love is an emotion, an attitude a motivator"), what wicked deed will a man who loves his neighbor just as Christ loves each of us be motivated to perpetrate? You wrote: "God does demand love but He also demands faith, obedience, service, action." I ask you to please provide scripture supporting this thought. Additionally, I challenge you to demonstrate an act of faith/obedience/service/action that a CHRISTIAN would perform that IS NOT motivated by love. Finally, if you feel as you do, disprove this statement from the above verses [Romans 13:8-10]: "Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law," and demonstrate the evil a loving person will perpetrate upon another whom he loves. I can find no such verse qualifying faith/obedience/service/action in the same capacity. |

5 | You are saying that our command to...? | John 13:34 | CDBJ | 128208 | ||
Well I will say one thing for you; you sure know how to twist around what some one says!!! You are stepping over the line with your last post! Edb said that the things John Lennon learned were junk and you try to make it sound like he said that the Lord’s command to love is junk. That’s going a little far don’t you think? CDBJ |

6 | You are saying that our command to...? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128209 | ||
The respondant failed to quantify what he was evaluating as "junk," other than his implication that our command to love one another is equivalant to the "junk" that John Lennon got from his guru. The passage in question is Romans 13:8-10, and the concept portrayed in that passage is what the Respondant refers to. | ||||||
7 | You are saying that our command to...? | John 13:34 | CDBJ | 128211 | ||
Is that "your" idea of a loving response; if so, I dare not respond to any of your future post for fear of your loving reprisals! 1 Cor. 13:4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Have a great day, CDBJ |
