1 | Do YOU belive in the Bible? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Reformer Joe | 39074 | ||
I think where you are wrong in your thinking is here: "Isn't LOVE a feeling?" Biblically speaking, I would say, "No." Love is an attitude of the spirit that results in self-sacrifice for the well-being of another. Anger is a feeling which comes and goes. So is happiness and sadness and fright. Love is a conscious decision that one makes. Look at 1 Corinthians 13. It is hard to come away from that chapter with the idea that love is merely an emotion. In other words, love is not a reaction, something that happens to us or that we fall into. Love is something that we DO. As far as the different interpretations of Scripture are concerned, people do indeed interpret the Bible differently; however, that is not to say that all interpretations are correct. Nor is it to say that I have made the correct interpretation in every jot and tittle of God's revelation. It is completely false to think that one can make the Bible mean whatever one wants it to mean, which is the logical conclusion one comes to if every interpretation is as valid as any other. --Joe! |

I don't disagree with you about Love other than that I think Love is a feeling, emotion, attitude, a way of life. I also wouldn't call it merely and emotion for Love is the most important feeling one could have. Just as Hatred is the worst. I also agree that we can't make the Bible mean what we want it to. Becuase there are areas that can legitimitely be interepreted more than one way, even though we humans may like to argue back and forth about what is right, they do not necessarily play a role in the grand scheme of what the Bible says. The important things in the bible are very clear. IE: Believe in Jesus Christ and repent your sins. Love God and Neighboor. Forgive your brother. So how did this whole thing get started anyways? Oh well, have a good day. |

Hello jg8ball Be careful of saying that hatred is the worst. You will find in the Bible that God hates. Psalm 5:5, Isaiah 1:14, and Revelation 2:6 are examples. Steve |

Sorry, you are correct. Hatred of that which is against God is ok. (although we are still told to love our enemies - Hate the sin but love the sinner) I was refering to hatred in an evil sense. |
