Dear Flyman, can we stop this nonsense? You have to see that what you are proposing is ridiculous. Do you not? The context of the Scripture in the original post is God first and then everything else. I would not dare stand before our God and try to explain why I had forsaken my wife and family when He has given me the responsibility to care for them. Would you? (1Peter 3:7 / Ephesians 6:4) He's giving us the command to love Him first then love others. How is forsaking others loving them? God does not contradict Himself. If your theory, and that is simply what it is flyman, a theory, has Scripture contradicting Scripture, then your theory is wrong. It is not that difficult to see, should you desire to actually see. To answer your questions concerning my family: I love them dearly, would give my life for theirs, but they are second to God. They know that. I've told them that and I've taught them to do the same. God first. Your theory has God only and that my friend was never commanded by God. Matthew 22:36-40: 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." How do I do it you ask? By the grace of God. He actually does it, so don't give me any of His glory. Let go of your stubbornness and see how God desires you to live through a true evaluation of His Word. He demands that He is first in your life flyman, but Jesus didn't suffer and die to save Himself. He did that for us. You have to see the value He places on us in doing that. Do you really think he wants us to abandon everyone else? If you do, then please explain why you think He sent us a Savior to begin with. Then explain why even His angels minister to us. Why are we to forsake each other and everything when God Himself won't do it to us? Hebrews 13:5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Stand in His grace, WOS |
