4 | Do u know what this means? Matthew 12:7 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46612 | ||
Steve, U are so right! But u left out THE few important words like these: We know what the Bible MEANS by what it SAYS to us when we read it in Love as in Love it was written! Not so? What about Matthew 5: 29-30? 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.: Do we know what those words of Christ in the Bible MEANS by what He SAYS? Really? See what i mean? Hey, that IS even a good one! Can u even tell what I mean by what I say with further elaboration? smile Can I tell what U mean by waht u say without further elaboration? See waht i mean? For instance, I love correction and love being corrected and so want to be corrected because I lvoe being correct! But the only person who needs correction is the person who is wrong! So i have to love myself as wrong in order to want correction and so admit when i am wrong and so get right ..being already right in Love! So notice how obeying God's Law of Love as to my attitude is the first basic and fundamental right that empowers and enables me to admit my wrong and become right! Right? smile Now do u know anyone, other than yourself of course, smile who loves correction and so loves being corrected? People who hate correction hate being wrong and so hate being corrected and so deny they are wrong and so stay in the state of denial and so remain wrong in the wrong attitude! Right? smile Proverbs 12 1 Whoso LOVETH instruction/CORRECTION loveth knowledge: but he that HATETH REPROOF is brutish. Look waht God said to a person who THOUGHT he knew what God MEANT when he read the written words of the statutes and the Covenant that God SAID in the Bible without reading them with the spirit of Love, Love being the first law, the Supreme Law of Love, for us to obey and so love all words BEFORE we read anything else: Psalm 50 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou shouldest take My covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou HATEST instruction/CORRECTION, and casteth My words behind thee. 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. HOW? 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. HOW? IS NOT SLANDER TO SPEAK THE THE TRUTH ABOUT SOMEONE WITH HATE FOR THE ONE SLANDERED? Isn't hatred the spirit of slander? 21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou THOUGHTEST that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will REPROVE thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation ARIGHT will I shew the salvation of God. See what I mean? I am sure if u do not, Steve, u will, like me, ask for further clarification with a see what i mean, giam?! smile Btw, Steve, hanks you for all your Love and all time in Love too! Loving u as known and as unknown, giam |

5 | Can i give u what i don't have in me? | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46684 | ||
Sorry Kalos! I'll take u at your word! smile So let me ask u: Do u love your enemies as the Bible says in Matthew 5:43-48? Do u love your enemies, the wicked spirits in high places, as well as the good angels in high places? Ephesians 6:10-12. Remember we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood! Can U say the words: I love myself as the enemy or opposite of the word 'just.'? ie I lvoe myself as unjust and I love my self as just? matthew 12:34-37. I am unjust: Do u love me as unjust? Can u love me as unjust while hating u as unjust? Can u give me love as being unjust if u don't have Love for yourself as unjust? Just checking! smile By the way: I love myself as God lvoes me: 1 John 4:19, John 15:9, as just and as unjust as all wordaa nd their opposites, so that i automatically love u as whatever u are: just, unjust, known, unknown, right and wrong, first and last, and as all words and their opposites! Is that not good? Looking fwd to hearing from u again, my friend! Loving u as my friend and as my enemy, giam |

6 | Did Jesus say: Serve two masters? | Matt 6:24 | Giam | 46423 | ||
Based on what Matthew 5:43-48 says: that we shd love our friends and love our enemies, and love the good and love the evil, and love the just and love the unjust, and shd NOT love our friends BUT HATE our enemies and shd NOT love the good BUT HATE the bad, amd shd NOT love the just BUT HATE the unjust, shd not matthew 6:24 also say something like: No man who loves his friends AND HATES his enemies can serve two masters: for either HE WILL HATE THE ONE, and LOVE THE OTHER; or else HE WILL HOLD IN LOVE TO THE ONE, and DESPISE THE OTHER. Ye in Love of any one word but in Hate for the opposite word cannot serve God and Mammon? And then wdn't that make sense with Luke 16:9 where it says: Make friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness, since we are to lvoe both God and Mammon as in 6:24? And then wdn't Matthew 22:21 also make perfect sense with 6:24 when it says: Then saith He unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; the other master and render unto God the things that are God's. The One Master? Please answer me to help me or show me where i am wrong or show me how I am right[smile] or just challenge or just confrim. Love and Respect, Giam |

8 | Does not All hang on Love? mt 22:36-40 | Matt 6:24 | Giam | 46447 | ||
Hi Tim! Thanks for your reply. I was hoping no one wd mis-mean what I meant when i wrote lvoe the good and the evil! I was trying to not take too much time and space! I meant Love the good poeple and the evil people! Matthew 5 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour AND hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. So Tim, do u not mean: 1) Mt. 5:43-48: We are told to love our enemies and SO LOVE OUR PERSECUTORS WHO ARE OUR ENEMIES, AND SO pray IN LOVE for those who persecute us. But, we are never told to love THE evil or THE injustice OF THE SIN OF HATING OUR ENEMIES? This passage simply deals with our attitude OF LOVE toward ALL others. We should LOVE ALL MEN, FRIEND AND FOE, AND SO pray IN LOVE for the best for all men, friend or foe? 2) Mt. 6:24: I'm not sure what you mean by 'should it say', but we do know what it does say LITERALLY. No one can serve two masters. 3) Mt. 22:21: The term 'master' is not used in this verse LITERALLY. BUT WAS NOT CAESAR THE CIVIL KING, AND GOD THE SPIRITUAL KING? What about a wife who serves two masters, her God and her husband? Surely a woman is supposed to lvoe her husband as she loves God and love God, and so obey him, her husband, in all things? ephesians 5:22-24 Or an employee who works for his/her physical boss/master and for God her/his spiritual master/boss? 1 timothy 6:1-2 and Titus 2:9-10 and Ephes 6:5-8. And does nor render come from rendre the french for to serve? See what i mean? I'm not sure exactly where you are going with this, but it appears that you are trying to argue that Mt. 6:24 says the opposite of what it actually says LITERALLY. So Tim, wd u please tell me which master I am supposed to hate or despise? And so if u cannot tell me who to hate or despise, which i don't think u will because u already correctly said we are to love friend and foe alike, is not Jesus omitting literally, but saying IN SPIRIT of Love, from No man can serve two masters the words No man in love of one master while hating the other master can properly serve ONE MUCH LESS two masters, just like He omitted the words IN LOVE from The truth shall set u free from John 8:32, but included them in Ephesians 4:15 and 16, to see if we were remembering what he was saying in matthew 5:43-48 and wd say in matthew 22:36-40, that we are to love one friendly master AND love the other master who was a foe, to use your terms? Does not the letter kill the other meanings, but the spirit make alive all the other meanings in the words in the whole Bible? 2 corinthians 3:6 See waht i mean? What do u still think? smile Looking fwd to your reply. L and R, giam |

Makarios, Thank u. U are blessed in name and in nature. smile So do u unify or separate the serpent as a representative of both Christ, John 3:14, and Satan, Revelation 12:9? In other words, do u love both Christ and his opposite Satan, and so love the serpent as a rep of each, or do u separate them by loving Christ and loving the snake that reps Him, while hating Satan and hating the snake that reps him?

Thanks Steve! So imho, God must have loved snakes and so used them to represent Christ, His Son and friend, John 3:14, whom He loves at all times as Himself, proverbs 17:17, and also used them to represent Satan, His enemy, whom he also loves at all times as Himself!

13 | Can i hate chickens and love JC? mt23:37 | John 3:14 | Giam | 46448 | ||
Hi Steve! U asked: Who said God used a snake to represent Satan? Revelation 12 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Who said God loves Satan? Based on the Golden Rule, matthew 7:12 when God tells us to love our adversaries/enemies, does He love His enemy? 1 John 2:9-11 speaks of loving and hating people. The original question concerned snakes. It had nothing to do with people. But principle is the same for all of everything, doesn't it? Can we hate lambs and love the Lamb of God? Can we hate lions without hating the Lion of the Tribe of Judah? Can we hate snakes and love the snake God held up for healing as a symbol of Christ in Numbers and in John 3:14? See what I mean? Now here is John 3 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: and Numbers 21 6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. And of course, Jesus in Love of snakes He Himself created called the Pharisees snakes among other things: Matthew 23 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Anf of course in Love of foxes he createdcalled Herod a fox: Luke 13 31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. and in love of dogs called the woman a dog: Matthew 15 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith WHICH WORKS BY LOVE GALATIANS 5:6 WHICH MEANS SHE LOVED DOGS TOO AND SO WAS NOT OFFENDED BY BEING CALLED WHAT SHE LOVED HERSELF AS!: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Sorry to be so longwinded, but so i am not genuinely misunderstood, smile, i wanted to be sure that u knew that I am being honest and sincere and genuine and noble in love of course for the dishonest and for the insincere and for the ingenuine and for the ignoble. smile l and r, giam |

14 | Is God really I am who or what I am? | John 3:14 | Giam | 46449 | ||
Thanks Makarios! I hear u! But can I be as wise/subtle as a serpent while hating them, and be as harmless as a dove while loving them? See waht I am saying? And what about this? Proverbs 30 18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: 19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. Am I really learning the core about going to ants if I hate them? See what I mean? And since to u, subtle means crafty, what about this? 2 Corinthians 12 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. Can I hate the serpent or Satan for being crafty while loving the apostle Paul for being crafty with guile? Wd I not tend to also hate Paula for being like the serpent and snake I hate? See? And when u say this: I do not believe that such a close comparison or analogy between Christ, love, and snakes is in any way accurate, how do u explain Romans 8:35-39 where Hate for any of the creation separates us from the Love of Christ? Romans 8 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, IN ALL these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, NOR ANY OTHER CREATION/CREATURE, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Can we really hate any creature God created and still totally love the Creator of what we hate? See? Looking fwd to your comments. All Love and Respect to u, Giam |

15 | Is the Formula for sin to hate anything? | John 3:14 | Giam | 46453 | ||
Steve! Thanks for your reply! So: If i were to call u name of an animal, wd u get offended? I wd bet u wd! But because I lvoe myself as all the words there are, nothing can offend me becaue i can't be offended by what words i lvoe me as! Steve, we can only be offended by what words we already sinfully hate ourselves as! Wd u call yourself the names Christ called them? Wd u be offended by any name He called u? Steve, if i hated me as poor and loved me as rich, and loved on ekind of pet out of hate for all others, I wd have set my mind on being rich and on that one pet because i wd be a love-hate double-minded person as described here: James 1 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. It is only the person who loves himself as God loves him, which is as HImself, 1 John 4:18, john 15:9 that then has the Love-pure or pure-Love mind of Titus 1:15 and who is therefore like these persons: Psalm 119 165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and NOTHING shall offend them. And of course wd recall this: Proverbs 12 10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. and this: Numbers 22 22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an Adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his Ass, and his two servants were with him. 23 And the Ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the Ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the Ass, to turn her into the way. 24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. 25 And when the Ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27 And when the Ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the Ass with a staff. 28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the Ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said unto the Ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30 And the Ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine Ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he said, Nay. 31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. 32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine Ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: 33 And the Ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless She had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. 34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.

16 | How to get perfect like God is perfect? | John 3:14 | Giam | 46598 | ||
Mommapbs! Thanks for your input and prayers in Christ's PERFECT Love! I second that attitude! smile It must be inspiring me by providing me with a perfect seg-way: Isn't God's Love perfect and whole because he loves both the just and the unjust, the perfect and the imperfect? Matthew 5:43-48 If he loved just the just and only the perfect, wd not His Love be half-perfect or partial or half-whole or imperfect or half-just? See what I mean? Therefore, is not God's Love made strong in weakness and perfect in imperfection and whole in unwholesomeness and healthy in sickness and rich in poverty and etc in its opposite-etc, so that when He is foolish, then He is wise, when He is weak, then He is strong, when He is etc, then He is the opposite-etc? smile Here are the scriptures: 2 Corinthians 12 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG. 1 Corinthians 1 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM OF GOD the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the FOOLISHNESS of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a STUMBLINGBLOCK, and unto the Greeks FOOLISHNESS; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD. 25 Because the FOOLISHNESS OF GOD is wiser than men; and THE WEAKNESS OF GOD is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen THE FOOLISH things/PEOPLE of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen THE WEAK things/PEOPLE of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And BASE/UNPEDIGREED things/PEOPLE of the world, and things/PEOPLE which/WHO ARE DESPISED, hath God chosen, yea, and things/PEOPLE which are NOTHING/NOBODIES, to bring to nought things that are: What do u think? smile In Perfect Love for u as right and as wrong! giam Love and respect, giam |

Tomn! Thanks for your request. Yes, I am seriously serious! smile And I love what u asked: ask it in a different way! Easy: here it is in other words but in the same attitude of Love. When God uses Satan as His minister as in 1 Corinthians 5 1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To DELIVER SUCH A ONE UNTO SATAN for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. or in Job 1 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, who does God's minister look like? And so, in the other original words, based on 2 Corinthians 11: 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works, we can expand the original question and ask: when Satan looks like an angel of light, who does an Angel of Light look like? 1John 1:5 and when the ministers of Satan look like the ministers of God, who do ministers of God look like? Love and Respect, little giam |
