1 | dreaming someone is running naked | Bible general Archive 1 | Giam | 46897 | ||
Hi Kimberly, Great question! If the dreamer hates being naked, or poor, or homeless, then the dream is to get the dreamer to love being naked and poor and homeless just as the dreamer loves being clothed and rich and unhomeless! If the dreamer loves being both, it is just a dream that confirms that the dreamer's love is perfect when it comes to the Love for being clothed and unclothed, poor and rich and in a home or homeless! 2 corinthians 12:9-10. Revelation 3 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Luke-warm in what? Matthew 24 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Rev 3 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Ecclesiastes 5 3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. 7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. And how are we to fear God? In Love of him or in hate of him? 1 John 4 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. So we are to fear God in Love of him. Dreams come because God designed our brains to work by words and their opposites, and all words work by the master word Love. Matthew 22:36-40, 7:12, 12:34-37. All words and their opposites are interdefinable. That is, for example, to give is to take from yourself, and to take is to give to yourself. and Love keeps them re-bound, by re-minding us to love each word and its opposite, and so helps us to re-member to love, which is why Love is the true spirit of re-ligion!! So we can't ever give without taking or receiving. See? So if u ever only loved giving and hated receiving, you wd be disrupting how your brain is proceesing those words: as opposite sides of the same coin! see? So can u guess what wd happen in that situation? Right, u wd have a dream about someone taking every thing from u! or someone robbing u or etc! see? That is the brain's way, as God-designed, to jog you: shd u not love yourself as a giver and as a taker since to give is to... and to receive is to...! see? But unless u are told waht is happening and why, u are then apt to wake up even more determined to only give because u now hate thieves! Then? Then u'd get another dream about waht u hate! See? So think back: were not all your night mares about things u hated? Uh huh? So guess waht? All nightmares are dreams about what or who u hate! And all good dreams are about what and who u love! right? So if u want all sweet dreams, God commands us to lvoe all words! See? Matthew 22:36-40. 5:43-48. And to lvoe all all words, u have to love u as all words and their opposites! It is that simple! Then as u love yourself as all words and their opposites, all your sleep wd be sweet and u wd have sweet dreams like this: Proverbs 3 24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Ok. feel better? Hope so. Love and respect, Giam |

2 | is this promise an everlasting promise | Gen 12:7 | Giam | 46341 | ||
Jmodanie! great q! Here is the best explanation! God'd greatest gift to us is Love. God commands us to love each other by loving ourselves as each other! Matthew 22:36-40, Leviticus 19:17-18, 34. God's second greatest gift is life: for we are supposed to live life in Love! Deut. 30:19-20. And Love is waht makes life worth living! Life without Love is not worth living! So? So my love for u, my wanting to share my Love with u is the ONLY reason WHY I wd want to share LAND or anything else with u! See? So because God wants us to understand the importance of that love, guess waht he did? He promised the land to BOTH parties: To the children of Israel, Genesis 12:7 and to the children of Esau!! wherever they get their claim! Aha! See? Why? To get us to share the land! When our parents gave me and my brother one loaf of bread, cd we both eat it? We had to SHARE it! So it is the same thing wityh anyting else! And with land: when God promises us the same thing, it is clear that He wants us to share it! See? But to share the land or anything, what must we first share? Correct: Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? Because if we hate each other, that Hatred means that since we we don't want to share the most important thing, since we WILL NOT, we WON'T share the greatest gift, LOVE, then we won't share anything else! With hate for each other by hating ourslevesa s the other, we prefer to DIE than to share! See? Is that what is happening in the Middle East? Correct! Now u know why! Sigh Now here is an example of what will happen when we love ourselves in the same way God loves us: Look who'll be first with God with HIS equal Love for all! Isaiah 19 23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 24 In that day shall Israel be THE THIRD with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. That is the long answer! The short answer is: God keeps all of his promises IN LOVE for all to whom he promises anything and in Love to whom he promises the same thing or something else! Romans 3:1-4 Hope this helps! Love and Respect, Giam |

7 | Does God love his adversaries? matt.7:12 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46506 | ||
Thanks Steve! So since God loves sinners, John 3:16, Romans 5:5-8, sinners who are who do iniquity, God must mean this: "You hate the sin of hating who u love in all who do the iniquity of hating who u love. " NASB Psalms 5:4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in the wickedness of the sin of hating anyone; In fact U take no pleasure in the death of the wicked because U lvoe the wicked: ezekiel 18:23-32. only those who hate the wocked take pleasure in the death of the wicked! No evil of the sin of hating any one or anything dwells with You. 5:5 The boastful in hate of the humble shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate the sin of hating anyone in all who do iniquity while at the same time U love the iniquiters/sinners. 5:6 You destroy with Love those who speak falsehood in hate of the truthful; The LORD abhors in Love of horrors the man who sheds the blood of them whom he hates with the deceit of hate. "These 3 negatively phrased descriptions in Love follow 3 directly stated affirmations in Love. This reveals God's perfect and supreme standard of the Justice of Love for both the just and the unjust both in principle and in practice" (p. 746, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). Ps 7:11 KJV "God judgeth the righteous with Love, and God is angry in Love with the wicked every day." Gos is always angry in love for the people with whom he is angry, and so He sins not, for to be angry in hate with anyone wd be to sin! matthew 5:21-22 and Ephesians 4:26 God Loves us and so is only angry with us for cause and so that anger in Love is shortlived! God loves us and so is always pleasant with us for no cause! Only those hwo hate others are angry without any cause: I am not angry with u: I just don't like u! Those who hate others have longlived anger with others for cause, and the root of the bitternees of hate takes root again! Rom 5:1 ASV " Being therefore justified by faith in Love, faith which works by love, Galatians 5:6 we have peace in Love with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;" The sinner may think he is not at war with God, but God is most certainly at war in Love with the sinner, Love being the true basis of peace. Peace in hate or with hate is coldwar or uneasy peace! Proverbs 16 4 The LORD hath made ALL THINGS for himself: yea, EVEN THEB WICKED for the day of evil. 5 Every one that is proud in heart IN AHTE OF THE LOWLY is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. 7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies in Hate to be at peace with him IN LOVE. And how do we please God? Hebrews 11 6 But without faith... which works by Love, Galatians 5:6, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is ...Love and in Love, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him in love. And how r we to seek him? Jeremiah 29 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart/Love. See? "*peace in Love with God.* Not only a subjective, internal sense of calm and serenity, but also an external, objective reality. God has declared Himself to be at war IN LOVE with every human being because of man's sinful rebellion IN HATE against Him and His law OF LOVE (Rom 5:10; compare Rom 1:18; 8:7; Ex 22:24; Deut 32:21,22; Ps 7:11, John 3:36; Eph 5:6)" (p. 1700, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). Hope that helps when put in Love! Looking fwd to your feedback! l and r, giam |

8 | 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 |

9 | Does God love his adversaries? matt.7:12 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46641 | ||
Hank! Thank u for reminding me to slow down! sigh I am so sorry! I don't ahve alot of time but I so enjoy writing on the bible that i get carried away! Yes, my native language is English, the Queen's no less, Scottish no less! smile And u are right and said it well: i do write in a cryptogrammic shorthand that makes it hard to decipher or decode! The crypt or code is Love, and the short-hand is in Love! So the context of all my posts is only and always Love for all words and their opposites! And that means that each word is atomic: each word is loaded with Love and so with everything else! So let me rewrite it by beaking it down and by splitting the atoms of my words in the long hand of Love! smile Notice how many more words i ahve to use! "You God hate the Sin of hating anyone or any thing who U God love, which is a sin because, since U love all persons and all things, THE first sin is to hate anyone and anything, and this sin of hate for anyone and for anything IS obviously in all who do the iniquity/sin of hating any person U God love or hating any thing U God love!" "The LORD is horrified out of Love at the man who, with the sin of Hate for those whom he kills, which sin of hate God hates, sheds the blood of them whom he hates while deceitfully pretending to love them." Hope that helps. Now this will help u too: Because God obeys His own Supreme Law, The Law of Love, God MUST do everything in Love, with ONE exception! So God wrote every word in the Bible in Love, in the code of love, if u please! John 10 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture CANNOT BE BROKEN; Therefore to me, the Bible is God's Code Book, written in the Code of Love, in God's secret code of Love! See? So without reading it in Love for all the words, the Bible's code cannot be broken, and the Bible won't and so cannot be understood because it can only be understood, decoded by Love, translated in Love, not by Hate! see? So all the words in the Bible can only be understood as to WHAT they mean when we also OBEY that first Supreme law and then read The Bible in Love! Aha! So when we understand that Love is God's supreme Law is when we can undertand that when, for instance, God abhors, He is horring, or is horrified ab:out of Love for the word horror! Whereas because we normally, as mistaught, hate the word horror, when we read God abhors, we imediately translate that in our minds to mean God HATES what or who he is horrified at! See? So believing in hate, the actual first sin, as if it were right and not a sin to hate horrors, we swallow the camel and so must THINK and strain at the gnat that whoever or whatever God is horrified at MUST be the sin! See? One more example: Hank, have u ever wondered why God rejected Cain's sacrifice and accepted Abel's? Ah! Can u now figure it out? I am sure U can! If u want to try, do not read the rest until u do and then u can compare! Ok? If not, read on! Cain was a farmer and so loved farm produce, fruits, veggies, etc, but he HATED bloosdhed which he wd have to do if he kept sheep! So it was his attitude of mind that was wrong: the attitude of Love or Hate is waht is the FIRST thing in the mind! That sin of Hate for shepherds and for the shedding of blood is waht lay at the door of Cain's mind BEFORE he even offered his sacrifice! See? And there was NOTHING wrong with his Firstfruits! See? Now hank, u know a little more about why and how I write ... like I do! And thanks to u, others will understand me better! And most important: I love myself as a carper and as indelicate and at sea, and so I genuinely love and respect u as an indelicate carper at sea as myself! smile See? Love works! smile Looking fwd to your feedback, delicate or carping or at sea, and as all their opposites, is all ok!! smile Loving and Respecting me as confusing and as misunderstood, and so loving and respecting all who are confused and misunderstand, I remain, Giam |

10 | Does love or hate sinners? matt 5:43-48 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46677 | ||
Steve! Thanks for your answer! Good try! smile Based on this: Yes, God loves sinners, as shown by these two verses. John 3:16 (ESV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Romans 5:8 (ESV) but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. then when God says He hates evil deeds and those who reject His love, He must mean this: Proverbs 6:16-19 (ESV) There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: [17] haughty eyes in hate of the humble, whereas God is proud in love of the humble. Matthew 3:17 a lying tongue in hate of the truth, whereas God speaks the truth in love of liars. Ephesians 4:15-16. and hands that shed innocent blood in hate of the guilty, whereas God sheds innocent blood in Love of the guilty.Romans 5:5-8. [18] a heart that devises wicked plans in hate of the wicked, whereas God devises wicked plans in Love of the wicked,I saiah 28:9-13. feet that make haste to run to evil in hate of the evil, whereas God makes haste to run to evil in Love of the evil people! Deut 32:39. Isaiah 45:7-8. Romans 12:19.Rev. 2:5. [19] a false witness who breathes out lies in hate of the accused, whereas God breathes out the truth in Love of liars. Ephesians 4:15. and one who sows discord among brothers in hate of His brothers, whereas God sows discord among brothers in love of the brothers. genesis 11:6-9. And so he must mean that He hates the sin of hate in those who reject Him! For He rejects them with Love while rejecting with hate their sin of hate! Which is just like Luke 14:26: Wne God uses the word hate for anyone and for anything except for sin when it maeans the sin of hating anyone or anything, He always means: To love less by comaprison in Love! The greek word is miseo! In malachi 1:2, the wrod is sane which means the same as miseo as used in Romans 9:13! John 3:36 (ESV) Whoever believes in the Son who is God who is Love and so believes in Eternal Agape-Love has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son who is God who is Love, and so does not have Love shall not see life, but the wrath of God in Love remains on him. Correct! Love and Respect, giam |

11 | Do u know what this means? Matthew 12:7 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46682 | ||
Steve! So we are agreed in Love! I do wholeheartedly agree with that only if we agree with Scripture that the Holy Spirit is the one who teaches us (John 16:13-14). John 6:45 Story done! And hey, do u see how u say in a few words all that I say in so many more words! smile Love u, Giam |

12 | 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 |
||||||
13 | Do u know what this means? Matthew 12:7 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46690 | ||
Kalos! Thanks for your interest in helping me! First of all, I love harsh people because i love myself as harsh! That Love for me as harsh means that whenenver i am harsh I am harsh in love! The love smoothes the edges of my harshness! And so when u think i am harsh, even when I am not, I wd in Love accept your appraisal because i understand that I cd look so! So if the sound in your your tone was harsh, it is being taken in Love by me! Now if the tone wa harsh to u, the only problem wd be if u hated being harsh! For then the tone of any words that may sound harsh to u wd be harsh in hate instead of harsh in Love! See? Now: I normally in Love do NOT write: Thsi verse means to me! I normally write in Love what it means! But I did that because I in Love did not want to come over as authoritative or setting myself up as if my meaning was the only meaning! See? But if u want me to speak with authority, let me accommodtae u in love! This verse means: Flippancy is dealing with Scripture in hate of all the other meanings except the one u think it means! (Kalos: The tone of the following may sound a bit harsh but it is all in Love like how God is forward or rude in Love with those who are rude in Hate of being rude and so end up in hate whenever they are rude! Psalms 18:25-26. I have no wish to hurt you with hate or to be harsh with you in hate. But if I hurt, I hurt with love: for Love has in itself and so wd supply the healing for any hurt! I merely quote someone else in Love. My desire for you is that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul of Love prospers. giam) t b continued: Grace in Love to you, Kalos, giam |

14 | Do u know what this means? Matthew 12:7 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46691 | ||
kalos1 Here we go with the rest! "Avoid superficial interpretation which is interpretation with lots of hate and with with little superficial Love that only scapes the surface and just below the surface as in surfing. Smile The one common problem in interpreting the Bible is this little phrase, "This verse means to me....." Let me tell you something in Love for what u believe. It does matter what it means to you as long as u also love what it does NOT mean to you, and so the question would always be to you what would it mean if you didn't love as God loves? What would it mean if you didn't love as God loves: Loves his friends the angels and loves His enemies the demons? For the demons believe that God exists and tremble because they hate who they believe in! What does it mean in Love period is the issue, not what does it mean in hate to you. "Sometimes you'll hear people get together and supposedly have a Bible study which is little more than a pooling of ignorance because it is in Love of wisdom coupled with Hate for being ignorant! Only people who love being wise and love being ignorant wiil eliminate their real ignorance: their ignorant attitude: and so admit their ignorance and so get the riches of the wisdom of God that is hidden in Love! Coloss 2:1-3. People say, "Well, I look at this verse and I feel this verse is saying this in hate of what I think it doesn't say!" It doesn't matter what you feel, what matters is your first feeling: your attitude: is Godly Love or Satanic Hate? That Love or Hate has everything to do with it. It's not a matter of how you feel about the verse, it only matters if your attitude is right! It's not a matter of what you think it means to you, it only matters if your first thot, your attitude is correct! Avoid the Adlibbing of using any mis-Hate in Bible interpretation. Avoid the free wheeling attitude of Hate in Bible interpretation. Avoid the Haphazard of Hate for any words of The Word in handling of God's Word. "We all want to acknowledge the priesthood of the believer... yes, we all want to acknowledge that we have anointing from God, the Spirit of The Love of God who dwells within us and the Spirit of the Love of God who dwells within us is the teacher who teaches us. We all want to acknowledge that. So we with Love understand that the lack of that Love which results in the presence of Hate is justification for flippancy dealing in hate with Scripture! So we remember that such were some of us, and so we who are spiritual in Love try to bear the infirmities of the weak and try to restore such ones with the spirit of Love, considering ourselves lest we are also tempted! galatians 6:1 That's why in 1 Timothy 5:17 it says, "The elders who labor hard with the Word of Love in the words of the Scripture are like Hiumpty-Dumpty, working words double with double-ease and so are worthy of double honor." It is hard work made easy with Love.Mattew 11:28-30. So avoid the superficiality of Hate in interpretation. Avoid "this means to me in hate of any other meanings." The hate in that phrase is not a statement that should preface any interpretation of Scripture. The question is, what does it mean if you don't exist with Love for the non-existent? What did it mean in Love before you were born? And what will mean in Love it after you're dead? What does it mean in Love to people who will never meet you? What does it mean in Love period, is the issue." (John MacArthur at www.gty.org/Broadcast/transcripts/90-157.htm) Looking fwd to hearing from u! Loving u as right, Loving me as wrong, giam |

15 | Does God love his adversaries? matt.7:12 | Ex 23:22 | Giam | 46713 | ||
Kalos, Thank u! And becuase it is true that God is Love, Love is God's first or greatest attribute, for Love is the Word God obeys, and is waht re-confers Holiness on God since he first confered Holiness, Himself, on it by saying that HE IS Love! So since God is love and Love is the God that God worships, see His Supreme law which he obeys: matthew 22:36-40, Love takes precedence over everything else, and is his Holiness as decreed by he Himself! I am sure u know: 1 john 4:8, 16 and 1 corinthians 13:13: The greratest of these is Love! Right? Love and respect, giam |

17 | Lust in marriage?/ definition of lust | Deut 14:26 | Giam | 46875 | ||
tlh54! Great question! Short and quick answer; Lust is the desire for anything u love atached to your hatred for its opposite which u DON'T desire! The most generalised definition of Lust is: To desire anything or anyone out of HATE for the opposite thing or opposite one! It works with all words and their opposites! To desire the kingdom of God in hatred for today's world is to lust after God's K! Amos 5:18-21 Here are other examples: To desire your wife out of Love for not having sex means u are NOT lusting for her since there is no sin of hate over-pushing the pull of your desire for her! U ever played basketball? There is a foul called the push-off foul! Same thing! To desire your wife in hate of not having sex is lust! The lust is in the hatred! Better put, the sin in the lust is in the hatred for NOT getting what u want! To desire money that u love out of HATE for being poor is to lust for the money! 1 tim 6:10 The sin is NEVER in the Love but in the thing u hate! See the trick? To desire to be full out of Love for being empty means there is no lust involved because there is no hatred for the opposite of what u want! see? So loving and so wanting in Love money and sex and food and anything is ok! So the sin is in hating what u don't want! So: Lust is simply desire in Love of one thing out of Hate for the opposite thing! Now here is how balanced u wd be if u loved yourself as every word and its opposite as in loving yourself as your own best friend and as your own worse enemy as in Matthew 5:43-48: Philippians 4 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. So the only type of desire appropriate in marriage is the same desire appropriate in all life: All desire in marriage is appropriate when that desire is in Love for what opposite u don't want! So too: all non-desire in life is ok as long as it is NOT in hate for what opposite is NOT desired! So true enough we have: Hebrews 13:1-4, ESPECIALLY VERSE 4, which in Love means: Let brotherly Love continue IN LOVE OF NON-FAMILY AND IN LVOE OF STRANGERS. Levit 19:18, 34. SO Be not forgetful to entertain strangers IN LVOE OF FAMILY: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds IN LOVE FOR THEM WHO ARE FREE, AND SO as bound IN LOVE with them; and them which suffer adversity IN LOVE OF THOSE WHO ARE IN PROSPERITY, AND SO as being IN LOVE yourselves also in the body. SO Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled AS LONG AS ALL u want IS IN LOVE FOR WHAT U DON'T WANT! but whoremongers WHO FIRST PROSTITUTE/SELL THEIR LOVE FOR BEING SOMETHING OR FOR HAVING SOMETHING and so end up also selling the next best thing: their bodies, and adulterers WHO first spiritually ADULTERATE THEIR LOVE WITH HATE and so end up committting physical adultery, God will judge IN LOVE OF THOSE HE JUDGES AND IN LVOE OF THOSE WHOM HE DOES not JUDGE. ah, it is so good to me to say that! and I hope profitable to you and all who read it! By the same principle of Love and of the sin of hatred, Lust/covetousness is also idolatry, idolatry being what we allow to get us to disobey God by hating it rather than loving it as God commands, an idol being wahtever stops us from obeying God! So Idolatry, by hating what God wants us to love, leads directly to Lust which is to want anything out of Hate for its opposite, which opposite becomes the idol because i hate it! The perfect circle! Here it is as is: Colossians 3 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: Hope that helps!

18 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Job 1:22 | Giam | 46114 | ||
Dear Baptistbred, U are absolutely right in your inferences! Up to Job 2:10 and the end of Chapter 2, Job did NOT sin with his lips. But he soon ran out of his little oil of the Holy Spirit of Love, and so with the sin of hate in his heart began to sin with his lips from Job 3:1! Notice how it is says: After this, Job 3 1 After this opened Job the lips of his mouth, and with his lips cursed his day. To curse the day he was born was to curse God who gave him his day of birth! And to sin by cursing, Job HAD to be hating his day! And so hating God by hating himself! Matthew 12:34-37: Out of the abundance of the Love or Hate in the heart the mouth speaks. So true enough by verse 25, he realises that the very thing he hates and so fears in Hate has come upon him! 1 John 4:18 But it is not until Job 42, that Job realises that it was because of his attitude of hate that what he hated came upon him, and that it was GOD who had sent what he hated un him! And why did God send it? To get him to start loving who and what God loves! Ezekiel 23 28 For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated: 29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. Then with repentance of the sin of hate for being wrong AFTER Job 42:6, God blesses him double for being doubly right: for now Job is not only right in what he does, he does right IN the right attitude of Love for those who are wrong! Please see Matthew 5:43-48 and Luke 18:9. Hope this helps. Love and Respect, Giam |

19 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Matt 2:16 | Giam | 46156 | ||
Songbirdca, Here is how u can figure it out: Christ was born in a manger in Bethlehem: Luke 2:7, 12. He was then circimcised at 8 days of age: Luke 2:21. Mary then went from the Stable in Bethlehem to the Temple in Jerusalem after 32 days later: Luke 2:22, Leviticus 12:3-4: to present Jesus to God. And then they went back HOME to Nazareth. Luke 2:39. Then the wise men arrived and found Jesus IN THE HOUSE. MATTHEW 2:1,11. But how long after Chrsit got home to Nazareth did the wise men arrive? The only guide as to that time is that Herod, having enquired diligently of the wise men as to when they first saw the star, Matthew 2:7,16, told the wise men to go find 'the young child,' paidion, not babe, brephos as in Luke 2:12,16, 1:41, and he then killed every child under TWO years of age, when the wise men wisely did not go back to tell him where Christ was! Matthew 2:16. Hope that helps. Love and Respect, Giam |

Songbird! Ur point is well taken! Naz. is way up north! But this still makes sense: God's whole point is to be vague so that all points of view are reasonable! Proverbs 25:2-3. It IS hard to beleive that Joseph and Mary wd go back up to Naz, and then flee all the way back pass Jerusalem and beth! altho they CD have done so along the sea coast! But Luke 2:39 and matthew 2:11: pais in the house: are there. Or it CD be that all of Matthew 2 occurred between the words 'Lord' and 'they' in Luke 2:39!!!! which wd mean that Joseph, Mary and the young Pais went straight from wherever in the house was to Egypt and then returned to nazareth!!! Any view that is reasonable is just that: we still can't be totally sure! I personally go for what i said before in Love and in respect of all other views! In which case they fled to Egypt even tho in Naz because God knew that Herod wd send his homicide-killers way up there to kill this new king that threatened his rule! See waht i mean? Love and Respect, Giam |
