121 | 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. | ||||||
122 | You are saying that our command to...? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128210 | ||
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. |

123 | Will you please offer an answer? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128304 | ||
Very well, if I am mistaken, I sincerely appologize. Since I am most certainly confused, may I ask as to what you refer to as "junk" from John Lennon's guru? Additionally, I posed several questions in previous posts which you have not answered. Will you please offer an answer? Thank you. |

124 | Perhaps this will help? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128305 | ||
My question is awkward. Perhaps this will help: Do these offices serve a purpose that is a direct result of our desire to love one another, or do these offices serve some other purpose that cannot be quantified with the passage in Romans? |

125 | Do you agree that if this is the case? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128307 | ||
Steve, thank you for the Reply! I appreciate you quoting these scriptures that I requested! I am excedingly glad to see how much of a role Love plays in each of the scriptures regarding "faith/obedience/service/action!" You wrote: "Paul gave quite a list of those things that could be done without the motivation of love: 1 Cor 13:1-3 (ESV) If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels...if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains...if I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned..." Paul concludes this thought by saying someone who has all these things but does not have love has "nothing." Do you agree that someone who has "nothing" does not have Christ? Do you agree that if this is the case, these passages, by neccesity, do not refer to a Christian? I look forward to your reply! |

126 | Is this an adequate interpretation of..? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128309 | ||
EdB, thank you for the various replies. I believe you confuse love with lies when you qualify your position with statements such as: "First what I said was love is an emotion, a motivator, an attitude. Love in itself does nothing. If a man says he loves a women and does nothing, nothing is exactly what he will have." "I can love my neighbor to death but if he was in the water drowning and unless I was willing to risk all and reach out my hand to save him my love would be nothing." "We see it all the time in marriages two people love each other, but they also happen to love themselves more and the marriage dissolves." If I am claiming to love, and I behave in these methods you have described, I do not love at all, and I am a liar. Is this an adequate interpretation of what you wish to express? If I behave as prescribed in 1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth," will I avoid the wickedness you described earlier? Consider the words in John 2:21 "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." EdB, if this is not the case, please tell me what wickedness will be wrought by someone who loves "in deed and in truth." I look forward to your reply. |

127 | Can you please provide them again? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128310 | ||
EdB, you wrote: "If you do not know where God demands faith, service, action and obedience then I think this discussion is has ran it course. I gave you each in verse quotes in this thread." I appologize, I must have missed these verses. Can you please provide them again? |
||||||
128 | Does this all help you? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128314 | ||
EdB, thank you for all the scripture you quoted. If I have asked you to post it elswehere, please refer me in those threads to this post, or just repost what you have written here. Additionally, I appologize if I have lead you to believe that faith is unnecesary. I assume those who I converse with here on this forum (in particular, in this case, YOU) to have faith, as this is the rock upon which we all must stand. I will certainly concede that faith is the first stone of building, and without it, we have nothing. I must conclude by stating that my discussions of love are precluded by the notion that they are directed at individuals that have and understand faith. I appologize for not stipulating this. Again, my discussion is not geared toward the unbeliever (without faith), but to the believer (with faith). I hope this helps clear the air. You wrote: "Further more I never said or implied that someone motivated by love would perpetuate an act of malice or evil against his neighbor so why suggest that I did?" No, but you did state or otherwise imply that we CAN love and NOT display our love by "deeds" or works. I tell you plainly that anyone who behaves this way DOES NOT love, and is a liar. If I TRULY love, I will most certainly perform the works of a loving person. Does this help clarify the matter? You wrote: "Yes 1 John 3:18 "Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth." does say exactly what I mean. And I’m also sure you have known that for some time. Which makes me ask, why act like you didn’t know what I was saying?W hy the accusations? Why challenges? Why do you always try to stir the pot? What is your agenda?" I refer you to the previous answere, as describing true love verses someone who just lies about their love. Additionaly, I reply in the manner I reply because of your use of the word "junk," and your comparison of (my interpretations?) to John Lennon's guru. What you write there is really just a method of avoiding using profanity to describe what I wrote, while making all the same implications. It is nomenclature that is directly beligerant, and expressed vehemently, and I wish to reply to it in a sound fashion that will bring us both to truth. Which brings me to another question; You wrote: "Why do you always try to stir the pot? What is your agenda?" My agenda is to edify, and I really wish you hadn't accused me of "stirring the pot." I will point out that my response to your first post was one of approval, quoted here: "Good verses, EdB... more of the same!" I appologize if you took this as a slight. To conclude, You wrote: "While no one is denying that Love is essential if you notice it’s placement, first we must believe then we should allow love to motivate our actions, service, obedience, maintaining our faith. That is why saying all we need is love is patently false we first must have salvation through Jesus Christ. And once we have salvation if we don’t put action to our love we have nothing more than a word." I now understand thouroughly the confusion we share in this discussion, and I gladly point out that my exhortations to love are to the FAITHFUL Christians, and not directed towards the unfaithful, who obviously need faith! Does this all help you? Let's continue this conversation and really come to such agreement as we are commanded through love! I look forward to your reply! |

129 | Who do you love that you are unwill...? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128315 | ||
I truly and sincerely hope that noone believes I am holding a grudge here. I believe we should unceasingly exhort one another to love! | ||||||
130 | MUST the training come from the offices? | John 13:34 | Stultis the Fool | 128332 | ||
Thank you for the reply, Morant61! You wrote: "I would say that love should be the compeling force in every ministry." I must agree! You wrote: "However, Eph. 4 makes it clear that the purpose of these ministries is to bring the body of Christ to maturity. Individuals need training and instruction to grow in Christ." I must agree! You wrote: "Individuals need training and instruction to grow in Christ." I ask if that training MUST, for CHRISTIANS, come from the offices you have reffered to? Please consider 1 John 2:27 "As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him." I look forward to your response! |

133 | Do people disbelieve? | John 17:22 | Stultis the Fool | 126664 | ||
I am not entirely understanding the dilemma... God is Jesus. Do people on this forum disbelieve this thing? | ||||||

I'm sorry, you missunderstand. I wasn't asking if this response was an accusation against me, I was wondering if this was a response to the post I made. | ||||||
139 | What was the purpose of Levitical Laws? | Rom 13:9 | Stultis the Fool | 128202 | ||
When you write "Levitical Law," do you refer to the book of Levi, the ordanances of the Levitical Priests, or the Law of Moses (ie the Torah/1st 5 books of the bible), or some other thing? | ||||||
140 | I need some help. | 1 Cor 6:16 | Stultis the Fool | 126622 | ||
I am thoroughly confused. I would like to know what others understand the meaning of Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 6:16 to be. To avoid any problems, I will not reply to any posts to this thread; I just wish to gain some definative understanding of this scripture. Please, I would just like to hear as many opinions regarding what this scripture means. | ||||||
