Subject: Does not All hang on Love? mt 22:36-40 |
Bible Note: Hi Meusing, Thank u for your input. Agape Love includes Eros Love: so all Eros is agape, but not all Agape is Eros! Just like all new yorkers are american, but not all americans are new yorkers, see? And u r right: God defines what Love is! And so guess waht? Because God IS everything, and He commands Himself to agape-love everything He is, Matthew 22:36-40, guess what Love is? Everything! Just like God is! Now u know why and how God IS Love and so the Word Love is God! Just like U are Meusing and Meusing IS you! smile Love is the Word, the Dabar, that God obeys! So God defines Love, and so wahtever God is, Love is! So since God is everything and God is Love, Love is everything! Just like in math: i am sure u r good in Math: if a is b and b is c, a is c! So one guess as to what Word was in the begiining with God? The Word Love, of course! That is why and how: John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God. Yes, Jesus Christ is also The Word, John 1:12, and that is also why and how He is also God and is also Love! Whoa! So JC is everything too just like God and love are! see? Sorry about that exwife who died as a result of the misjudgment of that unjust judge in Canada! That judge is unjust because he only loved the just but hated the unjust, only loved the victimiser but hated the victim, and only loved relasing people but hated locking people up. So that judge was NOT acting on Agape Love nor on the Justice of Agape Love: he was acting on the unjust attitude of Hatred, which is why his action was a miscarriage of justice! Any judge without equal Agape Love for both the victimiser and the possible intended victim is an unjust judge. And justice without equal Agape Love for the victim and the victimiser is a miscarriage of justice. To judge righteous judgment, John 7:24, we have to agape-love the just and the unjust, the victim and the victimiser, and the locking up and the setting free of people. Then in that equal and inpartial Agape-Love, in that Justice of Love, which is why Lady Justice is painted blind, that judge in Canada wd have loved the potential murderer in jail and wd still have kept him locked up in Love! In the equal Agape-Love, he wd have known WHEN, the proper TIMING of when to release and when to keep locked up! Eccles. 3:1-8. Time and timing is an automatic function of Pure and Applied Agape-Love, just as Time is a function in Pure and Applied Math! See? Math being just another aspect of Agape-Love, and having nothing to do directly with Eros-Love! See? And in loving himself as unjust, he wd have been able to bear/stand looking unjust even when he was just! Love bears all things! 1 Corinthians 13:7-8. And he wd have realised that with Agape-Love we don't need to have justice SEEM to have been done: we just need to have it DONE in Agape-Love! Yes! Ok? See what I am saying? Hang in there, Meusing! looking fwd to hearing from u! Loving and Respecting u with Agape-Love and Agape- Respect, Giam |
