Bible Question (short): Do you agree that if this is the case? |
Question (full): 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! |
