Bible Question:
Good verses, EdB... more of the same! The reason we ought to "equip" one another is because we ought to love one another. Who do you love that you are unwilling to "equip," and who do you "equip" that you are unwilling to love? Once again, we see Romans 13:8-10 in action! "Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." |
Bible Answer: Everyone knows love is an emotion, an attitude a motivator. However without action love is meaningless. A husband or wife can tell their spouse they love them, but until they put action to the love it is nothing more than lip service. While love may motivate us we still have to get up and do something about it. This is same junk John Lennon learned and picked up from his guru. And you seem to want to parrot John Lennon's humanistic message he conveyed by song "All you need is Love." It was falsehood then and it is a falsehood now. God does demand love but He also demands faith, obedience, service, action. In love EdB |
