Bible Question:
EdB... thank you for the reply! 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. |
Bible Answer: Well I will say one thing for you; you sure know how to twist around what some one says!!! You are stepping over the line with your last post! Edb said that the things John Lennon learned were junk and you try to make it sound like he said that the Lord’s command to love is junk. That’s going a little far don’t you think? CDBJ |
