Bible Note: Hi EdB. Thanks for writing back. Okay, listen, I am NOT trying to be difficult, but I'm still not understanding clearly what you're saying. So if you're okay with this, I'd like to ask a few more questions to more clearly grasp what you're saying. I'm certain that it is my failing, not yours, so please bear with me. 1. Are you saying love is an emotion? 2. Are you saying that love is NOT an action? 3. Are you saying love is a command that motivates a secondary command? 4. Are you saying that love is not enough to fulfill the law? 5. Are you saying that because John Lennon preached "love is all you need," the same concept can only be proper as a humanist concept and has no application to the Christian lifestyle AFTER believing in Christ?? Again, I am not trying to trap you into anything as you believe another is attempting to do. I am genuinely trying to get a better understanding of your position. Thanks in advance for your patience and willingness to help. All my best, Xerxes |
