Bible Note: Xerxes I'll play 1. Are you saying love is an emotion? Yes 2. Are you saying that love is NOT an action? I'm saying love without action is nothing more than a word. 3. Are you saying love is a command that motivates a secondary command? Yes, Love prevents us from killing, bearing false witness, coveting, having other Gods, making graven images, taking the Lord's name in vain, committing adultery and from stealing. It causes us to honor our parents and remeber the Sabbath which Jesus fulfilled. 4. Are you saying that love is not enough to fulfill the law? I'm saying if we love and allow it to dicate our actions then the law will be fulfilled. 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?? No I'm saying when you say all you need is love and do not mention all the other attributes joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; along with faith, belief in Christ, obedience and holiness you are talking as John Lennon did.
