Subject: Is the Formula for sin to hate anything? |
Bible Note: Sorry Steve! I do see your point, based on Rev 22:18-19, why anyone cd think so! No disrespect meant, but since it is disrespect to u, I will stop in Love and in Respect! Once again, it was done to save time and space! So rather than having to write/paste the verse then write what i think the verse means in Love, I cd just do it in one! But in love and in respect of myself as disrespectful, I accept yout categorization of me as disrespectful even when I KNOW I was not, and so will comply in Love and Respect! smile No problem! Like that? Love does work! As to the word 'as,': it means both of the meanings u thot of, and more: 3.as much as, 4.all the time as 5.as if u were, 6.as the same name as, 7.as every word as. 8. as is. Plus more i am sure! Believe it or not, they all are equal in meaning as to Love: So for God to love man as Himself is for God to love man as is man were God, is to love man in the same way God loves Himself, is to love man as much as God lvoes Himself, is to lvoe man as if God were man, is to love man all the time as or while God loves Himself, is to love man as the name God is to love man as all the names and words God lvoes Himself as, is to love Man as is! See? All the above each prove one thing: That man is another name for God! And that God is another name for Man! John 10:34-35 and Psalms 82:6 and Genesis 1:26. 'As' is the most important 2 letter word in all the Bible! and its use is so elegant: It can mean at least 10 other meanings, and so enables God and us to be concise and yet say it all in one word! The only 'bad' thing about that is that all the truth then lies hidden IN the words! Which is also 'good' since God wanted to hide the truth in Love! Proverbs 25:2.. so we cd dig it out! And of course having dug it out, i love to spread it out like butter! which may offend others, present company excepted of course!, who are not there yet! smile Of course when we love 'as' as all other words, not only does 'as' mean all words but also all other words mean 'as'! The principle is in Love itself: When we love all words, Love means all words and all words mean Love! Then that overall general principle applies to each word: So when I love Steve as all words, Steve means all words to me and all words mean Steve to me! Which Love is why someone has said to u: Steve, u mean everything to me! meaning Steve, all words mean u to me! Of course that cd only be actully true all the way if the person who said so DID love all words! And see how circular it is! That's because Love is the Circle of God and so of all words and so of all life! Looking fwd to hearing from u in Love and in Respect! smile giam |
