Bible Question: Can someone give me some examples of how Jesus would use his love for poeple today in this world, or what he would tell us, and could someone explain it in a way a person can understand with out trying to try and read into the bible if you don't understand? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Jay... The only way to begin to answer that question would be to look at everything that Christ taught about love, and everything the apostles taught about love. The real question is rooted there. Equipped with that knowledge one might be able to speculate how Jesus would "use his love." Of course, that would only be speculative. Furthermore, remember there are loving things that we are commanded to do that Jesus would not do. Someone will probably try to give you a simple, trite answer -- we have people who specialize in that here -- but it really is not a simple question. It will require a lot of digging. In Him, Doc PS Someone will probably say something about 1 Corinthians 13... but that is a chapter that shows our utter inability to show true love. It is part of the answer, but only a small part. PSS In your study of the word, you might want to avail yourself of my notes in the thread of post 156916. That will help you avoid "reading into" the text what isn't there, and to know when others are doing so. |
