Subject: Is the Father's heart humbe? |
Bible Note: Estelle: Nothing I say here should be construed as argumentative. I am merely addressing the questions you asked me. You write:"If I follow your reasoning correctly, couldn't one also say that God isn't love since the passages quoted seemingly describe the exact opposite?" You also ask: "I noticed you did not respond to my point about God being love, though. What are your thoughts of my example? I always figured God and Jesus to be the same Being, not two separate Beings in and of Themselves." My answers: One cannot say that God isn't love. The reason: the Scriptures plainly say that God *is* love (1 John 4:8,16). Also consider this: When God is being wrathful toward sin, he is being just. The fact that God is just does not mean he isn't love. Is there a conflict between justice and love? We need to see love as God sees it and remember that love is more than mere warm, affectionate "feelings" toward someone. Also, God has other attributes besides love, attributes such as holiness and justice. Properly understood, all of God's attributes are in harmony with each other and with God's nature. I did not say the Son and the Father are two "beings". What I said is the Son and the Father are two "persons". I'm no theologian -- not by any means. I am just stating my understanding of what the Bible says on the subject and I am doing so as clearly as I can. Grace to you, kalos |
