Bible Note: Ancient Sorry to have missed so much I was in church.:-) First and foremost I never said it was ridiculous to suggest that love meets all of God's criteria. It doesn't it is the motivator or vehicle by which God's criteria is met but it in itself does not meet it. Please don't say things I never said. You then said, “This last statement you are making: If you read his comments and dwell on the points he is making you will see it is not orthodox Christianity but rather humanism," demonstrates my problem with orthodox Christianity. The message Jesus came to teach is love, and no other. Where orthodox Christianity disagrees with that, orthodoxy is defying scripture, and it is wrong. And that is that.” Jesus taught on a lot more than love. He called for us to be holy, He talked about our sinful nature and how we must crucify the flesh, take up our cross and follow him. Jesus talked about hypocrisy, self centeredness and unforgiveness. But mostly Jesus warned that there would be false teachers that would try to make His message something other that what it was. Personally I think Emmaus hit the nail on the head this is not a debate over Bible interpretation but rather a conflict where you reject the authority of any kind EdB |
