Love is the answer?

YellowStone:
I have been giving this a lot of thought of late, and perhaps now is a good time to share.

The greatest commandments ever given were given by Christ himself, and they were both about love. Love is not complicated, nor is it prideful. Love is joyous, happy and carring; it is not prideful nor spiteful. Peter instructed us on how to greet one another:

      1Pe 5:14
* Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Kind of say's it all doesn't it? :) I can never get passed "keep it simple silly" whenever I see the word kiss. Pride must be the enemy of love, though I cannot find a scripture to support that claim. Am I wrong in stating that the Scriptures a full of simple truths. Gosh, the simplest truth I ever learned came from Ray when he said: Jesus is Jehovah of the OT.

Knock me down and pick me back up. Of course!!!!  I had read pages and books and listened to endless sermons teaching me how Jesus was the son of Jehovah; but, not once was it as simple as this one truth. I know I am getting side tracked here; I want to say that I really feel part of something special in this forum. I have learned so much from so many of you and both my wife and son has seen the change in me.

My prayer is that this forum continues and is filled with love for the truth and for one another. It is my belief that first comes love and then comes understanding. For without love what use is anything. Let's come together and learn, guiding one another with love. Airy-Fairy? Who cares!  :)

      Eph 3:19
* And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Any body with me on this? I would love to know.

With Love,
YellowStone

Hello, Bobby and yellowstone.

I couldnt agree more with your posts, Although we are a cautious people, we have been lied to most of our lives, while i agree there is much yet for us to discover together, I know that we should "try the spirits" So that the things said  on this forum be tuthful.

Sometimes answers to questions can be confused as attacks, this is not so. we must also entreat with sound doctrine...this is what EXPOSES those that contradict.

Thankyou both for sharing

Absolutely, Yellowstone.  I agree wholeheartedly.  The plan of God bringing about many sons and daughters through being created in His image is all about love.  God is love.  Noone can argue with that.  But, don't take my word on it.




(Luk 6:26)  Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers did according to these things to the false prophets.

(Luk 6:27)  But I say to you, Those hearing: Love the ones hostile to you, do good to those hating you,

(Luk 6:28)  bless those cursing you and pray for those insulting you.

(Luk 6:29)  To those striking you on the cheek, turn the other also. And from those taking your garment, do not keep back the tunic also.

(Luk 6:30)  And to everyone asking you, give. And do not ask back from those taking your things.

(Luk 6:31)  And according as you desire that men should do to you, you also do the same to them.

(Luk 6:32)  And if you love those who love you, what thanks is there to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

(Luk 6:33)  And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks is there to you? For even the sinners do the same.

(Luk 6:34)  And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks is there to you? For the sinners lend to sinners so that they may receive the equal things.

(Luk 6:35)  But love the ones hostile to you, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be much; and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind to the unthankful and evil ones.

(Luk 6:36)  Therefore, be merciful, even as your Father also is merciful.

(Luk 6:37)  Judge not, and in no way be judged. Do not condemn, and in no way you will be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

(Luk 6:38)  Give, and good measure will be given to you, pressed down and shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For the same measure which you measure, it will be measured back to you.



These words speak volumes of the character of the God we worship in Spirit and truth.  When that love is in us, this is what we will do towards others.  Not earthly carnal minded love, but the heavenly love that came down, and gave of Himself unselflessly, but to do the will of the Father.  To search for the will of the Father, to follow Christ, with His Spirit is love.

God bless,

Gary
