Let us reason...
Dave in Tenn:
I'd agree that 'favors' have no effect on people before they are caused to repent, but I wouldn't go so far as to say Love has no effect. Love has the greatest effect. Love is at the root of judgement. Love is at the very least a large part of what makes judgement work. It's also the main result of judgement. Root, stem, and fruit. Spent some time with a toddler and a six-year-old yesterday, something I don't get to do often. No doubt they needed 'correction' from time to time. Witholding 'favors' is a form of that. But not witholding love.
I think we are being 'grown' to express a maturing love that will one day be as perfect as His. Until then, the 'commandment' is judgement on and for us.
Sorry for the hippy-dippy sermon. :) But I stand by it.
Gina:
I have corrected my post. You are absolutely right, Dave.

"Good AND evil" were both in THE SAME FRUIT!!
Good and evil are not two fruits.
To become AS God is, IS to know good and evil. Gen 3 : 22 God can lay down His life and take it up again.
Good AND evil, co-exist as one fruit.
False appearances to the contrary, can be deceiving! ~ :)

It's true! God is not "A" person. God is a thing. A family. I guess once we're resurrected we're no longer human. I hadn't really thought about that till now. Another thread maybe, but if it is human to judge and God is not human, what then do we do with 1 Corinthians 6:1-3?
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
And what happens at the resurrection to judgment? Is God not planning on being there in the Day of the Lord?
