Love with out truth: kill or lies.

<< < (4/4)

Richard D:
This is a wonderful thread, very down to earth. When I had first read Ray’s work I was very excited because he was talking about things that went contrary to what I had believed in, but Ray brought me hope with the things he was conveying in his message.

As I read each scripture he used I could see the truth as plain as day and became comforted in these things realizing these great truths.

I wanted to tell relatives and friends and the whole world. I quickly realize most don’t want the truth. I no longer tell anyone these things I learned from Ray’s work because I find it futile.

I agree having deeper relationships with everyone in my life but not in a manor to see what they are about as I already know the heart is depraved but rather simply practicing love and forgiveness.

The only expectations I have with any human being is having no expectations as people will always let us down one way or the other. Where there is no law there is no sin and where there is no expectation there is no sorrow, hurt, or anger.

When we have expectations of anyone we set ourselves up to a variety of let downs. When I’m having a conversation with anyone nowadays I’m more apt to listen than speak. When people express pain in there life I try to feel empathy.

When someone does something for me I’m thankful and if against me I try being forgiving. It’s with people we have and experience of good and evil.   ;D


                                               In His Love. Richard.

This post is all about relationships in a manor to see what they are all about, since we tend to lie our selves often, it is about to find out who are really our beloved ones by trying to learn well to difference between how we agape and phileo love others (phileo from begging bound to others in all this truths). 
Practicing pure love and forgiveness is not that simple,, it takes a lot, it says that it must start by trying to do what He said which will give us to be living morally excellent, looking knowledge, having self control, endurance and living piety which will drag us to phileo our brothers and love agape everybody.
I know right now i could be talking too high from my mostly present condition, anyhow, i would like this to be my continually goal and life motivator rather than be rich and enjoy materialism as the majority around us believe.




I found this verse in other post - 2 Peter 1: 3-11.

3 As we know Jesus better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life. He has called us to receive his own glory and goodness! 4 And by that same mighty power, he has given us all of his rich and wonderful promises. He has promised that you will escape the decadence all around you caused by evil desires and that you will share in his divine nature.
5 So make every effort to apply the benefits of these promises to your life. Then your faith will produce a life of moral excellence. A life of moral excellence leads to knowing God better. 6 Knowing God leads to self-control [temperance]. Self-control leads to patient endurance [waiting], and patient endurance leads to godliness [piety]. 7 Godliness [piety] leads to brotherly love [ brotherly kindness – greek Philadelphia from philos], and finally you will grow to have genuine love for everyone [agape love]. 8 The more you grow like this, the more you will become productive and useful in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But those who fail to develop these virtues are blind or, at least, very shortsighted. They have already forgotten that God has cleansed them from their old life of sin.
10 So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Doing this, you will never stumble or fall away. 11 And God will open wide the gates of heaven for you to enter into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1: 3-11.

Even though I am often lonely, I am rather content and excited about life. In my weakness, Jesus can strengthen me and make me stand.
