Well, lukewarm like righteousness89 thinks it's okay if you don't keep Gods commandments because God loves you and His grace Is sufficient He said it's okay not to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy Indeed 90percent of Christians don't really know what they are doing They can't think for themselves But always say whatever thier false pastors told them |

Yes. What humans call love is actually lust. If you think you love a woman, then you should be able to transfer that same feeling to a man, but it's not possible, because waht we call love is lust. The only true love is obedience. |

IJOBA2: Jesus Christ gave you about 46 commandments to obey, of which the 2 greatest of the 46 you probably already are aware of. |

SenecaTheYonger: We can love our ownselves, so we can love as God has callee us to. God commands that we love our neighbor as we love our ownselves. First, you need to figure out what it means ti love yourself. Then apply that to loving all men and women alile, exactly as you apply it to your self. |

Kobojunkie:STOP SAYING RUBBISH BRUH, CHRIST DID NOT CHANGE ANY LAW. EVEN THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF SAID THAT THE HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL HIS LAW FULLY COME TO PASS. SO YOU MEAN THAT A MERE MORTAL JUST LIKE YOU AND I CAN CHANGE THE WORD OF GOD |
Re: If you love GOD, keep HIS Commandments (john 14:15) by Kobojunkie: 10:10am On Jun 14, 2020 |
IJOBA2: Christ did not change the law.. instead He is a new law, the New Covenant, that is to make you perfect. That New Covenant comes with a light yoke ( about 46 commandments) and a burden that is easy( your cross/Life). It also comes complete with blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, an entry requirement (about 7 commands) and a seal(The Spirit of God Himself). I did not change a single thing of His truth. Simply telling you what you are obviously not aware that Christ is, the New Covenant that was promised -- a complete agreement for each person to choose. |

IJOBA2:Why is that connected to you being a monotheist? Why did Christ curse the tree? Because He could! According to John 1, He , Jesus is the life even in the tree. |

Stephenmoka4: There are two aspects of love. In greek, they are distinguished as the "agape" and the "philo" (I'm leaving out "eros" ). "Agape" is simply love that is principled on utter selflessness/ sacrifice of one's will and devotion only to the will of God and needs(not selfish wants) of another.(1Cor13). "Philo" on the other hand is based on pleasure and the enjoyment/joy of satisfaction derived in another, the object of love. If you're a believer, you should have experienced at least a minute measure of God's pleasurable love(philo) which convinces us of His goodness. But after that, the thing is, God wants every believer to experience this pleasure to the fullest, having fullness of joy and satisfaction within(1Pet1:8 ). In this "philo" love all desires for sin are expunged and all your desire is renewed for God and His beauty as you find nothing created compares to. Jesus Christ remains the pattern for how we can enter into fullness of pleasure love. He lived on earth on the principle of selfless love(agape) until His death and after which He entered into fullness of His Father's joy and pleasure. And He gave His disciples the secret, capping it up here: Joh 14:21-23 KJV 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (here, after the agape love is fulfilled by the man, the pleasurable enjoyment comes through the manifestation of Father and Son to the man) So also we can here on earth experience God's pleasure love of satisfaction if we live selflessly devoted to the will of God. NB: God is love regardless of what we do. But those who will experience the fullness of joyous love at will are those who follow the principle of selfless love. Others will settle for mercy droplets and providence. Some scripturally unlearned folks may tell you we don't have to work for God's love providing scriptures out of context. But we are not working, agape love is expressing the divine nature in us i.e. God is working through us and the more we sow this as a seed the more we can yield the fruit of "philo" love/fullness of joy. |

Kobojunkie: My post was trying to define what the word "love" is, as it has been misinterpreted by humans since the beginning of time. |

Have you ever read something in the Bible that seems a little
weird? I have, and I did. In this case, it had to do with the
kings. It struck me as I was reading along in Deuteronomy 17
that God was giving instructions for kings. That was strange
since they had no king. God was their king, and He spoke to
them through his chosen prophets and leaders. But God knew
that the day would come when the people would demand a
human king. He knew that they would not be happy until they
were like all the other nations who had kings. So around
chapter 17 of Deuteronomy, God laid down some specific
commandments for these future kings through Moses. |

True love is not conditional.

Finallydead:Selflessly devoting , I will be honest with you that part is not an easy one. I do get jealous seeing religious people practicing it and get motivated to doing it, once they are out sight - well my materialistic self comes back . One sided love is a no no for me, I always like it 50-50 or balance. I know the love of God is bigger than anything great emotion of man, which can never be a 50-50, you can't tell me God loves me and I will be still sinning, any idea how that feels. I can be annoying and sometimes stirring up trouble, I know it's wrong but, I think it's fun a the moment but, I regret later ( I have a sensitive conscience) What I am trying to say is, the thought of agape love is just beyond my concept of love, I don't understand why someone (God) will love anyone (me example) without seeing flaws, forgiving a continuous sinner (fall, repent, fall, repent again) |
Re: If you love GOD, keep HIS Commandments (john 14:15) by Finallydead: 11:21am On Jun 14, 2020 |
Stephenmoka4:Read my modified post. You can only live out agape when the agape nature of God is in you. You cannot give what you don't have. Whoever does not have agape inside of Him yet is yet to receive God into Him.(Rom5:5, 1Jn4:7,8,12,13,16). 1 Like |

Stephenmoka4: The only way you can truly love God is to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour and accept that he died on the cross just to set you free from the claws of eternal damnation. That my friend is how you can truly love God. |
Re: If you love GOD, keep HIS Commandments (john 14:15) by Stephenmoka4(m): 12:56pm On Jun 14, 2020 |
Noel19:I do accept those, I am not getting this love bond or feeling thing, it's not just there. Someone told me that the love is not the attraction type or chemical type, which I find it difficult to understand how then will the love be expressed in a non physical or psychological way. |
