Basically I'm wondering if it's sinful. This isn't in reference to something sexual, this is preemptive.
Basically by 'physical affection' I mean something like 'hugging Jesus, cuddling him' etc. I'm not trying to make something sacred and holy into something bad or anything like that.
If there is nothing wrong with it, where in the Bible does it show examples of this between God and people?
Sounds good to me...
When I hug others in Christ I often picture Christ hugging me or me hugging Christ.
I know of someone who was very intimate with Christ.
His name is John and he use to lay His
head on the Saviors chest while John and all his fellow
disciples would hang out with Jesus.
John refers to himself throughout his gospel account as the disciple whom
Jesus loved. Not that Jesus only loved John but that John really got
the whole love of God for him revelation as expressed in Jesus Christ...
Out of all the disciples only John survived the attempts on his life
by those who were killing the disciples of Christ.
Tradition says that they tried to boil John in a vat of oil and
they could not.
I often wonder if John trusted so much in his loving savior that
God was free to deliver him even out of a vat of boiling oil.
What is faith?
With faith all things are possible...right?
Isn't faith nothing more than complete trust in Christ based on His love for us?
I want to be like John and lay my head on my saviors chest
and know His love for me and to love Him back without shame.
I can...in my heart I can picture myself in the arms of Jesus with
my head on his chest....
Read 1st John and you will see exactly what John realized about His
Lord and savior Jesus Christ and the power of love that comes from the Father
through the Son, Jesus the lover of our souls.
