Love's Goal

All that love is, God is, for God is love. As the negative side of love is unselfish - seeks not her own - so her positive side is concern for others, a deep, ardent, all consuming concern: dauntless, self-sacrificing, invincible. “Love never fails.” Such is the divine essence and this it is that is imparted to the creature.

There can be no self-complacency with God, neither could He provide a self-satisfied salvation. Divine joy is in the fullness of love, and love is all-embracing. To speak of a happy shepherd with an incomplete flock, or even of a happy flock with comrades missing, would be to malign both sheep and shepherd.

Heaven’s joys will be full only when sin’s sorrow cease. “Tis of mine” will be the yearning cry of the Good Shepherd spirit in the bosom of both saint and Saviour until the last of all the lost has been gathered home. Love cannot omit; His soul travail was for all. Neither can love abandon or forget. His purpose, as His promise, is “until He find it”. Thus it is that He is yet to “see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied.” And surely we too shall be satisfied when conformed to this likeness. Oh, the fullness of heaven’s joy when sin’s sorrows shall have ceased! -D. Buchanan-

99 is NOT enough!

"For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” -Romans 5:19

Many = πολύς/ polys

Many “made sinners”>>>>>many “made righteous”.

The Equation of all equations!

Orthodoxy always wins in the end.

There were actual Arian Bishops in The Church in centuries past but Orthodoxy prevailed like it always does.
.
You might just want to consider this Jude, it just may have been "for such a time as this" that God actually led you here to this thread. :idea:

And He did not do so for you to come here and win, as much as He led you here just that you might realize a greater truth, than you have been taught to believe, exists. This post of yours is a prime example of that. It is a 'one liner' statement of proof that you have nothing left but a mind committed to 'a religion about God' more so than 'the heart of GOD'. And your empty claim above for this Goliath religion proves as weak as the Goliath of the OT was when he too met a smaller foe. But it was a foe with the authority of God that took him down. That you are seeking God is good, but your zeal is simply misspent on 'a system' when you should be pursuing the heart of the creator of ALL.

I hope we've helped reveal that heart in your time here, and I hope you can pursue his heart, either here with questions or later when humbleness before Him overcomes the senselessness of this 'one line' post. As I read this post of yours Jude I only see you proving your willingness to keep standing and saying I've won, when everyone looking at the ring can easily see whose face has been "boxing as one beating the air."

Dear Sage: There is a word in Greek that expresses the great
need.

auxanō=

To grow/ To increase.

To grow & become greater.

To increase.

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Expansion= the quality or state of being expanded.

So Saint Steven, Have you been careful? Have you believed the lie? I tell you truly today, that nothing unclean will enter in. Nothing that has not been washed by The Blood of The Lamb. As in the days of Noah, so it is today. When the door is shut, there will be many gather out side. Let us be as the wise servants spending our time gathering, so that perhaps the many will be less. This doctrine is but one of the countless ungodly doctrines made to look beautiful. Now who would do such a thing and has he done it once before.

You come here to condemn, while you give full support to the Romish doctrine of countless billions of souls, who have never so much as heard the name of Jesus, are burning forever with no hope of escape and perhaps no idea why they are even there.
Is that the plan you support? Have you been careful, or have you believed a lie?

Dear GTW: Fear not! The way into the Tree of Life is by way of angelic beings with swords of fire swirling in every direction. Nothing, but nothing enters the Father's Realm without change and transformation!

Welcome to the God of Pur.

"It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him. And you..."

God is the ta panta, Source, Guide, & Goal of the all.

Dear brother: DRob, like most fundamentalists, refuse to allow their thinking to be expanded. The fact is, aionios and aidios are two completely distinct words. St. John makes the definition of aionios for all of us to gaze upon.

"This is zao aionios, that we may know You..."

Aionios is knowing God. In short quality of Life.

And yes, aionios does extend to age and ages, which extends beyond time.

Aionios kolasis likewise extends to a quality of chastisement by the Father of all fathers.

Aidios

Yup, my friend you are again correct. All ALL references to aidios are completely in the Realm of the eternal God of glory. EVERY one of them!

Why thank you Saint Steven. I felt all of your words. I got my answer. Every tree that is shakened bares it fruit. I will burden you no more and I do wish you the best.

We all have believed a lie GT, but some of us feared God more than we feared the church of man to pursue this truth. We sought the truth of God as led of the Spirit of God and changed our thinking....or as the bible says REPENTED. Steven is being Berean for sure, but I don't know that he 'knows' as completely as others here 'know'.

I tell you truly today, that nothing unclean will enter in. Nothing that has not been washed by The Blood of The Lamb.
I just love it when the 'unbelievers' here, attempt to attack us with something we totally agree with. :doh:In doing so you simply prove you don't understand what WE BELIEVE and you don't even understand what YOU BELIEVE. I thought Steve did a pretty good job of showing you 'that' with his 'right on' observation of you judging him for that which you, in believing as you do, are even more guilty of, and don't even see it. But then, in his defense, Steve has certainly removed a log, at least partially, in order to do so. :cool:

As in the days of Noah, so it is today.
True, unfortunately though, you can't tell the church from the world in most of the statistics for sin. Just as much gossip, greed, divorce, addiction, bankruptcy, kids gone to hell, etc. etc.

When the door is shut, there will be many gather out side. Let us be as the wise servants spending our time gathering, so that perhaps the many will be less. This doctrine is but one of the countless ungodly doctrines made to look beautiful. Now who would do such a thing and has he done it once before.
No, brother the 'ungodly doctrine made to look beautiful' is the one that hundreds flock to an altar in order to avoid eternal hell AND the God who throws you in to it. And then they can 'mostly' go back to the life they had before and throw their 'fire insurance' policy into the safe....for when they need it. Hence the statistics I mentioned earlier.

As for me, I've never met an 'uncommitted to Christ' UR/UNI believer. None I know believe that the greasy grace of God will allow them to continue to sin with no punishment....BOTH in this age, AND the age to come.

That's a great point.
Interesting how quickly that false accusation comes out on so many differences of opinion. As soon as you steer away from the legalistic garbage spewed by so many then comes the charge of a license to willful sin.

This doctrine is but one of the countless ungodly doctrines made to look beautiful.

Dear GTW: This "ungodly doctrine", although you cannot grasp it, is what Abba cherishes and what He has determined shall be consummated in the Saviour of all mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ. Make no mistake, the prophets proclaim it and many remarkable individuals have grasped this "ungodly doctrine". Walk carefully friend, watch your words in that which you understand not!

"It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him. And you..."

"Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.

Oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength! All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything."

God is the ta panta, Source, Guide, & Goal of the all.

Jonathan Mitchell N.T. Translation

::Jonathan Mitchell's New Testament Translation::

"...to the end that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the Glory, might give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation (unveiling; uncovering) within a full, experiential knowledge of Himself (in a full realization of Him; within His full knowledge),

18. the eyes of your heart having been enlightened (given light to) into you, to perceive (know) what is the expectation (hope) of His calling (summons; invitation) and what [is] the riches (wealth) of the glory of His inheritance (acquisition by lot) within the set‑apart (holy) ones,

19. and what [is] the continually surpassing (transcendent; overshooting; thrown beyond) greatness of His ability (power) into us ‑ the ones continuously believing in accord with (down from) the operation (energizing) offeree (might) of His strength,

20. which is operative (which He exerted) within the Christ, awakening (arousing; raising) Him forth from out of dead ones and seating Him within His right hand within the things (ones; places) above the heavens (in the super‑heavenlies; within the full, perfected heavenlies).

21. up over (back above) every sovereignty (ruler; principality; government; beginning) and authority and power and lordship, and every name being continually named, not only within this age. but also within the impending one (the one being about to come),

22 and places (placed; arranges) all things under [or: subjects all under] His feet. and gives (gave) Him [as] a Head over everything by (for) the called‑out congregation [or: and as a Head over all things, gave Him to the church],

23 which is His body. that which fills up (the entire contents; the complement) of the One Who is constantly filling (making full) all things (the whole) within all things [or making all things within all things full; constantly filling the whole, in all things]."

God is the ta panta, Source, Guide, & Goal of the all.

Utter extravagance is the theme of our Father's mighty Plan for the mass of sinners broken and bruised by sin.

"This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed - not a single detail missed - and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole. This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time." -Jesus, the Christ-

Every mouth in confession, every knee bowing IN the Name of Jesus..."You are Lord!"

Here on this mountain, God-of-the-Angel-Armies
will throw a feast for all the people of the world,
A feast of the finest foods, a feast with vintage wines,
a feast of seven courses, a feast lavish with gourmet desserts.

And here on this mountain, God will banish
the pall of doom hanging over all peoples,
The shadow of doom darkening all nations.

Yes, he’ll banish death forever.
And God will wipe the tears from every face.
He’ll remove every sign of disgrace
From his people, wherever they are.

Yes! God says so!

Friends: Welcome to the most glorious news of great joy to ALL!

The prophet Isaiah declares it & St. John the beloved sings in antiphonal response>>>

There shall be NO more death

Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away."

No first death.

No second death.

No death.

"I create ALL [things] new!'
