Well those who love their neighbor as themselves don’t steal their stuff or murder them. They don’t covet their family or relatives either. So I don’t see how the ten commandments God gave Moses are allowed to be broken under Jesus’ commandments.
It’s true but the funny thing about the human heart is that if you act like you love someone, often eventually you do. This is why actors often “fall” in love with their leading partner in films. It’s how we work. At first we just acted out of will. Later it was real. What the mind decides to do, the heart often gets on the band wagon.
Not at all. I know people who took a job, for example to have an income, decided to find good in it, and ended up loving it.
Oh, they proclaim Scriptures all right
We will walk unfettered to the guillotine confessing
Maybe you don't understand baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. When done as the Apostles taught we receive the baptism of water and Spirit. We are born again into the Church, the body of Jesus, and are baptized with God's Holy Spirit.
Yes, but I am talking about a different baptism,
The baptism which John and the followers of Jesus performed was water baptism, the baptism of repentance. This, plus the laying on of hands to receive God's Holy Spirit is combined to be baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit that the Church has celebrated since the first century.
He created everything so of what use is this information? The question is never if we made up or created love or hope but what we DO with what God created.
You forget that they could have bought themselves candy instead of a card for mom. That is the point. If you admit it all belongs to God, do you give it all back to Him or do you spend it on you instead? That is the question.
But did we refuse to receive what He desired to give?
The Bible calls some men “righteous” and sone seeking God so there’s a problem with your wide application. Some were called righteous and some were called seeking God.
Once we experience forgiveness, we do know and are responsible to do so to others.
As baby Christians sure. As mature Christians this is way too little. A child loves his parents cause they give presents. An adult offspring no longer needs the presents in order to love.
If you think He is doing it all ignoring the constant warnings of what we have to do, you’re going to be disappointed. Jesus has his part and we have our part. He is not doing our part for us.
He has told us what we need to do and leaves us to want to do it, pray for help to do it and not resist the Holy Spirit retarding our own growth.
He is bound by his word, gladly. When, for example, he taught that if we don’t forgive, we won’t be forgiven. He will not deny that promise.
True
Where is it written you are one of those? How come not a single apostle taught that to the believers? Isn’t it because there isn’t any description of those given to Jesus except the 12?
