Love is not a felling.
It's not even a feeling.
Love is a choice to do what is best for the other person.
Please learn to spell, OK?
Did you just tell me, a grown man of 45 that love is not a felling?
Stop talking to me, your starting to sound very stupid no offence.
Love, in the truest sense of the word, is a verb. When you or I say, "I love you.", love is a verb. When the word "love" (all Greek forms) is used in the word it's typically used that way. Examin the following scripture:Did you just tell me, a grown man of 45 that love is not a felling?

Jesus told us to love one another, that is one of his greatest commandments, all the other commandments follow them. So, by this, that is a felling of love, so there you go, one of the greatest commandments is based on a felling of love.
I think there's merit in what you've said. I don't believe you can truly live out that mandate or the example we're shown in 1 Corinthians 13 without an abiding love for the other person. Not with constancy.
I'm remembering someone who compelled me to pray those verses on his behalf. I labored for him for years and kept him on prayer lists. There were countless times when I turned the other cheek and endured spiritual harassment on his behalf. All because I loved him. I loved his soul and spirit and desired him to have what I'd found.
I can't fathom doing the same for someone else. There's not a soul I've encountered (Christian or otherwise) who'd compel me to lay down my life in prayer for more than seven years. That takes more than a God bless you and praise the Lord. It takes an abiding manifestation of agape that doesn't quit.
The absence of the feelings you mentioned is why he's the lone example I can cite. Wanting the best for someone and sacrificing without complaint are light years apart. I've lived them both and I'd choose the latter every time.
If the world loved each other and held the felling's of love for one another there would be no sins and all people would be perfect in the site of God.
Thank you for your comment.

God "loved" the world, then He took action by showing it. It sounds like love is more than an action, "For God so loved the word that He gave His only-begotten Son", and "God demonstrates His love for us in that while we were yet still sinners Christ died for us."

BTW, your repeatedly writing "felling" for "feeling" doesn't make you look too bright, either.Did you just tell me, a grown man of 45 that love is not a felling?

I'm sorry, no offence but Jesus is my salvation and people do not need others to tell them and determine if there salvation is what they say it is.
If I fill the holy spirit that does not take away my salvation.
You are starting or have started a debate on feeling the holy spirit in contraction of having forgiveness from Jesus.
You call it salvation, I call it being saved for my sins as every sin is forgiven but one.
And that is speaking against and denying the holy spirit.
So no ones salvation as you call it is threatened, as if felling the holy spirit is a sin, its not my sin, as I did not make myself fell this way.
I give credit to God for everything.
That's not what's under discussioin.What about Godly sorrow? Isnt that emotional?
Paul the apostle did just this. He warned people to examine themselves carefully to make sure they were actually saved. Why would he do this if he thought as you do that it was unnecessary to evaluate a person's claim of salvation? Merely saying, "Jesus is my salvation," doesn't make it true. Jesus remarked on this and said that there will be those at the Final Judgment who will say to him, "Lord, Lord," but to whom he will respond, "I never knew you." In Scripture, the apostles identified repeatedly those within the Church who were false converts. I don't see, then, that what you say above is biblical.
I never said that it did. I said that if you had understood the Gospel by way of mistaken ideas about the Spirit, you may have misunderstood the Gospel, too. This is not the same as saying that "feeling the Spirit" - whatever that means - means you aren't saved.
Sorry, but I don't understand what you've written here.
I call what salvation, exactly? Being saved entails being forgiven, but there is much more to being saved than this. Much more.
??? You've lost me here...What is speaking against and denying the Spirit? I have done neither thing, so I don't understand your suggestion that I have.
The salvation of a person who is truly saved cannot be threatened, but there are many who think they are saved when they are not. Some of them will get a terrible shock when they stand before Christ at the Final Judgment and are rejected by him.
I've said that much of what some Christians claim is a manifestation of the Spirit is no such thing. It is a blasphemous thing to assert that a tingle or sensation of warmth is the Spirit when it is not. It is blasphemous to claim that the Holy Spirit has made a person convulse upon the floor, or laugh like a mad man, or cry hysterically. There is no ground whatever in the Bible for saying such things about the Holy Spirit. And yet, many Christians do so without hesitation, showing in doing so a profound lack of understanding about the nature and work of the Spirit.
And my point is that in some things, you ought not to say, "This is God!" What are those things? See above. Read my earlier posts.
You have yet to offer any biblical basis for your thinking and claims about "feeling the Spirit" and you have yet to offer good justification for saying, "The Holy Spirit is making me tingle and feel a shock." As far as I can see, you simply assume, without good reason, that your claims about the Spirit must be true, ignoring entirely the possibility that you might be wrong.
About claims of 'feeling the spirit' i say is almost impossible to receive like in pentecost the filling of the spirit and not feeling it. Yes the spirit can be felt perfectly, there is the presence of God too, the glory of God, the water of life, entering the Holy place too, all this can be felt.
BTW, your repeatedly writing "felling" for "feeling" doesn't make you look too bright, either.
No offence.

No, love is NOT a feeling (or even a felling, as you keep on writing). It is a choice.
Feelings (fellings, to you) may accompany it after the choice is made.
Lust is a feeling, too. How do you tell the difference?
Why should I take the advice of a man who can't even spell a simple word like "feeling," or who tries to form plurals with apostrophe s?If you can not tell the difference from lust and love, both felling's, then we need to not debate this, you need to go see a doctor.
Obviously, you know nothing much about monks.And no so called fake monk would insult others on there spelling.
