Peace not Love

In grace, there is an abundance of lovingkindness. Using the words grace and love would be tautological.
You have a habit of commenting on words without understanding the meaning.
No sinner has peace with Elohim:
"But Elohim commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us."

Thing is though IS/I am doesn't know sinner or saint, seeing these fruits are from the same tree of good and evil, peace needs war like hate needs love etc....
Peace with God for sinners who were at war with God.

Maybe you could define grace (Greek: charis) and explain how it does not imply love.

Because that was not God's word that God gave him to write
People who are not at peace cannot accept love. They need to realize God's grace and peace, they need to cease from the turmoil in their heart before they can learn anything else.
If you had a loved on in the hospital, it might be difficult to focus on much else. If you were wondering if God was out to get you, because someone told you He is, then the first thing you would need is to know that God's unmeritted favor and peace is yours for the having.
I cannot learn nor can I receive love until I am ready to learn and receive. I have to first realize that I am in a good state with God. Since both God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ extend grace and peace to me, my heart can be peaceful and calm, then I can receive what they have to offer. One of those things, of course, is their love to me.

:think: Matthew 5:44 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 1 Peter 1:22 1 John 4:7 ONE mark of being saved is being a lover. There are a few weaned on lemons (sometimes me too, but I'm working on it - do better in person than in print...) :e4e: -Lon
Guess the member who is convinced he judges infallibly by the Holy Spirit? He judges every word that we write and passes sentence immediately. The Holy Spirit's leading is to love the brethren not judge them! Let this member speak love and then we can believe he is lead by the Holy Spirit.
