The Christian Life

[Epoisses]

2 John 1:6
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

1 John 2:3 And by this we may know that we know Him--if we obey His commands.

You obey nothing.

 

[God's Truth]

You obey nothing.

No false accuser I do obey.

You are doing works for Satan double duty.

 

[God's Truth]

Obey what - the old law?

Obey the new law it is the law of Christ and what he taught.

That's what it always comes down to with you people. Gentiles were never required to keep the law from Genesis to Revelation.

No. The Gentiles were SEPARATE and WITHOUT God BECAUSE THEY DID NOT obey. See Ephesians 2:12.

Your law is to put all your trust in Christ and nothing in yourself because you're a sinner and can't perform one good deed.

That is a lie, for there were and are people who can and do obey.

The new law of Christ is to love God and love my neighbor as myself. Do you obey this law perfectly?

 

[God's Truth]

The new law of Christ is to love God and love my neighbor as myself. Do you obey this law perfectly?

Of course I do. Loving your neighbor means doing them no harm.

Are you bragging about harming your neighbor and preaching to people it is okay and from God?

 

[God's Truth]

Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

 

[Epoisses]

Of course I do. Loving your neighbor means doing them no harm.

Are you bragging about harming your neighbor and preaching to people it is okay and from God?

You don't obey and you don't love and repentance is a gift from God that you do not possess. God winked at such ignorance as yours in days gone by but today there is no excuse.

 

[God's Truth]

You don't obey and you don't love and repentance is a gift from God that you do not possess. God winked at such ignorance as yours in days gone by but today there is no excuse.

So you got nothing, no truth, only accusations and insults. So much for you trying to be a teacher.

 

[Epoisses]

Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Love is a gift from God that believers receive at conversion. Converted people talk about faith and being led by the Spirit which are alien concepts to you.

 

[Epoisses]

So you got nothing, no truth, only accusations and insults. So much for you trying to be a teacher.

Your heart is hardened and the more banter just makes it harder and harder.

 

[JudgeRightly]

Love is a gift from God that believers receive at conversion.

So unbelievers can't love?

 

[Epoisses]

So unbelievers can't love?

They have human love which is selfish, you obviously don't know the difference JudgedWrongly!

Luke doesn't seem to think there's a difference...

“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. - Luke 6:32 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke6:32&version=NKJV

Phileo is the selfish human love

Agape is the perfect unselfish love

 

[JudgeRightly]

Phileo is the selfish human love

Agape is the perfect unselfish love

I don't see phileo anywhere in that verse. (See the image)

John knew the difference

So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest(agape) thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love(phileo) thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest(agape) thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love(phileo) thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest(phileo) thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest(phileo) thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love(phileo) thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. John 21:15-17

 

[God's Truth]

God says that even wicked people love.

You are speaking wickedly to me and think you have purified sincere love from God?

 

[God's Truth]

Your heart is hardened and the more banter just makes it harder and harder.

...just more false accusations.

You would try to debate me but you know you cannot, so you merely insult and think it is pleasing to God.

 

[God's Truth]

So unbelievers can't love?

There you go, JR.

You don't get that pure love from God unless you obey Him.
