How does my brother love Jesus?

[Fiosh]

( I need to ask for some "grace"; I'm finding it difficult to express my thoughts here)

Because Jesus is not only God, but also a man, and I am a woman, I relate to him as such....as a brother...a male friend....my Lord & Master....my King.

Is it different for a man?

As a woman I love Jesus as the woman who washed His feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

I look to Him for protection when I sin, as did the woman caught in adultery.

I "wrap my arms around His ankles" in love and joy as Mary Magdalene did.

I weep at the foot of the cross as Mary did.

How does a man love Jesus? How does a man forge a personal relationship with Him????

I realize this is personal, but I believe it will help our brothers who need to find ways to deepen their relationship with Jesus.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Love you all, my brothers.

but Jesus would've had to have had female DNA. So, I don't think it's any different for a guy.

I'm sorry, Fluffy, I don't follow?

We as christians are the bride of christ. To me Jesus is bigger than anything I could ever be. I can't see how a man's relationship would differ that much from a woman. I will follow Him no matter what. He has the answer to all my needs. He is my confidant. What more can a person say?

When a person is born, they have a certain amount of Chromosomes... they get a certain amount from each parent. Well, Jesus only had a mother, thus He did not have any male DNA in Him. If He did, it would have meant that Joseph was His father, and this simply cannot be true, because God was his "Father". Thus, Jesus would have had the DNA of a female since He had no earthly Father.

What kind of dna does God have?

Why does Jesus call God father if He is not male?

Ummm... Ok explain this then... You have to have 2 strands of DNA for the zygote to form in the first place... It is impossible for a person to have only one strand of DNA...

I'll tell you how- God's power. No science can explain or duplicate it...

[RustyAngeL]

I don't think it's any different either...

I relate to Fiosh's question. I too have wondered about the male perspective on being 'Bride.' For me, as a woman - well, I am head-over-heels in love with the LORD, so the concept of being HIS Bride makes excellent sense to me. But how does a man see it?

[NITE OWL]

I don't know if I can explain it but I'll try.

.......I've been sitting here thinking about this and have no idea what to say.

I guess I see Him as a friend. I see Him as the Son of God. Someone who commands respect. Someone who in the end is going to judge me according to my ways.

I love and worship the Father because He is the Almighty. And if I worship the Father I worship the Son, as I do the Spirit.

I look at this as a great and wonderful adventure. I mean I have contact with a living God. This is better then science fiction because it's real.

The Maker of the heavens and all that is, is willing to let me into His kingdom. I mean...how awesome is that.

I believe in spiritual battles because I've exprienced them. If not for Christ, I would not have overcome them. He is my strength. Without Him I am nothing. A vapor.

I don't know how I worship Him. I know He's with me constantly. He's always there when I need Him.

It's hard to explain. There are feelings I don't have words for.

I don't know...
