I can dislike somebody and still treat them respectfully until I can get away from them.....

And then what bro?

I like what you said here, but I think it goes a little deeper, maybe a lot deeper than this, and has a GODLY SUPER - NATURAL side to it that man doesn't understand, much like the LOVE teaching of JESUS that astounded people and how he performed that love in peoples lives they were over-whelmed by it like the adultress caught in the act and Jesus forgave her and didn't condemn her one bit - she was shocked, and so were the people when Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead. These were acts of love that no one else could perform or understand because they were SUPER - NATURAL and that's what God expects from us is a SUPER - NATURAL LOVE that stands out and is never experienced from a natural man.

A kind of love that we have to pray for and seek God out for, so we can be that salt we're supposed to be for others to give a SUPER - NATURAL flavor to life that is so good that others want it, but God is the only source.

Or think of being that LIGHT Jesus says we're supposed to be that comes into a persons life and has so much natural love from GOD for them in the way we treat them by accepting them, and being patient and supportive in a way no one can make happen unless the Holy Spirit is working through them.

In fact for me what I have learned for myself is that all that God asks of us to do is impossible for us because God is asking us to be just like Christ was - PERFECT, and isn't that God's goal for us to be as perfect as we can be.  James 1:2 says, "Consider it all joy when you encounter various trial, knowing that the testing of you faith produces endurance, and let that endurance have it's PERFECT result, that you may be PERFECT and complete, lacking in nothing.

For us to achieve our COMPLETE "SALVATION" God makes it IMPOSSIBLE for us to do any of it on our own. All that He asks from us we must seek out on our knees in prayer for the impossible, each time God reveals something new that's required of us for our growth in our faith. Nothing God requires of us is possible on our own so that we get no credit at all, but God gets the GLORY - AWESOME

Lastly....SALVATION IS A PROCESS NOT AN EVENT, ACTUALLY IT'S BOTH BUT COMPLICATED, SO WE'LL GET BACK TO THAT LATER...Sorry  to those who disagree, but truth is truth unless your blind to it...I know, I know, you hate that too, maybe you even hate my theology or even hate me, so lay it on me and attack me with all you have, it'll just ROLL OFF, you're better off ignoring me.

I'm not going away folks so ignoring me would probably work best.

Ya know people, when you know the truth, the truth will set you free, and here I am ...........free indeed.......Lovin' on you the best I know how, because your all worth it.

I like my new home.....WELCOME HOME DAVE.

MAN LIFE IS GOOD

( By the way...some of you need to lighten up and enjoy life a lot more here, and not be so INTENSE  A little LOVE and laughter goes a long way to just enjoy living. Too many here way too uptight)

 

I understand where you are coming from.There are three different types of love.What you are describing is “ agape” Love. That is an other -worldly ,pure , unconditional Love that only God Possesses. If we one practices Faith , God can express that Love “ through” a person.I have heard it said that in the end, God is not really interested in what we do- He is interested in what “HE” does “ THROUGH” us.Always made sense to me.

I don’t hate you or your theology.....For many years I have considered myself “ a free man in Christ”. It appears that I have met a kindred spirit.The subjects debated in these Forums are deadly serious .....doctrines determine Heaven or Hell, But I agree that we don’t have to take ourselves serious “ALL”.Believers  have won the Battle.....we have “ overcome the Evil One”......I am saved forever, I know it and that gives me great joy- that leads me to a light- heartedness That is bound to show.Its hard to suppress the Joy that God has put in my heart .God bless...

Continue to try to avoid them.....when that is not possible , try to be respectful again......perhaps say a prayer for them....I don’t have to kiss their behinds....I am not Jesus......I am too Carnal to offer the other cheek and I have yet to meet a man that would.....That’s why Jesus is Jesus and we are who we are......Jesus turned the other cheek....thanks to what HE did.....we do not have to.....

We are to become more like Christ and not settled in our own frailty... no matter the cost to self!

Mark 8:34-36

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
KJV
