[Revelation 911]

I guess Jonah did it all wrong:

and I could direct to any of 100 verses with Christ talking about love - and you know that

- what is your problem? - I try to be civil and converse and your continue being a point of nuisance and dissention

I'd point out that were under a new covenant - but lo and behold youd find reason to bitch about that as well - so Im abandoning the thread - the rest of the neeners can stomach your nonsense - Ive frankly had my fill

[Gamecock]

I think Christ also spent a lot of time on repentance and eternal judgment. You can't have love without the rest. The New Covenant is for the Believer, the pagan will be judged under the Old Covenant.


BTW, why is it when I apologized for my behavior and asked to return to the topic at hand, I continued to be vilified by you and your friends?

[ItsOurTimeNow]

At the very onset of Christ's preaching:

"From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." - Mt. 4:17

Pretty straight forward to me. Nothing about "making withdrawals and deposits into someone's Emotional Bank Account" there.

You can't love God, and you certainly can't love your neighbor unless you've first repented of your sin. The love comes from His forgiveness of our iniquity, which is forgiven once repentance is made.

The unsaved cannot love with a Godly motive, only a worldly (and thus selfish) one.

[PetroniusMaximus]

What is a neener????
