I’ve found the Word of God became flesh and is known to us in the Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, who is one with the Father and is the Son of God, the Messiah, and is made known to us by the eyewitness testimony in the Gospels and of those with the spiritual gift of apostleship given by God the Holy Spirit, as chosen by the Son of God per the plan of the Father. all three persons who are one God.
If we seek to understand why He has given us life, then He has provided the Son of God as the image of the Father for us to understand. The Son is glorified by God the Holy Spirit in His work. His work includes the provision of His Word in Scripture. All true faith comes from Him, imcluding our initial saving faith, and more mature Bible doctrine built precept upon precept.
Mercy and love are easily misunderstood concepts, but through faith in Christ we have the perfect example of the type of love we are to have for our fellow man. Not all acts of mercy and love are provided by Him, but many are counterfeit to distract us from His Plan.
What?They are ALL counterfeit,not just many if the intent has evil motives.The devil cannot provide a true act of love or mercy,nor can anyone with an evil intent
They are not acts of love and mercy in the first place and one should not even call them acts of love and mercy.
Perhaps you should rethink this,Dear Friend
No. The Spirit and the Son come from the Father, who is the only one without a cause; He is the source and cause of everything and all that is. The Son is begotten and the Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father.
The Word/Wisdom (Logos) is the The Expression of God's glory in the Creation. The Creation is the visible evidence of God's Word, the Expression of God's Wisdom, the way a house is a visible evidence, or expression (hence a "word") of an architect's mind.
The Gospels were written by men about, and not by, that Logos. The Word (Logos) is not the Scripture.
Mercy and love are easily misunderstood concepts,
How so?
