No matter how good or valid your arguments might be, you have lost it when you make remarks like this. Have a nice day, I am done here.

Jesus was kind, this was from the link you provided, and so should we be kind. Only by God's grace, mercy and forgiveness can we be saved. I doubt there are a handful of people who deserve salvation though their own merit. Jesus died for sinners; why would he need to die for the just? None of...

Thanks for sharing. Jesus prayed that we we might also be one. John 17 I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me...

I started this thread by asking; Could God love each and everyone of us as he loves himself? How many of Jesus's neighbors did he love as himself? Jesus loves us up to the point of dying for us. How does God the Father love himself? After creation God saw that his creation was good. It...

I reckon there are a fair percentage of people on Earth today who Jesus could label as snakes in the same way. Jesus died for sinners, did he die for those he called vipers and hypocrites? If Jesus died for sinners, it must mean that he loves us as much as he loves himself. Did Jesus love all...

When Jesus spent his time on Earth, did he love all his neighbours as he loves himself?

Jesus died once and for all. It is within God's power to make this happen. This only seems to make sense if these plans were set in place before the creation of the universe and life began. I wonder if first we can search for one Greatest GOOD purpose for creation, then we could come back to...

You defined love as wisely acting in the best interest of others; but is this the greatest way that God can love us? Or could it possibly be that God loves each and everyone of us as he loves himself. Would this be the greatest way that God could love us? Absolutely agree with you, and we can...

Thanks for bringing more clarity to my sloppy use of words. It does make more sense that God hoped Adam and Eve would obey what seems to be a seemingly innocuous law. I guess God knew that once mankind had disobeyed a fairly small law, we would then go onto disobey all the important laws...

I have been trying to think of an analogy that defines purpose. Maybe its like designing a formula 1 racing car, everything about design is focused on one single purpose - winning races. This one purpose of winning races has been the driving force that engines, gear boxes, steering etc have...

Thanks, I like that definition, especially the acting wisely.

We cannot know the mind of God, but the only thing that comes to mind is a greater good life after death with our Lord, when everything will be put right.

Our Lord set us an example of what we should be prepared to do. John 3.16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has...

When Jesus spent his time on Earth, he would have lived by the greatest commandments. But how did Jesus hold out his hands on the cross and love the man with the hammer and nails, as he loves himself? We know Jesus prayed on the cross forgive them Father for they know not what they do. I know I...

I guess God could have created fully mature adults in his own image and likeness and then we would be programmed to be as God is. But God calls us his children, and children are born with very little knowledge but we have the gift of learning for ourselves. The tree of the knowledge of good...

Jesus loved the Father, the first and greatest commandment, the second was to love all his neighbours as he loves himself. When Jesus spent his time on earth he was a man like us, so the second commandment should also apply. As Jesus was both man and God; the greatest commandments seem to take...

When Jesus spent his time on Earth, would he have lived by the greatest commandments? He said these commandments are greatest for us, and I can't imagine that Jesus would give them to us. if they did not have a meaning for him.

Could God love us as he loves himself? This is the same language Jesus used when he gave us the greatest commandments. The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. Are we being selfish by following the greatest commandments?

Could God love each and everyone of us as he loves himself? The following is just a collection of words to challenge the mind to think. If you choose to read further, then search for something greater. Here is a childlike and yet profound way to test the power of the greatest commandments...

That poses a real dilemma. I could carry Covid and not not know a thing about it. If I was the only one at risk, then I would not see this as a problem, I would carry on with life as normal. But the risk with Covid is unknowingly passing it on. If we adhere to the lockdown rules, this puts our...
