@Marymog I dare you to say that you love the wife beater next door...or the child sex offender up the street, through your own feeling.......impossible....we make the choice and God enables us. GOD command us to do so.
We are unable to love God or man by our feelings...we start by faith..and God enables.

I didn't say there were no feelings...feelings follow...our choice...
You are right. You never said there were no feelings.

I understand what you are saying now.

I do love them. Not in the same way I love my spouse or you, but I do feel love for them. God loves them and demands (enables) it of us.

When I feel like I'm cold/hot, I don't decide I'm cold/hot. I just am.

When I am in a situation I feel like I am going to die don't decide I am going to have fear. It just happens.

When I see someone with an obvious injury (bones protruding, severe bleeding) I don't decide I am going to feel empathy for them and a need to help them. It just happens.

Maybe the third time is a ChArM: Where does scripture "clearly" say that we are not to go on feelings?

Forcing a person to sin by MAKING them call me a liar? I control his keyboard?

Third strike and your out.....:cool:

That's not how I read it.
John 17 "That they all may be one, ( nothing about 'speaking' ) as thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us...

..I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me."

ByGrace,

What you quoted isn't the only scripture passage that talks about being ONE: Romans 15:6, 1 Corinthians 1:10

How can we all be ONE if we have 100 different doctrines in 30,000 different churches? Paul told Timothy (2 Timothy 2:2) what I have told you teach to other men so they may teach other men. He didn't say, What I have taught you change it, modify it, teach it to others so that they may change it, modify it and teach it to others. Paul (and Scripture) made it clear they were all to speak as ONE, with ONE voice and ONE doctrine. When they were no longer teaching as ONE we ended up with The Council of Jerusalem. The decision at the Council brought all the Churches to ONE teaching/doctrine on the matter.

Hey there @Marymog ...

When I was a young Christian I used to quote this one to myself often.
I was a "feeling" person, and God taught me slowly about faith.

Prov 3 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." I had to learn about the difference between trust v feel.
If we don't, we can feel that something is right...when it is totally wrong.
I cannot trust my 'feelings'.
It will probably not mean much to you...but this is how God led me.

Prov 28 " Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered."

Faith and Trust balances out "Fear and Feel."
We have 'fear and fee'l in our life from childhood...but as we grow in the Spirit, then Faith and Trust take over.
If we allow feelings to lead us through life, we will quickly fall into the ditch.
NO, you are right...( but you know that) there is no verse that says-
< Don't walk by feelings, walk by faith. >
But when reading scripture it is right there over and over again.
It is one of the first things we learn from the Lord...the Faith walk.

......H

And this has absolutely nothing to do with your online cult, "aggressivechristianity.net."
Those wackos pervert the Scriptures like nobody else - and YOU swallow every morsel of it.
Run out of words to say, revert to name calling and hate, That is all you ever do, call Jesus a liar consistently,

Mat_18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

And that you do consistently

here you are again stuck for word, so you do what you do best

Joh_10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:

which is all you do, for Christ

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

but all you offer is death and that has being recognised by so many, you are only fooling yourself.

Have a lovely day with your religion.

Yes BOL you should learn.

Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Joh 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Joh 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

I do hope you discover teh truth before Judgement. You have placed many a stumbling block before Gods children as to which you will answer for.

You've completely lost track of the conversation.
Let me know when you're ready to have a grown up, intelligent talk . . .

Never lost track of conversation, you lead men on that wide road to destruction. you know the other way,

Joh_10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

As i have said before, It is in your bible ...

Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Yet all you do, just like the Jws and all the other religions, is suck people into your religion. You have noting to offer anyone but death, which again you wil be held accountable for.

Mat_18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

You will never be able to say " I didnt know".

Unfortunately - you CAN say, "I don't know" about most things regarding Scripture and the Church.
At least you were ignorant until myself and a few others educated you about a few things. Now you can't claim ignorance.

As I've said about a hundred times - my only purpose here is to expose all of the lies and asinine accusations from people like YOU . . .

Yes you are very clearly right. When I am asked by the Lord why I didnt join teh catholic religion , I can honestly tell Him, that there was this man BOL who by his very own word exposed it wickedness and hatred for teh truth, who sought not to bring men to you but into prison by religion and whom placed many stumbling blocks for men. Who by his very own words, has rejected teh truth brought men into condemnation and called you a liar, rejected teh truth spoken to him and thereby rejecting you for you are teh truth and in You there is no lie.

1Sa_8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

I have been unable to find any scriptures to substantiate, that Jesus sent anyone forth with the directive to " Go, expose all who according to you is lying, and straighten them out for Me."
One other thing, and this is of actual concern to me......How ARE you going to justify all the terrible things that have come out of your 'mouth' / 'hands' , toward the Lords children? When He asks you :" Have you loved My lambs? Have you loved My sheep"? What ARE you going to say back to Him ?
When you accuse someone, who has the Lord in them and them in the Lord, when you call them asinine ( as just one little example of the horrid things coming from you ) don't you understand that you are also calling the Lord asinine ? Being ONE with the Lord is something not many take seriously at all, thus they just spill over at the mouth and bring accusation after accusation toward The Lords children......THUS standing in the SAME place as THE ACCUSER.....Is that really where you want to find yourself one day? NOT on the side of our Advocate, but rather on the side of His enemy and ours?
Is there not one iota in you, which can take even one minute to at least weigh up what is being shared with you? Or are you on some sort of 'auto-pilot' ? Many of us, do not necessarily agree 100% on all things, but we don't start throwing filth at one another. I can't help wondering what it is in you, which makes you do so ALL the time? This time don't bother having a go at me for posting here, as you have jumped in on my posts a couple of times too.
Just because we come from different directions in our walk with Him, doesn't mean I don't care about you, as a human being...... Can you say the same? Pia

And, by the same token - I challenge YOU to find one single verse of Scripture that supports YOU and your anti-Catholic cronies here to LIE. I can't seem to find a shred of Scriptural support for that. If you can produce it - then please present it.

Chapter and verse, please.

PS - People who engage in lying and spewing falsehoods do NOT have the Lord in them.

I never call GOD a "liar".
I only point out when YOU lie.

Again - stop quoting Scripture until you understand what it means . . .
