    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    You cannot have true love unless you advocate for justice. God is love (1 John 1:4-8) – and He is Justice (Psalm 7:11, 89:14) . . . Like an angry child throwing blind punches in the dark . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Greek already has a word for “consider/consideration” – and it’s NOT Agape. It is theoró (θεωρώ). Your continued insistence on re-defining Agape just to win an argument is just pathetic . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Not in ANY Greek dictionary or concordance that I know of. AI was one of MANY sources I consulted. YOU, on the other hand, invent your own definitions . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    I quoted SEVERAL scholarly sources. How about Jesus?? John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love (agape) one another. As I have loved (ag-ap-ah'-o) you, so you must love (agape) one another. YOU just don’t like being proven WRONG . . . Peter didn’t kill Ananaias and Sapphira. The Holy Spirit...

    And your ad hominem attacks are all the proof I need to know that you’ve LOST this debate . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    WRONG. - he loved them. He didn’t “disregard” them any more than a parent disregards a disobedient child It was his duty to scold them. I sure hope you’re NOT a parent . . . Nonsense. You can continue to redefine the word ‘agape’ to YOUR preference – but you’ll STILL be wrong. The weight of...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    It's impossible for people like YOU who have no faith. Jesus commands us to love our enemies. Matt. 5:43-45 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Do you realize how stupid and ignoran that sounds? You sound like a typical racist who says that all black people are criiinals because he knows a few who are. Most of the Catholics I know read the Bible - and I've been Catholic for over 50 years . . . Firs of all - , if you knew your Bible...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    WRONG again. No - it is the verb for of agape. which is defined as a "selfless and sacrificial love". Matt. 22:39 uses this verb (agapao / ἀγαπήσεις), referring to a committed, volitional love rather than just affection

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    WRONG. Matt. 22:39 ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν. “LOVE (agapeo) your neighbor as yourself.”

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    If you’re gonna be an anti-Catholic – at LEAST be an honest one . . . And it IS a Biblical doctrine . . . The Father is God Eph. 4:6, Psalm 68:5, Mal. 2:10, 2 Cor. 1:3-4, John 3:16, John 8:41, 1 Thess. 3:13 The Son is God Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, Matt. 4:7, John 1:1, John 1:3, John 8:58, John...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    The problem with these guys is that they let their pride get the better of them. None of them was scholarly enough to translate the Bible into ANY language. The result was bad translations that were full of errors, leading MANY peopoe astray. Wycliffe’s heresies included the denial of the...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Ummmm, maybe it’s because they were HANDWRITTEN and weren’t available to the masses until the advent of the printing press in the 15th century. Good grief . . . The Catholic Church does NOT elevate doctrines “over” Scripture. Where do you get this nonsense?? Do you know WHY people were...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    You can tell that rto Jesus when He is judging you - because He doesn’t say stupid things . . . Matt. 22:39 "Love your neighbor as yourself". Now, now . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Tell that to all the people in Hell . . . No, you’re supposed to love your neighbor unconditionally. Matt. 22:39 ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’". Except for when YOU quote it, of course . . . Actually, it’s an ancient Greek word, which would predate the NT. No – I just understand that...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    And, according to Strong's, the word for "trust" is empistosýni - but YOU keep insisting it's pistis . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    ALL 3 of these examples cold be seen as having an unconditional love for something. They ALL talk about loving the things of this world – to the detriment of losing one’s soul. Agape isn’t necessarily a saving love. It CAN be if it is directed towards God. Satan’s followers can have an agape...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    From AI definition: Agape (ἀγάπη) is a Greek term for a selfless, unconditional, sacrificial love, often described as the highest form of love, particularly in Christian theology, representing God's love for humanity and the love humans should show each other Agape is the love that we...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    It absolutely IS unconditional. Agape is the love that God has for us (Rom. 8:35-39) – and that we are to have for each other (1 Cor. 13:4-6). No - Satan didn’t have faith at all. He believed but didn’t trust. So much for your narrow definition of “faith” . . . Nope – they are wise men and...
