Love is serving others? So are those who are in the Navy loving others, police officers? Is that fulfilling the Law? What about waiters and waitresses, butlers and maids? Is obedience the only way to love God? If obedience is the only thing God was looking for why isn't the commandment obey...

I am praying for you...

These are interesting, yet the question persists...what is love? Are you saying love is obedience?

Yeah please expand on your opinion...I am hanging in space with that one... I love the rest of your response though, har har.

Scripture tells us God is love... Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. But what is love? This is not a question necessarily seeking to find out the correlation between God and love...

I agree motive is the key respect regarding our response to salvation. Rigorous practice of rule keeping is something the Jews became very good at and still to this day uphold, yet their hearts are and were hard. It is through the Spirit we can come to the depths of God's moral objectivity and...

What I am coming to understand is an unstained, without blemish or spot, "new man" that is perceived by God through the blood of Christ and faith in the redeeming power of such. This "new man" needs not to work for salvation as is told in Scripture for it is a gift to be received by faith...

I am certain through through all of this we can still do what is not loving. Being the greatest commandment is to love God, all of us are to live out this principle. I feel we all fall short our task in this...we only know of One who always did what was pleasing to the Father. Here we are...

18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has...

Thinking on righteousness, holiness, and sanctification there is nothing we can add to Jesus' sacrifice. Nothing else is needed for the blood of Christ is fully sufficient. Thinking on gratitude and love for His paying my debt there is nothing I can withold from Him including my very life for...

Teleios can also mean complete...

Sanctification is to make holy. To be holy is to be set apart for God's purpose. Are we not made holy upon belief and the Indwelling of the Spirit? What can man do to make himself holy? Are we to work to make ourselves more holy than the Spirit makes us? Just an fyi...I have spoken about the...

Yet you have said if anyone sins they can not have the Holy Spirit. You have even said they are indwelt by the devil. Paul describes a struggle with sin transparently in Scripture yet we know his letters to be Scripture. Only the Holy Spirit can produce Scripture. How can Paul who teaches...

This further supports the OP...

So then are you perfect in regards to sin? When you say Paul wasn't perfect do you mean in regards to sin? If not then please explain your position.

Just to qualify... Are you stating Paul who has co-authored the majority of the New Testament was not perfect regarding sin but your are?

Johnlove, Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Then why does Paul say this to the Philppeans? Also lets keep in mind the Romans 7:14-25 is in the present tense...

Circular reasoning...convoluted teachings...the depths men will go to maintain their false security.

As I have said before the spirit of pride is unteachable. I just don't like when false teaching goes about unchecked. The interesting part of this particular false teacher is he was caught in sin...his teachings must be coming from the devil.

God can and does use believers to do His work...raising the dead is part of His work.
