Addressing love without practicing it is a wasted effort. You have apparently decided that God's plan is that which is best for you. Wrong on both counts. One, that is not God's plan and two, even though you may think so it is not best for you. What you you have practiced here on this forum is...

Really believing is more than simply saying the words, "I believe". One who really loves God and believes in Jesus strives to always to do God's will. If you don't do this then you will indeed in the end fall short. Lots of people say that they believe, but if they are only mouthing the words...

But if you fail to forgive Paul for whatever he may have done before he met Jesus, will God forgive you? Jesus says no. Read my post #35. If you cannot forgive Paul, where is your love?

But when you exclude a brother of Jesus [and Paul was certainly a brother of Jesus] do you not also thereby exclude Jesus? "But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my...

I have not said the words are wrong. Yes, first Love and then faith and hope, but you missed my point. No one here is rejecting Jesus and his words. You, however, are rejecting Paul for you fail to understand that Paul was a follower of Jesus when he wrote the epistles [letters] included in...

Go slow here my friend. You are not the only one here on this forum to experience human love. Neither are you the only one here on this forum to experience disappointment in love. I've been married to the same girl for 48 years, so I do know a couple of things. I wouldn't press you too hard on...

Jesus said many good things when he walked planet earth about 2000 years ago, why should we believe that a movies you saw cites them correctly? What you heard the actor in the movie playing the part of Jesus say should have come from the Bible. But did it really? Be careful about putting a movie...

You are not following Luke? Then how is that you learned the words of Jesus as written in the gospels? Do you reject Luke's writings which quote Jesus? Why do you not also reject the writings of Matthew, Mark and John, the other three writers of the gospels? What is the difference? In that...

But Paul did say it a long time before any man thought of producing that movie. Be careful with movies. Like books men have their hand in the pot in deciding what to include or not to include. The only way anyone knows for sure what is the truth and what has been added or subtracted is by...

Who is standing in front of Church? You are the one preaching or teaching here. I am simply asking for you to show me in the Bible. This same Luke, who, according to you, said to listen to the words of Jesus wrote not only about Jesus, but also wrote about Paul. Why should we believe Luke about...

No you did not show me anything. You said that Jesus said it first before we heard it from Paul. While I agree that Love is greater than faith and hope, I was asking you to show me in the Bible where Jesus said that. Why should we pay attention to you but ignore Luke?

Why is it that you thank him for posting Luke, but reject Paul when it was also Luke who gives us the testimony of the Paul's conversion to a follower of Jesus?

Why is it then that we should need your words? Could we not similarly say about your words, 'They are not needed'? When did Jesus say that? Are you able to quote his words citing the chapter and verse?

We have to decide for ourselves so as to not answer or if we do answer to know what to say. It is another step to openly say to anyone who will listen what only needs to be said to them. Sometimes God may want us to announce it all, but that is not always the case. There is a time to remain...

You sure don't know our @Helen very well. She's been walking with God for a great many years and I expect she is closer to the Lord than you understand. Give God the glory!

The formality of denominations and traditional church settings can be, and to many are, a stumbling block for them in any walk with God. They lean too heavily on the rituals and traditions and essential beliefs set forth by those groups and miss too often where God would lead them. If the one...

This mixture is the double minded man James mentions or the old man and the new man about which Apostle Paul writes. The purification is the killing of the old man and the filling up that space within us with the things of the new man. Solomon also wrote of this speaking of the beasts which men...

As the children of Israel were in the wilderness when they went repeatedly in and out to bring their sacrifices to the priests. Always after bringing their sacrifices they went back out into their world of the flesh. They did not even enter in through the first veil for they could not... but...

Do you only watch movies to hear from God? God may indeed speak to us that way, but He really did also give the written scriptures. Should we not make use of everything that God has given us? Here is the Douay-Rheims version of the same verse from Paul's letter written to the church in Corinth...

"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." I Cor 13:13
