Do we truly know the source of love? As you've said numerous times elsewhere, we need to cling to Jesus and allow Him to work in and through us according to His good pleasure. Bad fruit cannot come from a good tree. Cling to the Vine and though we may stumble from time to time, we will also get up every time. Heaven will be full of people who all got up one more time than they stumbled.
For though a lamb may stumble GOD is with HIM to lead Him quickly back to the path .
And GOD uses lambs to correct error and quickly . To look out for the lambs .
The question now is , Is GOD well pleased with those who turned a blind eye to sin
and instead of correcting one in error they just let them remain in said error .
And the answer is a resounding no .
YE shall in no wise HATE your neighbor in your heart , You shall in any way rebuke , correct Him and not allow sin upon Him .
HE who hates his brother is in darkness .
So my question is , why does todays love simply holler to those who do correct , HEY DONT JUDGE
The answer to that my friend is , ITS the sensual love of the world which comes of the carnal mind .
For the love that comes from GOD and has been planted upon the heart of a lamb
desires none to perish , it does correct , it saves some through compassion and others through fear
but what it DONT DO , is just remain silent and let folks be destroyed in sin .
Though the more abundantely i LOVE YOU , the less i be loved . For paul had that agape love from GOD
and Did correct . When we cease to correct leaven within the church , that church will surely leaven and surely fall .
One more question my friend . What KIND of love teaches the church that other religoins have no need
to repent and to believe in Christ , that so long as they do good they are the children of GOD and are saved .
Answer . IT AINT . FOR one must believe in CHRIST to be saved . We really need to examine
todays unity . For it seems to be all about reconciling unbelievers with believers , man with man
AND YET that wont work . THE true reconcilation is under attack , THE GOSPEL which reconciles man to GOD
that is FAITH IN JESUS . Instead its been replaced with a gospel that reconciles us into being unequally yoked
and just doing good works . That my friend wont work it will indeed destroy . The focus must, therefore , be
back on the original BELIEVE YE IN JESUS GOSPEL and on all things HE and the apostels did teach .
Its the only pattern that will work .
