Most of Christianity needs a verse/passage to FORCE them to do the right thing, and a verse/passage to force them to think the right way (attitude) because LOVE is such a strange idea/concept to humanity (keep in mind,...God is LOVE, not faith). A person can have faith in a lot of things. I have faith in the laws of physics, but I don't LOVE them. Faith in God's abilities (power/omnipotence) is NOT a manifestation of His SPIRIT (GOD IS LOVE). There are many things that we READ in the TEXT (scripture), but God is not "LAW", nor is God ten "Commandments", nor is God "ordinances ("COMMANDS" in the New Testament), neither is God pleased by our compliance to protocol (avoiding this and that 'sin'/imperfection yields nothing of the heart).GOD IS LOVE (and He would like/prefer/wants/wishes/desires that we would be the same (to Him and "our neighbor"/fellow human being), but history has shown that that very few people on this earth ACTUALLY CARE about His likes and dislikes...EXAMPLE...God did allow Moses to offer certificates of divorce (it's practical for battered wives, etc.), but He also IMMEDIATELY said (in no uncertain terms) "I HATE divorce". The people who CARE about His likes and dislikes are GODLY (and will benefit from choosing His son's salvation and the indwelling of His spirit), others who never learn to CARE about God's likes/dislikes, AND never learn to feel sorrow when their neighbors are scorned/shamed or suffer any kind of injustice, simply "worship with their lips". God is LOVE (the "GREATEST of these", 1 Corinthians 13:13).Our goodness (good behavior) should not be by COMPULSION (following 'orders'/TEXT), but of our own freewill CONSCIENCE, Philemon verse 14. The KNOWLEDGE of good and evil (CONSCIENCE,...the tree that Adam ate of, we should learn how to use that knowledge of good and evil, Hebrews 5:14) is not TEXT knowledge, it should become a person's peaceful/loving COUNTENANCE. This is a "more excellent way" of devotion, 1 Corinthians 12:31). People who are satisfied with simply CALLING themselves "christians" will never recieve "living" water baptism (John 7:38) nor will they recieve "the better things that belong to salvation" (Hebrews 6:9) or know "the depths of God" (1 Corinthians 2:10). They rather conveniently INTERPRET scripture to mean what they want (instead of UNDERSTAND) and play 'master scholar' with "parables" (Matthew 13:13 and 19, Mark 4:12). That is why they will continue to have the STRONG delusion (that existed all throughout history) unless they choose the "MORE EXCELLENT WAY" and also learn to have a passion for OBJECTIVE truth ("and so be saved", 2 Thessalonians 2:10,...speaking in no uncertain terms in order to communicate TRUTH, etc.). They continue to chase after the worship habits of ancient cultures and use their terminology/nomenclature/scriptures and feasts/methods (Bereans, "Elohim" and such). Everything BEFORE the spirit was given (John 7:39) is not a valid means of worship/devotion for the NEW Testament [GODLY] Christian (except the Father's true identity, FOREVER "I am who I am", Exodus 3:14 (the Father told His true/forever name so we can be like Him with our own individuality/identity and truly relate to Him).(no "self abasement", Colossians 2:18 and 23). Intellectuals ("master scholars") glorify THEMSELVES, not GOD.God is LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13 is the LOVE chapter of the bible, yet "christianity" has always chosen to effectively IGNORE it (it should be our hallmark/manual/example of devotion). Whenever asked about that chapter, pastors will 'brush ut off' saying that it is an "example of how things will be in the future city of God", NOT SO, it is how things should be here on earth NOW in the heart AND MIND of the TRUE worshipper (John 4:23) who worship in SPIRIT and TRUTH.MOST modern bible versions are worldly/carnal (they were made to be politially correct, not GODLY correct), and traditional "christian" teachings are APOSTATE.TRUE Christianity is a LOVE, not a "faith".All verses are from the Revised Standard Version (no version is COMPLETELY discrepancy free,...translation inequalities from the Greek). The RSV is the most understandable and accurate.
