Taken,

Do you love perfectly?

Second time I’ve asked

 

[Taken]

Let's see if you can be an adult and not again duck out. You have a choice of a simple yes, or no answer.
Let's see how well you follow directions.

1 John 3:9
No one who is begotten by God commits sin,
Because God's seed remains in him.
He cannot sin because he is begotten by God.

Question:
Do you believe this Scripture is True.

Answer Choices:
Yes
No

UPDATE....BOL's answer...

Yup..."IF"

So BOL, is your answer "NO"...if YOUR CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET?

LOL

 

[Heb 13:8]

Great verses - but NOT sure why you sent them to me as a response because they have NOTHING to do with your past post.
Stick to the conversation at hand - or start a NEW thread . . .

Blind is blind I supose. god bless.

Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.

Gal 4:30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son.”

Eph 1:13-14 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Heb 9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

1 Pet 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Cor 15:12-19 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

1 Pet 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.

Uh, and?

Are you really THAT stupid or do you just act like that for entertainment?

I'm really starting to think you are here for the fighting and enjoying it.

 

[aspen]

anyone who says they do not sin has to believe they love perfectly. I’ve never met anyone on Earth who loves perfectly........

Have you, Taken?

 

[Triumph1300]

Yawn.

That's the best you can come up with as an answer to BOL?
How childish, how old are you? Does your mom know you'r on the internet?

Have you, Taken?

To love someone "perfectly" entails that the love is unconditional, which is an impossible task in this world. There are certainly conditions to love, and I just roll my eyes at anyone claiming otherwise.

All we can do is practice

Perhaps, I just keep it simple and treat others like I would want to be treated, and this is not "unconditional" or "perfect" love, its just showing that you have an ounce of common decency within you. You can apply this basic principle that Jesus taught to global politics and the world would be in a much better state that its in right now. This is what God wants to see with everyone, not just the saints. He is not looking for "perfect", because only God is perfect.

Indeed. I believe it is our sanctification. Unconditional love is citizenship in Heaven.

I think I saw a glimpse of it years ago in an Amish community when the entire community forgave one of their members for a violent crime.

And I don't even consider just forgiving someone "unconditional" love. Just as there are limits to growth, there are also limits to love when it comes down to it.

Okay.

Okay.

Have you, Taken?

Sure.

I'm sorry everyone you know is in fear.

1 John 4: 18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casters out fear:
Because fear hath torment.
He that fears the is not made perfect in love.

God Bless,
Taken

I'm here for Christian fellowship...you know..
Being called names, told your beliefs are a lie, told Scripture doesn't mean what it says...
Other people deciding my words for me...
Told sinners cleansed of their sins, anew in Christ are the same old men committing sins....
But I have to say; my fav is being called an Einstein for disagreeing with Catholic teaching....lol

My Mother is dead, go ask BOL if she knows, he talks to the dead.

And the next time you want to mention My Mother....muzzle your mouth instead!

 

[Triumph1300]

Well... you sure act like a little child.
When given a proper answer you come back with something stupid to save face.
I am not a Roman Catholic and are certainly not in agreement with all BOL posts.
But you.....you are a plain nuisance, if you don't get your way you cry like a baby and you were the first one to start the name calling game.
(Check it out and scroll back.)
So as far as that goes, BOL seems to be the winner in this stupid thread. Not you.

My mother is dead too, but she's alive.

And again - this has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of the false Protestant invention of OSAS.
Focus . . .

Then when Jesus tells us to love our enemies He was being unreasonable or asking the impossible? I think when we start o=down the road of saying something is impossible in this world, we do two things. We express a lack of faith in God, and reduce the effectiveness of His power in us to love one another (unconditionally) in keeping with His commandments. Remember, love is not an emotion. It is an act of the will. If you are willing to love the unlovable, then God will give you the enabling.

Notice the key words here, to "love one another". Do you see what you are actually saying here? This concept of love first of all has to go both ways for it to really work. And really, when Jesus said love your neighbor as you would yourself, I don't think he meant "unconditionally" like you love God "with all your heart, soul and mind". To me, THAT would be truly unreasonable. Would God command you to love humanity "with all your heart, mind and soul"?
