Love not Hate

Attract people with Love. Don't push them away with hate.​

If your actions or words don't edify, you hate!

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ESV​

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ...

Romans 12:17-21 ESV​

Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Galatians 2:20 ESV​

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
As Christians, Jesus lives in you. Are your actions from Jesus?
Proverbs 15:1 ESV
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Romans 3:23 ESV​

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Matthew 5:43-48 ESV​

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.
So your marching order is clear. Love everyone!

1 Corinthians 16:14 ESV​

Let all that you do be done in love.
Love is more than words.

Matthew 7:1-5 ESV​

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

There are so many other verses on Love but I can't put them all in.

Love and forgive. You don't have a choice as a Christian. I'm tired of seeing hate. Help me spread Love!
❤❤❤

I do agree with all that you have listed from the scriptures about love my friend. I would just like to add that we are instructed to chastise as well as correct, remove some from us and even hand others unto Satin. While that may all sound harsh yet I believe that can be done out of or in love yet on here where another only sees our words without seeing our facial expressions they don't realize that it is only out of love for them as well as love for anyone paying attention to what they have posted that we can even begin to do that without being silent at times.

I do know and realize that I'm not perfect. I'm always willing to pray; Lord if I'm wrong have mercy on me and forgive me in Jesus. Lord in Jesus be perfect in me and work through me to accomplish Your desires in me! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Brother, Love does correct and it's TRUE that we can't see each other faces but CORRECTION edifies, it never tares down.
Also;
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

I never want a person to feel hated. It's not of God.
I'm watching words being exchange that goes beyond correction. It shouldn't be on a Christian site. I'm not reading too much into it. It's not edifying, therefore it is hate.
We all have different views and we need to stay Loving. That is my message. Let us all reach in deeper and tolerate one another. Love is patient.
I don't want anyone to work in anything that looks like hatred. We are on a Christian site.

I send real Godly Love, nothing but ❤

 

[Hicks]

If someone errs from his way, then fast and pray that Jesus will show them the right way that leads to heaven. Judge not and you shall not be judged. If anyone has no sin, then throw the first stone. Out of love we must fast and pray for lost souls of the world and for those who left the church because of gossip.

At times even sharing or writing out love can cause another to just call that hate because they had no love in their post and they didn't desire love. I am far from perfect but I would not ever call another a name just for mentioning to me to count something as joy that I posted. I would be convicted to count it as joy. I would stick up for the rest of my brothers and sisters as well.

We all have a purpose for getting on here. Mine is to teach another how to pray, how to always get a Yes and Amen from Jesus by praying His way, being thankful in advance, how to get healed, sharing my testimony to take no thought for ourselves, to take on Jesus' thoughts. I have been chastised for sharing that I wanted to end my life when we are all instructed to die to ourselves. What has Jesus done for me? How can I help another through how Jesus has helped me? Being wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. How we go about all that is all out of love yet everyone may not see it that way.

Some are torn between their thoughts for how another person shares their love when they are instructed to take no thought for themselves. Love is patient, love is kind and love means no harm to anyone. I go on and on sometimes but I truly do love everyone no matter how they think about me.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy how you look at love buddy, it was all scripture and I truly do love scripture for it is the Word of God/Jesus!

Love to me is not an emotion but it stirs emotions. It doesn't come by the intellect but it stirs the mind. It is not physical but it influences it. Love is found in the spirit, not the soul or the body. But it most certainly affects those two parts. Moreover it is the Highest form of order. It's all encompassing. Love is God. There's no ministries, no real fellowship and no salvation without Love. Love is not a sweet word that tickles our emotions. No it goes beyond that. If someone wont Love, then he/she is not a Christian. God will not forgive that individual. The scriptures declare this. Without Love all ministries are in vain.
I understand and appreciate your 'calling/ministry' but I at time I questioned how you deliver the message. At times your methodology is confrontational, and contrary to what you say, it cannot always be swept under the rug as a misunderstanding by those reading your comment. Telling a member that he's not saved and then later suggesting to him that he should leave the site, is not a misunderstanding on our part. Brother James, those comments are not edifying.

Make Peace with him. That's the Christian Way. All this should end.
Just make amends with edifying and kind words.
Let this end.

Yes Steven Bobb, I truly do love you! Is that all you got out of my share?

At times, I am somewhat harsh with others. Like for instance; if someone isn't willing to do the work then how are they going to reap that reward? If someone doesn't want to read the book of Hosea, how are they going to know the promises that God has given to us concerning a marriage, or a child of theirs.

If someone first tells me I should go on a vacation and not come back on here, yes I'm going to say it would be easier for them to get what they want by them leaving. It is just a simple response, not a cruel hateful response. I have asked him to forgive me many times before you ever came on here. I do forgive him but if he is going to make a blog to teach others, I believe he should repent for calling even you a masochist for trying to count anything as joy, if you actually do try to count anything as joy. If someone is going to be so bold as to call another on here a masochist then I am going to make a stand for anyone involved in his thinking in which none of us should think for ourselves as it is. I am sorry but I am that Christian my friend. If you don't want me to stick up for anyone than why do you stand up for someone?

Everyone falls short including me. We are all broken vessels needing Jesus to restore us. It takes at least two persons to make anykind of relationship work, so every side must want it to work. All the glory will go to God.
Brother James and brother Steven, (and yes me, Brother Colin) to give Love a chance is to give God a chance. Let's move on.

 

[TRUTH PREVAILS]

In the spiritual realm, God's Word nourishes the believer. LOVE is the fruit of the Spirit. Gal 5:22-23.Is an inner Christlike guality produced by the indwelling Spirit. Christ Jesus, Son of the living God demonstrated this LOVE by His sacrificial death through suffering and pain at calvary.His goal,Christ Jesus was not personal gain but the interest of others. LOVE is more fully described in 1 Cor 13.Loving will mean caring for the one we love.We draw upon God 's love and we share it with someone else.We can have that love ,but we share love by more than just saying "I love you" We share love through our actions.
