Re: Christ is Love
Off topic but I hope it can help one or two, maybe more: It is good to reach for knowledge but it is foolish to embrace ignorance. Far / fare more worse is to promote ignorance. To do this knowingly is a crime to truth and freedom. In either case of ignorance love is far from those who do this. Love without truth is a lie. You can not have love with out truth, the Truth. And with Him is no darkness at all, none!

Re: Christ is Love
There are many levels of love the material aspect of it and the many levels that reach to Heavens Throne. Call it enlightenment call it maturity but love in its many degrees is attainable through humility. Christ Jesus our Lord demonstrated it and taught us how to attain love. Christ was not just humble here on earth but even on His Throne He still remains humble, He always was and always will be. Humility itself does not just sit on His throne but He is ever near the humble and broken hearts. Humility is an energy an enlightening energy. This energy gives life and hope to the broken hearts, if they will only embrace this energy that they feel covering all over them. Many steps to a Throne but only one step to invite the Throne into your own heart. God is ever present but His presence will only be known to those who embrace His presence.

Re: Christ is Love
We pray in our Christian doxologies; "To God be all the glory!" but do we really mean it? John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. .....I hope there are not to many fools among us to believe that we through our own efforts have attained greatness/fruitfulness of the spiritual kind. The divine energy that gives us the life force is the Anointing which is a person, the Holy Spirit who takes from Christ and shares it with us. Greatness is only attainable through humility. But by now we should be able to understand that only the Lord is great and we all at best are vessels of great worth, to Him anyways. He should always be our inspiration and our own attainment for greatness can only be found in humility.

Hi hf

Humility..its very difficult to achieve I think..it means letting go of everything that the ego uses to keep itself alive..with humility comes meekness..

We are learning what God already knows. Its an unfair fight but a fight none the less. Its the fighters that walk in the Light as He is in the light. Its not us, its Him that gives us the techniques on how to win this fight. The fight is not over until the the wars are ceased, I speak in a spiritual manner. I am certain that you understand what I mean. Our efforts do not go unnoticed. God bless you Wildhoneyhf I love Spain never been there but I love Spain.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21500116


Matthew 11 :12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.---The war in Heaven affects us profoundly, beyond our scope of understanding. Never the less Matthew 11: 25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ------When we understand that the Lord is humble we will find rest for our souls. The deception of self pride causes us all to stumble in one way or another.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21500116


Thats odd..I opened the Gospels yesterday randomly ..to see what the |Holy Spirit had to say..and I opened at the very same quote..second paragraph
 Quoting: wildhoney


I dont think its odd at all. The Holy Spirit is without any doubt with us and speaks to us all the time. But thoughts that come from many elements all around this world interfere with our keen ability to hear Him speak to us. Some of the biggest barriers are misconceptions about God and who He is and what He is like. The scriptures are there to confirm this to us and reveal Gods character and His internal impressions about us and that is love in its most purest and loving way.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21500116


It is amazing how He speaks to us like this..
He is patient with our weaknesses and lack of Faith
Sometimes its diffiuclt to keep the Faith because of this schismatic world that is not one with God but perched on the pedestal of ego

Re: Christ is Love
I can't prove that Christ is love, but I can prove that somebody, somebodies, or something is keeping the Universe alive. What i mean is is that there is some force that is keeping the Universe from destroying itself. Tell me why the universe has been around for billions, maybe trillions of years? WIth the kind of evil that is present and the forces of destruction seeming to be the all pervasive force that is present especially on planet Earth, and assuming that evil is just as present here on Earth as it has been throughout all the ages and millenias of all existence.

The people of Earth are testament as to how fast a civilization can degenerate, I find that the greatest empires of earth such as rome have risen to such peaks, and people of that time completely rejected the idea that their might empire would fall. As time would prove wrong their civilization crumbled due to corruption, greed, war,and territorial disputes. The longest a civilization has existed is a mere few thousand years, from what I know. And modern civilizations embrace the ways of decadence even more so.

Assuming that the people in space are just as much so bombarded by the force of decadence as we earthlings are, then they are just as susceptive to degradation and decay. So their civilizations would not live past a few thousand years either.

So who is keeping the Universe from completely obliterating itself. I assume it is the opposing force of darkness. Someone who embraces the oppositional force of darkness to balance it's all destructive nature. IS it Christ? a deity? A group or faction of so called angels, who embrace the forces of light and love? Maybe it's a program?

Well whatever or whoever it is, we are still alive because of its actions and we can thank the presence of this force or being for keeping the universe alive.
 Quoting: Hi 21135541

I think because Creation has a purpose ..or maybe several purposes..so the energy that Created it is keeping it alive..because of thisn or these purposes..

which opens up another set of questions I think

very interesting observation though ac..thank youhf

Re: Christ is Love
wow, you people have nothing else to talk about, you're hold life revolves around a fairy tale that you cannot prove to be true. You may think you have seen/heard god but no, you haven't. That's the DMT in your brains being released because, that is all you focus on, in simpler terms it would mean you are delusional, If that makes you happy, ok i guess. Just don't push your delusional fairytale shit on someone else, we like to keep our sanity and deal with reality. Every day a thread with loveydubby pictures spreads up from you guys, go ahead, keep living in your fantasy, us sane people will learn how to deal with life instead of wishing someone will save us.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1314013


I could start by asking what is reality? and what is life?

I could also ask..how do you deal with it? and what do you get in return?

But Ill just say..that I think most Christians think Big and on a large scale..Our view I believe isnt limited to this reality we percieve with our present senses..or to life as we know it so far..we look at the bigger picture..that existence that is beyond the veil..that reality that will be ushered in ..His Kingdom..That Life that will not be subject to time and or space..That freedom and bliss that will only ..in my opinion..be achieved when these gifts are obtained..
 Quoting: wildhoney


Jesus is reality. Jesus is the Truth. What is truth, as Pontius Pilot asked? It's what actually happened or what actually is. Jesus said that He came to testify of the truth. He came to say that He is the Truth. He came to bear witness of Himself. He came to say that He is reality. This fellow who thinks that Jesus is just a fairy tale doesn't know the truth. He doesn't know Jesus. Why was Jesus so concerned with the truth? Because He knew that there were lies out there, and those who spread lies, and who is the father of lies?...yup that's right, Satan. He was a murderer from the beginning, and Jesus knew that, so Jesus is warning us of these lies that exist. What is a lie? It's a distortion of truth. When something that actually is or actually happened is distorted or altered, it becomes a lie. It's distorting truth, or distorting reality. Those who don't know the Truth (Jesus) create their own distortion of truth, or their own lie. Jesus warned of the fate of those who believed the lies of the father of lies. He see's what's ahead, knowing the end from the beginning, and gives us opportunities to turn around from the false reality to true reality...Him. He wants you to be saved from the wrath to come. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Turn from the false to the Truth. Jesus is the answer, He is the Truth, He is reality. If you don't believe this, ask for yourself, He will not forsake you, as He was already forsaken by our Father for you and me. It is finished, it is written, it's done. Truth is reality.

Re: Christ is Love
God can turn our Hell into Heaven but you need to wait for God's patient timing in your life. I have seen this reality several times in my own life and I am a testament to God's patient timing in my own life. Faith is not a feeling/s, it is an anchor for our souls to wait for God's mercy to arrive despite the feelings of pain and grief we may feel at the time of our afflictions. Faith is an invisible crown of eternal glory that will always be seen on the crowns of our head. Every eternal being in the Heavens and on the earth will acknowledge that we are truly Kings and Queens of the God of the Heavens and the Earth when they see our eternal crowns placed by the King Himself on the crown of our heads on that eternal day that patience will no longer be necessary.

Re: Christ is Love
How do I warn the ministers of God on TV and on various pulpits of various kinds without getting emotional, this I dont know how but I will try. God is love and Love does not charge to preach the gospel. Nor does it ask for offerings to teach it or the many subjects contained in it. If you have to exploit people to preach the gospel then you truly are not preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. .... I want to say more but I shouldnt, God is your judge and you are under His judgement currently if you exploit the gospel for money of any kind. If you have to conjole or coax a human soul to sustain your ministry of the gospel then know this God is not with you or your ministry. God does not need millionaires to preach His gospel nor does He need millionaire ministers to feed the poor. How do you remain million ares and still feed the poor and cloth the poor? God does not need your money and He is not pleased at how you exploit His people. Your delusional if you think Heaven is your home. This is a warning to all the ministers of Jesus Christ wether you hit the million dollar mark or not this warning will reach you, every one of you. Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.---The inference is that the gospel does not need money to reach the poor.

In Heaven when you manifest who you truly are you will for certain have a crown of glory just like the Kings and Queens here on Earth do. But the difference in Heaven is that your crown is, as real as it is, is a depiction of your true character on Earth and in Heaven. Thats all it is! A symbol of who you truly are here on Earth and there in Heaven. Dont under estimate this Heavenly truth for it is the truth. Heavenly crowns are eternal.

Re: Christ is Love
Life in the Spirit or in the spirit is a misnomer. There are no levels of spirituality in Christianity, none at all. The levels of faith spoken of in scripture are in reference to Christian service what ever that entails; pastoring evangelizing or whatever it may be it is a service and should be according to the calling God gave the individual. And that is what it means in concern to the level of faith the scripture spoken of is. Service does not make one greater then another who may not show a level of service in the Kingdom. Their service is still a service but it is not seen by the naked eye. If one has the life of the Spirit, again with the misnomer! You either know the Lord personally or you dont! Jesus living in your heart or in what we know to be our redeemed spirit from Heaven. Its either or. Those who are in the service...why do I have to remind you? You are a servant and not a prima donna CEO of your church or whatever form of ministry God has permitted but may not have called you too. You are a servant like the rest of us and no more. Jesus is our example at least He is suppose to be. The things I want to say but shouldnt say, lol. Your not rock stars get over yourselves. Jesus portrayed Himself..wrong wording, Jesus demonstrated who He is and that is humble. If you have to project or have another to project how much of a martyr[silly notion, isnt it] you are for you then you are not humble at all. If you have to declare how great you are for God then you dont know God. You may have at one point in your life, maybe?

Re: Christ is Love
Doubt is caused by the confusion of pain and heart ache. Doubt is a magic trick that can be undone with an an act of faith. Doubt is a veil that temporary blocks our view of reality. The reality is that God loves us all but when pain inflicts our hearts the sorrow is focused on instead of what is before us at all times.--- Hebrews 12:2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne.---Always have the eyes of your heart fixed on the target that is beyond the veil of doubt. Faith tares through this spiritual block called doubt that is initiated by pain and affliction of various kinds. A Rose has its thorn, a Queen and a King has its throne...awaiting them beyond its stem of pain. Turn your thorn into a throne.hf ... Psalm 50: 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving .....This is an act of faith that you should worship the Almighty when you are improvised of gratitude to the Almighty because of your pain and hurt from confusing circumstance. It is a true sacrifice and the Lord is well pleased when you act in faith. And this sacrifice is an act of faith. You can never out give God. --- Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. --- Psalm 34:18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21500116


In Heaven when you manifest who you truly are you will for certain have a crown of glory just like the Kings and Queens here on Earth do. But the difference in Heaven is that your crown is, as real as it is, is a depiction of your true character on Earth and in Heaven. Thats all it is! A symbol of who you truly are here on Earth and there in Heaven. Dont under estimate this Heavenly truth for it is the truth. Heavenly crowns are eternal.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21500116


The crowns the Lord promised us are already placed on us but we cant see them not yet anyways. You can lose your crown. But if you continue in faith that crown on your spiritual body will be given a place of permanence. Dont lose heart, think about that for a moment. Dont lose heart, remain faithful despite others succeeding over you in live. In this you will prove the crown of glory Jesus Christ placed already on your head. Just because you cant see it doesnt mean it isnt there. It is there if you really are a King or Queen of Heaven. This life is a proving ground for your crown, poor or rich. Take heart! you truly are loved of God, this world may not love you, many may not love you at all but truly you are loved of God.

Wow, this is so on point. ^^ Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
...and what is that "reward"? It's Him! He is the prize, He is eternal life! Keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus is the only way to total freedom. I don't mean free from suffering/pain, free from heartache,rather freedom from confusion as you say. Leaning on the Truth leaves no room for confusion/doubt. Eyes fixed on Jesus, it's all about Him.

When faith is tested there may come times of confusion and doubt but the only way out is to look to the Lord to take you out of this painful moment that even a great man like John the Baptist experienced. Waiting on the Lord to deliver you is an act of faith, more so through your broken heart of discouragement. Kings and Queens will always trust in the Lord no matter what their circumstance may appear to them or others. John was murdered and felt the pain of the judgement on his life yet he remained the King that he is.

Re: Christ is Love
1 Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.--The Angels desire[ epithyméō (from 1909 /epí, "focused on" intensifying 2372 /thymós, "passionate desire") – properly, to show focused passion..]. Hey what can I tell you the Angels are a lot smarter then most of us. Most of us focus on anything but the gospel, its to the point where most do not even fully understand what the gospel of Jesus Christ is because there is so mush distortions on the gospel. We focus on dates of the Lords return when He plainly told us that we would not know, yet we reject His word on this issue and many more. Yet we continue in our own ways instead of heeding the words of truth that proceed from the mouth of God. The years turn to months the months turn to days the days turn to seconds and yet none is the wiser to heed the Lords warnings to Christians. The Virgins are Christians and most have their focus on anything but the gospel of Jesus Christ that can set anyone free. Most are asleep and will weep when the seconds turn to time no more. It pains me that most of you are counting the days yet you are asleep. Those who are watching are those who desire to understand the gospel that God gave us to free us and wake us up. Pretenders acting like contenders. Humility always precedes honor, at least in Heaven it does but not here on Earth currently. I warned you- Christiandom - this might be the last call to wake up and know the Lord personally and actively instead of trying to know things that cant possibly help you or anyone else. Your prophets and dreamers of what help are they? They are suppose to draw your attention to Jesus not to their visions and dreams. This may be my last post also, I am a servant of the Lord at least I try to be. I hope I have helped some and I hope some are now wide awake to see our King arrive shortly. God bless you all and I mean that, friend or foe for that is the love of God revealed to us all through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, sincerely Patch.

The sowing of the wheat[Heavens perception revealed to humanity, us you and me]. The sowing of the tares [mis-perceptions placed on the perceptions Jesus revealed to us-He is the sower after all]. We are dependent on the Holy Spirit to enable us to see through the tares of mis- perceptions place by man or others that do not serve God on the truth of the perceptions Jesus gave us. This is just an analogy of what is or has been done to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth on our day. Matthew 13:Parable of the Wheat and Weeds

24Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. 25But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. 26When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.

27“The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’

28“‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed.

“‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked.

29“‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. 30Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’”

A portion of God the Holy Spirit like a tongue of flame lives in your spirit, your spirit lives in your soul body , your soul body lives in your physical body. Walking in the spirit as you are led of the Holy Spirit. That is your Light if you follow your Light you will find Heaven and operate in its precepts all based on love and humility -cant have one with out the other.

If they had Jesus presented to them as a present person in our reality they just would live the teachings as their mind is discipled, trained as the Lord would experience His life in their hearts-the mind is to receive into the heart. But that is where we fail at times, perceiving with the heart as the mind receives knowledge. We need to receive knowledge as an understanding, a reality in the heart/soul. As our minds strain to understand what is being said so to should our hearts, thats the vital connection. Teaching is very important but experiencing the teachings as a life force in ones heart is the goal that should be attained or sought after. hf This is an act of Grace and a desire of Grace for all our lives. All we have to do is seek Grace and it will be given to us in our hearts and then into the reality of our surroundings.... This one is for you Wildhoney; animals talk all the time but we dont understand what they are saying so we have to understand them with our hearts. Our hearts can at times interpret their words. When the Kingdom comes we will be able to converse with them and they with us. Was it St Francis of Assisi that had a special bond with the animals kingdom? Yeah I think it was, he to is a favorite saint of mine, he was a very good role model to all of us.hf
