Just Love

A few days ago, someone made a thread here about this naked couple on youtube that preach the bible without clothes on. I'm talking stark naked, both of them. Sitting there on a couch with all their junk hanging out, preaching the word of God.

So, I clicked on it out of curiosity, watched a small portion of a video of theirs and was filled with indignation about it. I was MAD dammit, and I wanted to let them know it! It was now my job to let them know how disgusting they were acting and how wrong they were and how right I was. So, I did. I blasted them in the youtube comments. I felt justified in doing it too, because I was right and they were wrong. I had a "right" to blast them because they were "wrong" and I knew it! I was so right, the rightness was dripping off my keyboard. If I had been anymore right, my head would explode! That's how right I was! They were wrong and I knew it! I was on a mission for right, and they were the offenders! So, I had every right to blast them and say something about it and call them disgusting perverts because after all, I was right and they were wrong, and I knew it!!!

Well.....over the last few days I came to realize with God's help that I was wrong too. Hurting someone else, with the self justification of "being right" is also very wrong. I've since apologized to the couple for my comments because I understand that it's between them and God and God will correct them if need be, but my job is to love them. God corrected me and my thinking.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "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; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."

Here's another true little story about being "right". It's about my aunt and 2 of her sons, my cousins.

The 2 sons got into an argument with their mother years ago. Nobody remembers what the original argument was about, none of them even remember. Well, the 2 sons stopped speaking to their mother. They felt "right" and justified because of something that she either said or did, and then she also felt "right" and justified because they were mean to her in retaliation. Both sides were filled with "right" and "justification" and so neither side would budge.

This went on for years. The amount of pain and suffering it caused was not even measurable, not even fathomable. It destroyed them, all of them, from the inside out. It was a cancer that ate them alive. In fact, one of the sons came down with cancer during that time. He recovered, atleast for now.

Well, my aunt died last month. She passed away in her sleep, nobody expected it, especially not her 2 sons.

There was now no more opportunity to be "right". No more opportunity to hold onto that offense, no more opportunity to be justified in your anger. It was over. Now, there was no opportunity to say I'm Sorry.

Sometimes being right doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is showing love to the people that you are around, even if they are "wrong".


1 John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God."


Maybe you're holding a grudge against someone for something. Maybe it's time now to let it go. I hope that sharing these 2 experiences with you helps you see what's truly important, and it ain't about being right. It's about being love.

PROVERBS 27 VERSE 5

OPEN REBUKE IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE...

27:5 Open - When it is needful, in which case, though it put a man to some shame yet it doth him good. Better - More desirable and beneficial. Secret love - Which does not shew itself by friendly actions, and particularly by free and faithful reproof.

That couple know exctly what they were doing by putting a bad light and mocking our creator.They had all right to be rebuked and cast out or disfellowshipped until they repented of that evil..


grace and love is not always mellow words and hugs it is about hard truths

Nothing wrong with rebuke or correction, as long as it's done with love, compassion and humility.

And, who knows, maybe God will use what they are going for good, who are you or I to determine that?

Anyway, this thread isn't about that couple and what they are doing, it's about showing love and kindness regardless of the circumstances.

How can you all sit there and talk love and not defend the fathers kingdom from these devils. they are not of the fold they are not.

This is why christianity fails there is no order and no one wants to stand up.. its grace and love to the homo sexual behaviors the pedihiles and all lawlessness in the name of that new jesus standard

Question for you:

The westboro baptist group think they are doing the right thing too, they feel "right" and "justified" in their activities.

Do you agree with them?

I follow the book if the book gives instruction thast is from the father,I don't follow institutions they are all cults with a personal agenda using the bible.

You didn't answer the question. Please give a direct answer to my question.

Do you agree with westboro's means of preaching? Do you agree with their activities?

i know not of them I answered you. I am not on the youtube and teleevangelism and all that stuff

to answer your question any institution that teaches contrary to the word of the most high...that means not living up to the laws cammands and statutes of messiah . they are all guilty of chaos and misrepresenting the word.

That is from joel olsteen to tdjakes to whomever to westboro

But, from their perspective they are preaching the word of god because the bible says that God hates homosexuality.

So, westboro says that "god hates fags".

Don't you basically preach the same thing?

The most important thing Neim, is to love people. You can't beat them over the head with doctrine, it doesn't work. You have to love them into the Kingdom.

Romans 13:10 "Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law."

Just love people no matter what. Jesus is a God of Love.

you are assuming and twisting things as usual.. My best friend is gay grew up with him ..but I hate the actioin ..He knows better so I was tough on him in love and he snapped out of it

... he hates the action and ther are those of you who know it is wrong and you pamper it and there are practicing men and women who deliberately push it in our faces as mockery and that is evil

Want to share

How awesome is our God, today will be 1st time, me , my sister and my mom will be in a church together , other than for funerals , since 1964

I never said it wasn't sinful.

But it is also sinful to be self-righteous and arrogant.

Have a great day Neim.

Learn your lessons then Lisa and stop attack Kundalini, which when risen is proof of being full of the Holy Spirit. And stop sending people to hell fire.

You dont like the truth ..that spirit is a dangerous spirit so you all continue to pacify it remeber in genesis they were trying to have sex with the angels... its only a matter of time when they have full control and start harassing people more viciously with all the laws going in their favor..IT IS A SPIRIT
