    Jesus said,"If you love Me, keep My Commandments." John 14:15

  • 9 years ago

    Only in the mind, knowing I'm a guilty man, and death is my physical reward. Knowing I'm guilty helps me to judge less harshly, my fellow man.

    God's commands are new, yet from the beginning, love one another. This can not be done in the flesh, but the mind, it is knowledge that is the true image of God, now. But when Christ appears, I will see as I have been known.

    Stop being vague and general, this is a trait of humanity. Specific and detailed is spirit.

    Just do what God commands. If every body would do this one command, "Love one another", the world would be a much better place for all.

    John 13:34

    (NASB)

    34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

    1 John 3:23

    (NASB)

    23 This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

    1 Peter 4:8

    (NASB)

    8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

    Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments, If you do not keep my commandments, you do not love me".

    Follow this with: "As you do to the least, you do also unto god".

    So, to put it all together: If you treat others as you want to be treated, you are showing love to God.

    1. It is not loving to think that I will go to hell just because I am not like you.

    2. It is not loving to judge my behaviors based on your notions. (I do not believe that a potential human is a human)

    3. It is not loving to tell people that homosexuality is a lifestyle choice.

    4. It is not loving to support the death penalty.

    5. It is not loving to support war.

    6. It is not loving to love your money more than you love your god.

    I will let you add to the list.

    God created us to have a relationship with us. Prayer is the first and foremost thing to do entertwined with praise and worship

    Accept His Son Jesus Christ and live like you mean it! Surrender your life, give it to Him, and watch everything fall into place. Sin is what keeps us away from God, so try not to. If you are about to sin, pray and ask God to help you through the sin. If God doesn't seem to be enough for you (and He is MORE THAN ENOUGH), pray more and ask God to fill you so you can fill others! :)

    God is full of condridictions.

    If you do not believe in a deity than it should be A-deist not Atheist...

    The meaning of an Atheist is without (A) Theos Greek for utterances or sayings. Theist comes from the word Theos. We are all atheist if we do not believe in one another’s utterances.

    The word god comes from the German word Godan/Gotten which comes from the Norse male myth deity Wotan/Odin.

    I became an atheist after I learned by reading what was actually in the religious books. All the world’s religions are made from mythology and that is a fact. The people mostly men ministering these religions are liars or very much uninformed. Dozens of Scholars confirm the fact that all these religions are based on made up mythological stories. In fact evil is written within all these man made religions but they deceive you by expecting you to have the little girl/boy mind and not question what all is in these books. Now that there is the internet we can pull up information about what is in all these religions. Take advantage of the last 200 years of real scholarly research during the age of enlightenment. There is a lot of history that surrounds all the religions that exist outside of what is written in the religious text. Here is some not so nice things the myth Jesus & new & old testament says.

    Matthew 10:34. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

    "And that servant [slave], which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes." (Luke 12:47) He never denounced servitude, incorporating the master-slave relationship into many of his parables.

    By the way the word Lord comes from Europe. A Lord was a land owner. You could not leave the Lord (land owner) without his permission. If you did you would be captured/ punished or killed by the Lord…….Look up the futile system in Europe. Why do you think our relatives left Europe? It is pure ignorance to say Jesus is Lord………

    "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)

    The burning of unbelievers during the Inquisition was based on the words of Jesus: "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (John 15:6)

    When one of his disciples requested time off for his father's funeral, Jesus rebuked him: "Let the dead bury their dead." (Matthew 8:22)

    "Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go." (Judges 19:24-25)

    How is this last babble bible passage much different from Islam?

    "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14

    Subjection: Bring, make under domination or control, esp. by conquest.

    There is a damn good reason why there is a separation from religion & state. Women did not get the right to vote until the 1920's because of the cruel/misogynistic bible.

    Google Hitler was Catholic & the Vatican & a few Jews & Muslims helped the Nazis.....

    http://religionpoisons.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/th...

    & Google (You tube) " Did the Vatican Create Islam" ......

    Google "The Evil bible & "The dark bible women's inferior status"

    Suggested reading: "Christ Conspiracy the Greatest Story Ever Sold." It explains the history & mythology behind the Judeo/Christian & Islam which followed after (Vatican helped created Islam)

    Google www.truth be known & "The Founding Fathers Were Not Christian"

    The most stringent controls on speech in the colonial period were controls that outlawed or otherwise censored speech that was considered blasphemous in a religious sense. A 1646 Massachusetts law, for example, punished persons who denied the immortality of the soul. In 1612, a Virginia governor declared the death penalty for a person that denied the Trinity under Virginia's Laws Divine, Moral and Martial, which also outlawed blasphemy, speaking badly of ministers and royalty, and "disgraceful word

    Obey him.

    "For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments . . ." (1John 5:3)

    "but, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, even as the Father has given me commandment [to do], so I am doing. . . ." (John 14:31)

    "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." (John 14:21) ~ Note: God's love is conditional. God loves you if you keep Christ's commandments.

    "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him." (John 14:23) ~ Note: This is showing God's conditional love again. God loves you and will be inside you if you keep Christ's word. God hates all the workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5)
