I've asked serveral questions giving them question titles that I knew would get your attention and some of the answers from believers, christians or thoise who proclaim to be christ like, it shows just what the world expects from believers and that is to try and to scare the hell out of them rather then sharing Gods word and loving them with his word. Most of your answers where mean, attempting to scare by making God out of a mean God. I know God and I've spent half my life sharing God's Love and never will I make anyone think that God is a mean monsterous God. I pray that when you answer questions that you would remember that there are souls that need dirrection and guidance from "you" believers. For we are to "Go" in to the world and teach, basically sharing Gods word and bringing hope and faith in to the world.

God Loves you and so do I

Stay Blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honey, He is love. From your questions so far, and from this one, I don't know what you believe. Just because God is love that doesn't mean that there are no conditions to salvation. And I don't think it's mean - or that you have to scare people - to tell them that.

May He bless you in your service to Him.

To know God you must be able to look at yourself and deny nothing. When you accept yourself using "true love" as the criteria for all your actions you will probably find that you have to ask for forgiveness that is unless you have never done wrong in your life. Once you truly realise your mistakes (your sin) your heart will open and you can let good (God) come to you. For God and love are not interested in sharing there spirit with those who do bad things.

I'm impressed with your personal ministry. Let me advise you of this my friend. You don't have a monopoly on teaching God's Word. When I want your advise on as to how to minister or witness, i will ask for it.

Now, sir. You made a very critical statement. you didn't mention names. you grouped everyone as one.
I will defend anything I have said 500%. If you have a problem with this, pray about it.

Your knowledge of God is rather lax, my Friend. You should have said this scriptural. you should have emailed any person and talked in private.

YOU sir, never openly confront a Christian about anything. YOU HEAR ME? read your Bible, sport.

YOUR CREDIBILITY AS A CHRISTIAN JUST WENT WAY DOWN. If your surveying for a political position, you just goofed.

I suggest you read the Word before you preach to others about how to enject it.

God Bless You.

Love indeed is the key of creation. When two people love, a new baby could be born to show their love for centuries to come (as this new baby makes more babies later). When people hate, they kill each other and reduce life. Love and hate thus are the very foundations of life and death.

It is clear that the LORD MOST HIGH created this World. The act of conscious creation is usually love. At times this love may be the love of evil in the case of those who are lead astray. But, at the foundation of all creation is love. An artist who does not love his work will not paint.. although some may do it out of need, but they may not get that same heart and soul into their work as someone who does it out of love. There are always exceptions in the World of the Almighty.

THAT SAID, it is also important to preserve the high and lofty laws of the LORD ALMIGHTY. YOU can not love the criminal so much that you give him a free hand to abuse his victims. For him, love may mean restraining him from abusing others. This is where fair war comes into play. It is war, it is destruction, but it is done out of love.

I understand your question is not talking about this issue, but that is a dimension that should be brought into this discussion. Many Christians who are mean are doing that because they fear that their way of life is being threatened. Ironically when they react as they do with aggression, they are really following the Laws of Islam and Judaism, which allow you to fight back to preserve what is considered good in those faiths.

You are right that they are not following Christ as understood by most Christians today. But, we need to remember, that Christ was not a meek fellow who would let the money dealers to do their business in peace in the holy grounds of the Temple. Christ was a fiery man, a man burning with the intensity of a righteous Rabbi, a man who wanted to uplift the World to a higher state of being.. of being in communication with the MIGHTY ONE.

TRUE PEACE can come only in LOVE, but at times LOVE means defending what you love with violence when absolutely necessary against unjust aggressors, who have no right to physically force their religion or way of life on you. THE DIVINE LAWS have given us FREEDOM to CHOOSE, based on which we can rise by choosing right or fall by choosing wrong.

Let no man take that right away. BUT, let no man abuse this grand freedom and abuse others in the very name of freedom either!

I hope this makes sense.

god is love as long as you believe. you can not as a human try and explain gods love. god is the only one that can do it and the only one that should even try. if you help just one person see that faith is the answer and not how or where you practice but that you keep your faith as strong as you can you will feel gods love.

You are certainly correct. Unfortuantely, I think many people try to interpret the teachings of God to suit their own interests and personalities or justify their behavior.

I'm very glad that you are not this way.

Best wishes.

I agree with you mostly. But giving people comfort by saying that we are all loved, we are all saved, and there is no punishment, no hell, gives false security. They should know the love in truth.

God is love, forgiving, merciful, but He himself also says he is vengeful, and wrathful, and we have to know, as believers what he is capable of. We cant accept one part of Him, and not accept the other part.

When people say "be Christ-like" they mean just that -- be loving to everyone around you, no matter their faith, etc.

God is loving. We need to be loving. No scare tactic in that.
