Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 In His own words from Luke Carolyn: (It's a living love.) And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. And in 8: 31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.†And 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. And 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. In a message dated 3/5/2008 2:33:43 P.M.

So yes, love is important, and is communicated to us through our Savior; For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in Him..... Yes God loves all He created, and all can be saved, whether Christians, Jews, Islam, Buddists, cultures, all they have to do is ACCEPT Jesus Christ into their hearts, as their Savior.; 0 ) As long as we are all clear on this then we won't have to go into lengthy debates about what Christianity is, and discuss other things.... I don't wish to argue or debate at all, but I do think the confusion needs to be cleared up. Yes, people choose to believe, or to not, no matter what religion they grew up in, etc..... Carolyn discussing: Warning contains Christian content Dear Jodi, Christianity is no more of God's Love than true Judaism or true Islam or true Buddhism with its absolute harmlessness. Remember that Jesus was Jewish. The expressing of Love comes straight from the Source, and isn't limited to a religion or faith. It's the desire to be here in order to give rather than to get.

But I firmly believe that none of this is worth SQUAT if I don't teach him faith. Jodip.s. Religion is what people do to impress God or whatever they chose to believe in. I believe that Christianity is God's way of reaching out to people. I am not a religious nut. I am a Christian fruitcake.Jodi It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money Finance.
