Nick,

you asked:

So where does it say that Jesus desires our love?

I just gave you two verses that you can deduce that from.

John 14:21

“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

Matt 10:37

   37“He who loves fa…

Nick,

Do you think that Jesus desires our love after reading these two verses? Do you think that Jesus is saying that you are to love him as much as you love your father and mother, sons and daughters or more than your father and mother, sons and daughters?

John 14:21

“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he…[Read more]

Nick,

Are these two statements the same or very different:

Jesus needs our love.

Jesus desires our love.

Nick, I don’t think that I said that the Son of God needs our love. Can you show me where I said that Jesus “needs” our love?

Hi Nick,

you asked:

When did our Master demand that we love him?

He doesn’t demand that we love him.

you said:

We serve a master who expects more commitment evidence than just professed love.

Do you think that I do not know that?

Mike,

you said:

Now just think about that for a while… “The moon is also not above their heads…”

We see it up in the sky above us when it’s under our feet?

Mike, Mike, Mike…the sun is behind the X-men, the moon is IN FRONT of the X-men. The stars are above their heads. If it wasn’t that way, there would be no eclipse.

Nick,

1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and…[Read more]

Gene,

you asked:

So now, because i disagree with you i am arrogant? Is that the way you view people who disagree with you. Jesus told us to have Salt in yourselves “and” have peace.

Actually I do not know why you are arrogant, maybe you can tell me. I certainly do not view people who disagree with me as arrogant just because they disagree wit…[Read more]

Gene,

you said:

So which hing on a door is more important the upper or the lower, are they not “BOTH” EQUALLY IMPORTANT?

No Gene, not according to Jesus. Read what He thinks about it:

Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment.

Did you…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

I didn’t say we aren’t to obey the Son.

Which is better:

1. Your son obeys you but doesn’t love you.

2. Your son loves you and therefore obeys you.

Mike,

You said this regarding your jumping jack funnel circles:

Okay, there is no way the umbra (or penumbra for that matter) can be anywhere but at their feet. The shadow of the earth cannot possibly be above their heads, as they are all standing at the terminator line, where light and dark meet on the earth. So because of that, there is no way…

Here ya go Mike and Dig and t8,

Look at the moon’s path and note how it goes above the ecliptic plane and then below the ecliptic plane (the white circle) and then back again for a full circuit (which happens approximately during a 28 day period). The total lunar eclipses happen only when the moon meets the ecliptic plane AND happens to meet it…[Read more]

Hi MIke,

Have you had your dinner yet? Poor guy, you are working so much and then you come on here spending hours trying to “help” us. You want to defend God’s word and that is admirable. Honestly Mike, I understand why the moon eclipses from the top down and from the bottom up with just looking into it during these last few days. This really is…[Read more]

Jodi,

You take great strides to show that Jesus was the promised unblemished Lamb, a promised man, but we already know that.

What you do not get is that the unblemished Lamb was the Shepherd beforehand. Jesus owned the sheep before He became a sheep. He was Lord over the sheep.

Also what you confuse is the way that Jesus was the only begotten…[Read more]

Gene,

Isaiah 53 has a true perspective that can correct yours. Please take some time to read the chapter…take all the time you want.

10But the LORD was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,
            He will see His offspring,
            He will prolong His days,
…[Read more]

Nick,

Jesus has no need for our obedience without love. He desires our love, a love that is expressed in part by our obedience. Obedience doesn’t come before love for Him, Love comes first then out of love comes obedience if one is wise that is.

Nick,

Do you live by those words here on HN? Would you answer Jesus the same way you talk to members here?

Mike,

you said:

But great research, and thank you for that information and videos about yet another top down eclipse in 2007.

You are welcome.

From what I can tell, for every top-down eclipse, there is a bottom-up eclipse from the opposite hemisphere. It is a normal eclipse. I could find LOTS of them. The reason you haven’t seen a lot is…[Read more]

Gene,

you said:

Fact is you haven’t even given the meaning of the word love, do you even know it?

Does that statement that you wrote sound a bit arrogant to you Gene.? Go look at the OP, Gene and then you might want to rephrase that. Read it slowly, the whole first post. Does it say what love is NOT notice the word “arrogant”, Gene, does it say t…[Read more]

Gene

How about you answer the OP, in a clear, bold, direct way as you have been asked more than once to do.

After that you may ask that question again. The answer may surprise you.
