Hi Nick,
The many members of my church and I are in spiritual communion with the Father and the Son.
Are you in spiritual communion with the Father and the Son and anybody else? If you are the only one member of your idea of “truth” and you can’t even name any other members, maybe your “truth” needs to realize that you are probably very w…[Read more]

Nick,
Is that your way of saying that the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are all in the first commandment category with you? That when you love the LORD God with all your heart, soul and mind, you are loving the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit more than your neighbor but you also love your neighbor?

t8,
In your post you quoted Mike and responded:
Mike: If big bang, deep time, heliocentric cosmology is right, the Bible is wrong.
Boom! That is the deception. Get as many Christians believing this and then the world can say with confidence, that the Bible has been proven wrong. Sad part would be that the Bible isn’t saying what you are saying M…

Hi Gene,
Thank you for your indirect answer. I guess that is the best that I am going to get from you? I was hoping for a clear direct answer that identified choice b as your answer. I assume that would be your direct response if you were to give one, correct?
In part I agree with you…Jesus is the head of the family of God and under God the…[Read more]

Hi Nick,
I love you. I’ll wait. I hope you can help me understand clearly what is your choice sooner than later. This is not a game for me. I really want to know clearly where everybody stands when looking at these most important commandments.
God bless,
LU

Hi Nick,
Please make it crystal clear. Choose one:
a) first commandment
b)second commandment
Lightenup replied to the topic 2 Commandments, in Which Way do YOU Love Jesus in the forum Scriptural Teachings 7 years, 10 months ago
Gene, Ed, Jodi, Nick, Miia, Jael, David and anyone else that hasn’t clearly said which commandment they love Jesus as, could you please post your choice clearly here.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you Mike!

Hi Gene,
So far you have not directly said which commandment you place your love for Jesus. Could you please make that crystal clear for us.
Can you please select one specific commandment, choose a or be and please leave off any commentary so that we can clearly see where you stand:
a) The First Commandment
b) The Second Commandment
Thank you Gene!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to this topic, I know you are real busy these days.
You asked me this:
But where do you place God’s other faithful servants like Michael and Gabriel in your two-choice scenario? Are they God, or neighbor? Where do you place your own children as compared to a person who molests and t…

Mike,
Here are my thoughts about the lunar eclipse as it eclipses from the top down or from the bottom up. It has to do with what hemisphere you are on. In other words, to those on the Northern hemisphere, if the moon is going from 5 degrees north of the ecliptic plane to 5 degrees south of the ecliptic plane in it’s orbit, it will eclipse from…[Read more]

It might help you, Jodi, and Ed, to think of the Son as a “part” of the Father, the one true God. He is the very important “part” of the Father that goes back and forth from the realm of the Father to the realm of creation. He is how God is with us while the Father is in the heavenly realm of unapproachable light being invisible to us.
He (the…[Read more]

Hi Nick,
you asked:
Why do need to take an intellectual and theoretical approach to how you relate to God and His Son?
Do you not know them and fellowship with them in the one Spirit yet?
Would you prefer an unintelligent approach, Nick? Wisdom is from God, do you advocate an unwise approach to relating to the Father, Son and Spirit. That would…[Read more]

Anthony,
Thank you for your response. In order for someone to be begotten, they need to already exist before the begetting. For example, in order for you to be brought out of your house, you have to be in the house beforehand.
Jesus was IN the Father before He was brought out/begotten from the Father, do you agree?
The Son, being eternally…[Read more]

Jodi,
you said:
Isaac was not Abraham’s firstborn son, but he was CALLED that according to a PROMISE.
Do you mean to say that Isaac was called the “only begotten” according to a promise? Maybe you can show me where he is also called the “firstborn” of Abraham. I am not aware of that.
Thanks,
LU

Jodi,
I believe you are confused when you said:
I think LU said it right here, “Anthony, i don’t think were adopted,…
You are quoting what I quoted Gene saying. I completely believe that believers are “adopted sons.” I put up verses that make that crystal clear.
Lightenup replied to the topic 2 Commandments, in Which Way do YOU Love Jesus in the forum Scriptural Teachings 7 years, 10 months ago
So Nick,
Since you said this “You too try to divide God from His Son,” does that mean you love the Son according to the first commandment? Please clarify. I thought you would love the Son as yourself, as a neighbor in the second commandment since to you He is just a man.

Good Dig4truth,
Claiming Jesus as your Lord and God would definitely place your love in the first commandment category! Thanks for your response here.
Blessings,
LU

Hi WJ,
you asked:
Why does it put part of my quote in Kathi’s?
It is probably because you did not click on the “ mark on the toolbar above. When finished quoting someone, click on the “ mark which would change it from quote to non-quote.
That should help. There are some nuances with the quoting process than there were way back when. You’ll get t…[Read more]

Are you addressing that to me, Nick? If so, a false church would produce bad fruit.
Find a good church, one that produces good fruit: love, joy, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, handling accurately the Word of God, providing water baptism, serving communion, equipping the saints, reaching the lost, worshiping the F…[Read more]
