Seasoned By Grace ,Consecrated Life my brother.
Yeah. I see it very clearly too from my point of view, as it has been down through the ages. We get to exercise our love for each other, as more important than our final outcome of our thinking and our separate opinions.
I love that.
Exercising love over opinion. the way it should always be.
We come here centered in Christ's love, after we pray before we come here, asking God to provide us the love we need for others before we come here for discussion.
To me, that's just AWESOME.
Who cares about who's right or wrong about predestination.
We get to love each other in the Lord, regardless of what we think.
Do you find that exciting?
I sure do!
The discussion of Predestination & Love are not mutually exclusive .
In fact long before you first addressed me in this thread I prior questioned the void that existed in this predestination thread of any mention whatsoever pertaining to the gift of love for the lost and suffering in spiritual need coming forth from the predestined .
"Still interested in hearing the Spiritual application of belief in predestination's fruits in feeding the spiritually hungry , giving drink to the spiritually thirsty, clothing the spiritually naked, visiting those alone in spiritual prison ?
When you come across these people in such spiritual desperation do you really believe they are in need of hearing how they too can have a predestined badge of preferment pinned to themselves ?
Or is there some infinitely more paramount truth that you think they need to hear about first and foremost ?"
" The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart,
that is the Word of faith , which we preach .
That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved."
( Romans 10: 8-9 )
That was post #100 by the way, and I even brought up this lack of love being mentioned prior to that post.
Curious then to me that with your emphasis on loving that my bringing up the void existing in this thread of any mention of love by the predestined for the spiritually blind, the spiritually poor , the spiritually alone & suffering, you never commented, or chimed in at all ?
Better late than never though and I am glad my brother to have you join me in recognizing this complete absence of any mention of God's purpose of predestination in our being ambassadors of His Love in this thread.
So why do you think there is complete absence of any mention of the predestined preaching the Love of God to the lost and spiritually thirsty from this thread ?
For me predestination and the giving out of the Love of God follow one another as night follows day .
You must have some opinion on why not one word of Love being brought to a selfish & yet unsatisfied world by the predestined has been uttered here ?
After all Predestination is completely fireless orthodoxy with no Love of God being given out to those in desperate need of this Love .
Living water of Love given out to those drinking at the dirty cisterns of this world .
God Bless You + Brother
