The love of God

@tmmaier How wonderful that there's a place called heaven and then there we shall fully know him and the mysteries and trials of life shall be made plain.

@teachmetiger210503 such a wonderful truth to rely on.
I find it so sad that a person who posts something about God on here comes under such vicious attack. I do not understand why the unbelievers can not remain silent.
I guess there is no use "throwing pearls before swine." I am not trying to change their heart, that is between them and God.
It is sad that people attack people when their beliefs do not align.

@tmmaier @tmmaier I don't mind if if I could say something or do something for God. I'm in no way perfect, infact far from it but I God will do his part. Thanks for for your concern it means a lot. I will add you could you be my friend.

@teachmetiger210503 I too am a sinner who is far from perfect. I try to die in the flesh and live for his will more each day. It is a strange and difficult world we live in.
Of course I will be your friend in Christ.

[@t0mmaier] It's a difficult world indeed. To die in the flesh and live in the spirit is something I admire but failed time and again . Let 's be friends in Christ and remember each other in prayer.Thank you .

@tmmaier I like the word "reckless". Thanks. Suggestive in many ways.

@tmmaier I really think that it is the picture/image of God in anyone's mind that draws forth the scepticism. Given the picture presented and advocated by some believers, such scepticism is not misplaced. Again, the sheer misery perpetrated upon our world in the name of religion is another reason why many will not remain silent.

Personally I don't think "pearls before swine" is entirely appropriate.

@tmmaier Are you sure you meant to write [i]reckless[/i] love? Reckless means without thinking or caring about the consequences of an action. That hardly describes Christ.

@DalisMoustache [quote]I really think that it is the picture/image of God in anyone's mind that draws forth the scepticism. Given the picture presented and advocated by some believers, such scepticism is not misplaced.[/quote]

What picture/image would that be? And how do you know those who may depict a bad picture of Christ are really believers? They could be false teachers. I've never of committed believers in Christ deliberately painting a bad picture of him.

@tmmaier I agree with most of what you said, except the reference of "pearls before swine" could be taken negatively for those who don't understand that phrase and in what context it is in. Therefore it will not reflect love, in that respect. I feel it was inappropriately used. You and I understand it, but many will not and we all know that Christ loves all. I just think a better reference could have been used.
