Luvvy duvvy camps.
The manner of speaking I undestand would word it: "I am the representation of the Way by which everyone comes to the Father and everyone who comes to the Father comes in the way of that concern for the well-being of everyone that IS the kind of love I teach."

The problem comes when the architects of control try to make the idea EXclusive, that everyone needs to belong to their religion about Jesus, instead of following the Way He demonstrated that has nothing to do with ANY religion.

I'm sorry, where and what is that "definition of love" that is in the Bible?

So the answer, as I said is "No, I don't love AS MUCH as Jesus" but I do love in the Way of Jesus and I am trying to grow in that Way.

There IS a difference between quantity or quality and process.

It is in the OT and in the Gospel of John. One must have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

Read and speak the Lord to gain the ears and the eyes of vision.

Find out how God loves the Son and love like the son.

What does the Son do as described in the Gospels and stated by Jesus?

Thank you Miss H. How do you see that in relation to the following exchange?

So Jesus went to prepare a place for us that when he returned we would be in the same place and Jesus said that place was no other than in his Father. In the Father is what he lived out of>>>>> same chapter, pay attention The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Don't be bothered just find the ability for yourself to read the scripture by the Spirit, you'll have to let go off all your preconceived ideas first though.

Heaven is a literal place where Jesus in resurrection body is seated at the right hand of the Father and where as shown in Revelation 7:9-14 believers go when they die. It is a place where the apostle Paul was caught up to (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). It is a place where the apostle John was taken in his vision in which he was given the revelation.

In Revelation 4:1 John writes, ''After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, ''Come up here, and I will you what must take place after these things.''

But you can't locate the third heaven using spatial coordinates. It's a real place, perhaps beyond the Universe, or perhaps in different dimension, another plane of existence.

Oh honey, I answered the question correctly ...please don't now give me homework...pleeeeze...

OK, I went back and read the exchange...simply put...(but gee,
I've known this for 4 decades)...the Father, His Kingdom, and Jesus are all within...
This is why I advocate stillness and meditation ...sitting for hour after hour after hour after hour for decades.
It's all inside. Always has been.
