See Finn's post just before this one.
If you view the world as being wicked, there's no way you have peace. Quoting the bible does not give peace.

I don't agree about "satan's rule", but we're in agreement on politicians lying

Atheists do not have God's love in them or they would praise Him.
And the particular point under examination was whether God loves them. And, as I pointed out, He does.

BBE John 14:30 After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

It is why it is such a mess.

Yes, but they don't love Him. General group, not individuals.

It definitely does, a peace you do not have.

How do you know they do, when they reject His existence? Maybe you know better about those who say he is a fairy tale?

Here is your problem.

You and your buddy camps spend som much time attacking others, that you actually give the lie to your claim of having God's love. Your posts turn people away from your position, not draw them closer as it is all based on your opinion and claim YOU are spirit led. No evidence of it yet.

Please note that you and I do agree on somethings, but not everything and your posts turn me further away from your views.

Try actually answering instead of using the silly old "the best defense is a good offense". Don't offend, help "good" people SEE truth, not take your word for it.

I don't judge by human standards or appearances, period. God knows . . . that is sufficient.

This is an example of you accusing us of things we never do. We attack no one. We witness to our understanding of Christ and His Gospel and decry the corruption that exists in the mainstream churches based on mistaken belief in the Bible as God's word instead of Christ. This is another example of you accusing others of what you do:

Remember your own words, expatCA?

That is sad . . . because we do agree on much . . . but your insistence on the corruption of a 100% inerrant and infallible Bible rejects the New Covenant and God's promise to "write in our hearts" so we would not need anyone to teach us. And it rejects Christ's Holy Spirit (Comforter) as guide to what is in our hearts because you OVERRULE what is in your heart by what is "written in ink." That is a recipe for disaster, my brother. You negate the power of the Spirit by overriding it with the Bible.

Knowing the prince of peace gives you peace. Quoting the bible does not bring peace, and anyone who condemns the world for being the world does not have peace but is moved by what they see.
