Greetings to all,

The time what we are living now is time of heresy. and I exhort you all in Lord Jesus Christ to be careful, cause all that heresy.

Do not take in you a strange way, to serve our Lord, but stay to those doctrines what you find in the Bible, what the Apostles, our dear brother's teach to as. Keep that.

Be blameless, and have love for everybody, but do not walk they wrong ways, instead stay in Lord, and you stay in Life.

Do not say condemnation to anyone, but have mercy, and hope sincerely, that the others still turn to our Lord and be saved. Hope to others like you hope your self to happen.

And the end. May God Almighty bless you all in our Lord Jesus Christ. Honor to him, and honor to God Almighty forever and ever. Amen.

Sincerely to you all

Mikko Ainasoja

Lord Jesus Christ´s and Father Almighty´s servant

The time of heresy has always been "now". People have always thought it was their duty to convince everyone that God hates, that God condemns, that God's wrath will be upon us for all eternity if we don't believe the right things or do the right things,

rather than that God is love, that God forgives, that God is for us, not against us and that none of us are far from God.

Wow! - Is that really what you thought the OP said? ... Or is this just a parody of what you think some people believe and say ... that helps justify ignoring the things God really did say?

"...God is love, that God forgives, that God is for us, not against us and that none of us are far from God." -- Of course this is the truth, but, it is totally irrelevant if no response from man is necessary. Therein lies the heresy of proclaiming "God is love ... and nothing else is necessary."

Walk in the light and love of God; and you won't be hindered by the darkness.

if one has to add other conditions to Gods love, then mercy does not eventually triumph over judgement.

The heresy is to believe there is something else necessary.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. What else is necessary ?.

To love your neighbor as yourself requires taking up our cross daily and denying self (the old carnal way of thinking))and in time as we practice this we will have died to self and be left transformed by the renewal of the mind.

You correctly quoted Pleroo and then you add your own little ending that was NOT said. Why??? There is no free lunch. We reap what we sow. Violating God's laws (physical or spiritual) has negative consequences. What is it that you think is missing???

Agape love places far more restrictions on our selfishness than any Ten commandments or 613 mitzvot ever could. Those who doubt it should actually try it daily.

I need to spread the love before I can rep you again, but I liked this post. Love your neighbor as yourself. How difficult can it be to get the message?

I used to think that. But no more. We are actually in the kingdom age. Every night Christians all over the world have said the Lord's prayer, they were ushering in the kingdom age which was God's plans. He will prevail in these days whether man wants him to or not. There will be supernatural miracles and sights all over the planet. This is the greatest times to live in as a Christian. Not the worst.

So glad to hear you say this, Allen! Things look very dark, but the true Light is shining in the darkness.
