Now try to follow . . . God IS Spirit. God IS agape love. Get it???

So the spirit of love, power and a sound mind is what we have received and the love of God is Agape.
Of course I was not expecting you to show it to me since you did not make the claim. I was looking to see if one could support their claim or not. I can almost agree with the statement but I am not comfortable in my spirit with it and am trying to get at what is meant by the poster. But thanks for trying to help.

I am just trying to see exactly what you mean and if you can support your claim. So maybe you have answered my question after all. Thanks.

If you cannot see it in what I presented you are either not willing or unable to engage in reasoning. That usually indicates unreasoning credulity . . . and that cannot be reasoned with.

Why all the anger and rage from you? You don't have to put down everyone that does not bow to your way of thinking. God loves you and that alone should make you happy. Don't treat God's children so rudely. He is not happy when we do that. Cheer up and have a blessed day in Christ Jesus!

I can see why you ask, because the wording suggests love is their god.
