This is true but there is much more to it than just love

Read the verse I just quoted in my last post………. Jesus is the way THE TRUTH and the Life

Get it?
Love is not just a verb, do you get that?

Persons focussed only on love but overlook truth... <snipped>
Are you under the impression that love does not encompass truth or is at odds with truth?

Persons focussed only on love but overlook truth are the cause of sin in the church that results in God turning His back on the church such as not answering their prayers to heal those in need of a miracle

Love alone allows same sex marriages in the church but knowledge of the truth prohibits same sex marriages
The truth is not the bible. The truth is the one who said I AM. It is not difficult. What do you see when you see Jesus Christ?........ I see the exact representation of who God IS and God is Love.

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his BEING. Hebrews 1:3

What God demonstrated on the Cross was not something of himself but what makes him God.

Just a side note, when Jesus said that no man cometh unto the father but by him, he was speaking as the alter of incense standing before the throne. No man may get passed the veil unless he first offers the incense on the alter of incense, and the alter offers up your prayers through him.


I am the way, the outer court entrance to where all people come.
I am the truth, the entrance into the Holy place.


But if anyone wants to go into the Holy of Holies, then he has to offer his incense to the alter and the alter lifts yours prayers to God.


That veil that was rent in two was the last entrance, ,'' The life.''


That veil is a veil of a virgin and the uterus is right behind it and there is the life where a person is born again.

Truth is how love is implemented. If it does not implement love, it is NOT truth.

Agape is concern for the well-being of others. The love of Christ shows the highest degree of that love, but all such concern is agape.

What is it about LOVE that creates such FEAR in your heart? Is it because the concept is so simple, yet so revealing at the same time?

Is it because when we LOVE we are OPEN and vulnerable to others? LOVE makes us available to others insults, others suspicions, and to others ridiculing us?

Amen!! All those "if you have not agape love . . ." verses should have made that abundantly clear to anyone who actually studied to show themselves approved instead of reading, memorizing and blindly accepting whatever is in the Bible without testing the Spirit against the Spirit of agape love (Who IS God).
