Agape love for God and each other - he says it many, many times.God IS Spirit. God IS agape love. What is higher than agape love who IS God????
Her claim of a higher form is vacuous. She cannot even describe the Spirit she claims to have within her, let alone establish that it is a higher form than the agape love Jesus revealed and unambiguously demonstrated.
Amen. How can you love a God you cannot see if you don't first love your fellow humans that you can see????

And you still pretend you know what I do or do not have even though you cannot describe what it is you THINK you have that I don't!!!

Whatever you think you know--however many prophecies and great insights you think you have--they are nothing and cannot witness to any good thing until love becomes the center of your life. Your own spiritual life cannot advance regardless of what mystical things you may have seen until it is completely, thoroughly, and permanently the basis of all your thoughts and actions.

Absolutely powerful post, Warden. you are my favorite Christian preacher!!!

When it's the basis of all yours, get back with me. Peace
You and SO many seem to think it is about RULES when it is about a way of life in relationship to God and man based on that "love" that Jesus taught. It is about a COMMITMENT to community.
My advice to the world---Learn and apply all that Jesus taught. Jesus did not come here to teach all he did so that mortals can pick and choose--all who do will lose. Jesus taught---Man does not live by bread alone but by every utterance from God= OT-NT--years of going over and over it one still learns new utterances. How many bother?

ONLY the ones who "pore over the Scriptures because (they) presume that by them (they) possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, 40yet (they) refuse to come to Me to have life.…

It isn't the basis of all mine. I'm a sinner like you. The difference is that I recognize my sin and concentrate on it rather than spend a lot of time on mystical ideas like the "tabernacle."
More than that--even if Satan were to preach the truth souls would be won! Call me Satan, I don't care--too often I have been--but I know what is spiritual truth---and so do a lot of others whom you dismiss as lesser than you.
When people realize they are sinners and that GOD is their rescuer they count everything but the love of God as nothing at all.
Now I live and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take Loved and forgiven, backed with a living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace
How could I boast on anything
I've ever seen or done?
How could I dare to claim as mine
The victories God has won?
And once I was forgiven, it took me some years to see that the overriding message of Jesus was the love of God. Billy Graham spent a lot of time preaching on that very subject.

You're bound to get there someday, however, you might need different teachers.
