What can love do?

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Jesus is love --
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John+4%3A10

Jesus came to the Earth to set us free from judgment.
Because of this, He is the way, truth, and the life --
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14:6

-----
Love saves a sinful man from judgment before God.
Love takes a wretched man and transforms him into a servant of God.
Love take a sinful past and brings it forth as a witness unto others
of the saving grace in Christ, and that the transformation is real.

-----
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love does not envy.
Love does not boast.
Love is not [excessively] proud.
Love does not dishonor others.
Love is not self-seeking.
Love is not easily angered.
Love keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil.
Love rejoices in truth.
Love always protects.
Love always trusts.
Love always hopes.
Love always perseveres.

Love never fails.

-----
Love can do all things ... and did all things for us at the
cross.

Love has a name.
Love's name is Jesus Christ.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

We are powerful creations. When we move, it is for real, be it
toward falseness, or toward truth. God has given us the true
power and authority to make our own choices.

In those choices, God asks us to put Him to the test. He says
to try Him, to test Him and see, to prove Him out. He makes
claims that if we will put our faith and trust in Him we can
see Him working in our lives in ways we can truly understand.

You can test these words out and see by asking God to prove
to you in a way you can understand. You must be willing to
receive it when the proof comes, by the way. You can't just
parrot the words, "Okay God ... Rick said to ask You this, so
I'm asking. Looking for that proof he says You'll bring.
So, whenever You're ready."

If you want to test Him out, approach Him like this: "God, I
honestly don't know if you're real or not. But if you are
real, if Jesus did die for my sins to save me, I want to know
the truth. I don't want lies, and I don't want to guess. I
want to know."

If you can approach Him in that way, He'll give you the proof
you require in a way you'll be able to uniquely identify.

Everything you say is predicated on your belief that the Bible is true.

Well consider this:

Assumption #1: Genesis creation story is a myth/allegory and Adam and
Eve are a fiction.
Assumption #2: Jesus Christ (either biblical or historical) existed.

The Bible (Old and New Testaments) describe the genealogy of Jesus
Christ all the way from Joseph and Mary back to Adam and Eve. Given our
two assumptions at what point does this 50-generation genealogy
transition from fact to fiction and what is the proof of this transition?

IMO the entire genealogy is suspect and assumption #2 is bogus. There
is no evidence contemporary to Christ's existence of his existence: it
all came out in the latter part of the first century in writings from
the likes of Josephus and Tacitus a significant time after Jesus's
supposed death. The Gospels themselves are complete hearsay which
wouldn't hold water as evidence in a court of law.

If you now claim that assumption #1 is false despite all the evidence to
the contrary (e.g. weathering of the Grand Canyon, fossils confirming
evolution and evolutionary time scales) then you really are beyond help
as nothing can be done to mitigate such obtuse stupidity.

To my fellow "Usenet group"ies:

I come before you today with a request for each of you. I ask
you to give it an ear and ponder it in your heart. Consider it
for a time each day and think about what it means to the baseline
fundamental views we hold in our lives.

-----
My request is that you consider what this means to your self-
image: You were created. You do have a purpose. You were not
an accident of random chance in this universe. You were, instead,
specifically and purposefully hand-crafted by God, hand-placed
into this world where you are, with a purpose to have a real im-
pact upon this world. To further realize that within the creation
of your existence, the one creating you had a real purpose in do
doing. God created you with a goal of certain things He wants you
to do in this world, for example.

Think about this idea: That you were created, that you do have a
real purpose, and that you will go on after you leave this world,
and that you do have a choice today regarding how you will live
your life, and that the warning given you by your very creator is
that there is a real enemy here in this world, responsible for all
that we see wrong here, who seeks to mislead you, trick you, trap
you, and ultimately destroy your soul by leading you away from God,
but if you will give God an ear, and stop hardening your heart
toward Him, that He will guide you not only to safety in this world,
but to the fullest, richest prosperity in Him.

Think about this. Read it a few times. Make sure you get a clear
understanding: You were created specifically by God. You have a
real purpose, and there are two paths before you: one leading to
forgiveness for the wrong you've done, to be a part of God's plan
for your life, one that keeps you unforgiven in the wrong you've
done and is leading away from God and God's plan for your life.

-----
God created you for greatness. He loves you. He will lead and
guide and protect and save you from all evil. But He also honors
you too much to violate His greatest gift to you: your volition.
He will not violate your free will to choose. But look into Him
and see how He's revealed Himself through His Son. The Bible
gives us a view of God that explains things in a way which really
resonates on the inside if you're willing to receive it. But if
you harden your heart, it will always only be a book of laughable
tales and fantasies.

The choice is yours, but the truth speaks to you. You were God's
creation. You were made special. You do have a purpose. And
you will go on after you leave this world. God has a plan for you
and will save you from everything bad, and give you a real and
secure future that dwells in fullest, richest prosperity for you,
His beloved and held dear, most special creation.
