God loved us (that is a general us). God does not even know you unless you obey Him.
1 Corinthians 8:3 But the man who loves God is known by God.
Galatians 4:9 But now that you know God--or rather are known by God--how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
Do you not understand that?
YOU are NOT even KNOWN by God unless YOU love God, and we who obey God are the ones who love Him. That is what the scriptures say.
1 John 5:3 This is love for God: to obey his commands.
John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command.
Eph. 2:8-9 parallel with Titus 3:5 on good works

he chose to save me in jesus, and showed His love by having His Son die in my place on Cross...
Love like that is ONLY of God, He loves me regardless of my behaviour!
he wants me to obey Him, and gave me his Spriti to empower me, but thank God even when I fail or fall he still loves the same! -
The Bible teaches:
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1. There are not good works involved in calling on the name of the Lord.
2. There is no act of being sorry for one's sins in "calling on the name of the Lord."
To say that one must do good works, and be sorry for their sins in order to be saved is just as good as saying that the blood of Christ was not sufficient enough to pay for the penalty of our sins.
It is to say that you had to help Jesus pay for our sins by doing good. Your good helped pay the penalty of our sins. That is a blasphemous theology Moriah.
Salvation is by faith. It is the gift of God, not of works, not of any kind of works--good works, works of the law, works of Mother Theresa, works of Moriah, not any kind or, or any person's works, not any works whatsoever. Salvation is not of works.
Salvation is by grace through faith.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God. (Rom.5:1)
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. -
In addition, are you claiming to be a prophet?
-
The Lord loves me SAME regardless of me sinning or not, its just that I should be obeying the Lord should be applying his word, does NOT make Him love me more, but allows me to mature and be more like jesus!Click to expand...

You don't obey the commands of Jesus yourself. That makes you a hypocrite! You tell others that they must obey the commands of Jesus but you won't even obey them. Don't you think that is hypocritical? "Do what I say; not as I do," philosophy?
The rich young ruler came to Jesus, asking, "What must I do to have eternal life?" Okay, not Jesus is going to tell him how to have, how to obtain eternal life, so listen carefully. Here is the command you must follow:
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
That is what you must do to have eternal life, Moriah.
Have you sold all that you have?
Have you given it to the poor?
Have you taken up your cross (an instrument of execution or death)?
Have you followed Jesus (wherever he has told you to go)?
Have you?
For what price did you receive when you sold all your goods? What was the value?
What charitable organization did you give all the proceeds? How did you give it all away?
In what manner have you taken up your cross and followed Jesus?
I await your testimony.
He that forsakes not all that he has cannot be my disciple.

You have proven that you do not know Jesus when you do not understand that not everyone is rich. Jesus knew the rich man would not give up all for Jesus that he would walk away from God on earth, who was standing in the flesh right in front of him.
If you knew Jesus, then you would know that there are scriptures telling those who are wealthy in this world to share their material possessions. If you knew Jesus, than you would know that the word of God says parents are to save for their children. With your unreasonable false doctrine, no saved parents would have anything to give to their children, and there would be no person with material possessions to share! Again, you have no understanding. -

Jesus did not call Christians hypocrites, only the Pharisees and teachers of the law. You are an accuser of the brethren. I say the Bible says to obey Jesus, and you call me names, and this is debating the truth to you. What evilness to accuse me of not obeying Jesus.Click to expand...
Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
--This is part of the sermon on the mount, delivered to his disciples and directed to Christians.
By accusing me in the way that you just did, you broke the BB rules, falsely accused me, called me Satan, and should earn an infraction for doing so. Stop calling people Satan!! (an accuser of the brethren)
What I said is true. You are a hypocrite. You tell others to keep the commands of Jesus that you yourself cannot keep. Isn't that true? I gave you an example, and you came up with the lame excuse that you weren't rich. That is lame, really lame. You don't have to be rich. Just go and sell all that you have, give to the poor, and go and follow Jesus. Keep his command, not make excuses for not keeping his commands!
You do not understand those scriptures. You try to nullify God’s word by bringing up sins you think I have committed. Jesus says to obey him, he tells us not to sin, but DHK goes against that truth because of sins I may do.Click to expand...
Jesus was speaking to a rich man. I am not rich. Jesus knew that man would not give up his riches to follow him. Jesus knows there is nothing more important to me than Him. Jesus was on earth, in front of the rich man, and the rich man did not give up everything to be with God. You, DHK, have no understanding.Click to expand...
2. Does Jesus also know that you won't give up all that you have?
3. Who in the Bible did Jesus expect any less?
Matthew 4:19: Jesus said unto them, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."
And immediately the left their fishing nets and followed Jesus. That was Peter and Andrew. They left their fishing occupations, family, everything, and went and followed Jesus. They were fishermen.
Matthew 4:21-22 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
--Then James and John left their occupation of fishing. They left everything with their father, and their father in the ship, and followed Jesus.
Matthew 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
--Matthew, a tax-collector, immediately followed Jesus, leaving all of his money on the table.
Luke 21:2-4 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
--Here is a poor widow, someone that really did live in poverty. She gave all that she had. She gave it all. Have you done that?
What are the commands of Christ:
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
These are only some of the commands of Christ. Only the last one is addressed to an unsaved person. Have you obeyed the rest of them? Have you forsaken all and followed Christ?
I have eternal life. You do not know the Truth.Click to expand...
You try to nullify God’s Word by your lack of understanding. You do not even see how flawed your beliefs are. You argue falsely that I should give everything for the poor in order to have eternal life, yet you do not even believe that yourself.Click to expand...
You believe such commands of obedience are necessary for salvation.
I believe such commands of obedience are necessary for discipleship.
You believe that "obedience" is necessary for salvation.
I believe that obedience is a result of salvation.
I can honestly say that I have obeyed these commands, for I have forsaken all that I have, even sold everything, and have followed Jesus, going to another land, leaving everything behind. I have obeyed him. That is what discipleship is all about. It is what the Great Commission is all about. It is the heart of missions.

You accused me of not obeying Jesus. Stop accusing me of sins I did not do. Do you not understand that?

The command of Jesus given to the saved and all disciples of Jesus is:
He that forsakes not all that he has cannot be my disciple.
--That command was not given to a rich man. It is given to you and everyone else. Have you obeyed it? If so, when and how?
You are an accuser is not saying you are Satan, do you really think you can now accuse me of calling you Satan himself?

From henceforth, you will receive an infraction every time you refer to me or any one else on this board as Satan (accuser of the brethren), or any of his other names. Got it?

Did you give up millions of dollars and a mansion for the Lord? Somehow, I doubt that you gave up riches. How is it that you have a computer? Are you borrowing the library's computer, or a friend's computer that you have not talked into giving it up yet? Do you think Jesus said for you to give up everything thing you have, but you can get it back later? Where does not scriptures say that?

You say if obedience is involved then it is a religion of works and is heresy. You speak of a twisted belief.

If anyone disagrees with YOUR intepretation of scripture you charge them with opposing God as you perceive YOUR INTERPRETATION to be God's interpretation of the language and it is beneath you to subject your intepretations to simple rules of hermeneutics.
Hence, the only way to appease you is to bow down to you and gravel at your feet and proclaim you are God's representative on earth for all to take heed and listen and learn from because you have NOTHING to learn from others and have NO ERRORS to be corrected.
Therefore any reasonable discussion is impossible with you. -

You, you, you, you. A post which deserves an infraction. You are not interested in debate. You don't seem to know how to debate. Instead of giving an honest answer you give an accusation instead and everyone on this board can see that, as Biblicist pointed out. When you are ready to debate, take post #52 and answer it again, this time more politely, dignified, and civilized. Act like a Christian should act.Click to expand...

In order to be saved (you say) obey the commands of Jesus.
Here is the command of Jesus:
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Have you obeyed it? If so, when and where? -
