Indeed.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
So, where in 1 cor 13 does it say God is bound to this expectation of love?
Paul is Clearly speaking to the people of Corinth about the "Love your neighbor as your self" command and how this trumps all other Spiritual gifts... In order for your arguement to work you must show that what Paul says to us, applies to God.
Let's cut to the chase, Drich. What you appear to be saying is that "jealousy" is not a property of love as it applies to us, but it could be when applied to your god, who is not described as possessing love, but rather BEING love?
Seriously? And you guys wonder why we say you can make the damn book say anything you want it to.
Ah, no. What I am saying we do not have the right to be jealous, as God has the right to be jealous. For the word being discussed in the Hebrew text is: quanna'. Its used of God bearing no rivals. As in the first commandment. 'You shall not have any gods before me.' None of us has the power or the authority to make such a decree. He does, and His righteous anger that stems from man having 'other gods' before Him is simply translated as 'jealous' when it means a little more than the jealousy we feel. Which is what Paul was telling the corthinians.

My interest in brakemans story has nothing to do with the truth, I just want to see if he can prove it. If he can't prove it then by the same measure you all use against God, then i declare he is a fool for believing in it despite how accurate his version of the story is.(August 22, 2013 at 10:13 am)Drich Wrote:
Of course there is no proof! Why would there be??
The only reason I asked you for proof is because you have a history of saying whatever you need to say, no matter if it is true or not. I just wanted to see what you would come up with to explain yourself this time.
I've learned from experience that someone who takes pains to correct their mistakes tends to be honest in general and someone quick to judge someone a liar is usually a liar themselves.
If Brakeman's story is true, where do you suppose Danny Shumate is right now?
