Originally posted by RBHILLThe milk of the word of God is truth but it is not sufficient for eternal life. The milk is knowledge, it is hearing of the word of God and undertanding the word of God. It also includes a profession of faith. But Paul said it is not enough. Meat needs to be added so that righteous living and good works can enter the Christians life.
The Milk of the Word is still truth.

Maybe you should have a read of the teachings of Christ so that you can get a better grasp of what Christ means by love. I think you are using the term incorrectly
Dive has issues loving his fellow man, on the forums anyway.

Originally posted by chaney3As an example, Christ did say to walk away from certain people, dont bother to teach them anything, and have nothing to do with them. Now you might interpret that to be contrary to 'love'. The love that Christ demands from his followers is brotherly love or compassion for the needy.

Who are these "certain people" that you should walk away from?
Seems a little harsh.
Edit: and have nothing to do with them? This does not seem very Jesus like. Are you certain about this?

Originally posted by Rajk999The problem here, of course, is that you assume these people to be mainly other Christians, towards whom Jesus said you should show love. But instead, you judge them, and attack them. and turn your back on them (except for yourself, of course, who clearly has the answer to everything and are therefore justified in haranguing them (in your assuming, twisted, pre-judging view)).

Originally posted by SuzianneYou aim all this stuff at Christians like Rajk999 and divegeester, I see, but, tell me, does any of this apply to you too? You seem inclined to do quite a bit of judging and attacking and haranguing yourself. Aren't you worried that people might notice?
