I still need refining,I'll be the first to admit , but that does not mean I ever lose my way.

Originally posted by @karoly-aczelYou hate some people and this is good enough for you. You can’t love God if you hate people!

I can't love God?? WTF are you on about? You have no idea about me,as much as I try to simplify it for you
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Originally posted by @karoly-aczelYou are the one that said you hated, just a little FYI.
The question was for Kelly
The thing is even if you don't accept God, He remains God nonetheless, and you are not.

we are all gods...of course powers that be wouldn't tell you this.they want to keep you in check.No one is above the Lord however
Psalm 82:5-7 English Standard Version (ESV)
5
They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6
I said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7
nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”
John 10:34
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

So I ask again: what does it mean to accept Jesus as yourLord? (briefly this time,I dont want a sermon)
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
It's exclusive. Not Vishnu. Not Buddha. Not Mohammed. Not anyone else. One WAY. Jesus is the only one that died and was resurrected.
1 John 5:12
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Believe that and Jesus will be your Lord. Don't believe that and you will not have eternal life.
Argue against that all you want. It won't change the truth.

Beli ...[text shortened]... d you will not have eternal life.

Jesus is the way means you have to follow His commandments
Jesus is the truth means that his words and commandments are truth and they must be followed
Jesus is the life means that in order to get eternal life one must follow the commandments.
Who has both the Father and the Son are those who keep the commandments.
Who God and Christ makes their abode in are those who keep the commandments.
Keeping the commandments is the key to eternal life. But it is the one thing which the church denies. Failure to follow the commandments means no eternal life in the Kingdom of God
And he said unto him, .. if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matthew 19:17 KJV)
