BIBLE AND THEOLOGY FORUM





Welcome!  You are at BibleAndTheology.com, which is the general forum for BibleAndTheology.org.  Persons are invited to post on Bible and Theology (widely interpreted).  Some postings may be chosen to be reposted on BibleAndTheology.org.  Give & receive love here. If you post here, please do not use "Anonymous" or the like. Choose your own screen names, but do not use one that you know is already being used by someone else. Please: 

1. You may debate with any ideas posted, but do not post objections to the topic, style, spelling, use of capital letters, or grammar of anyone's posting.  For example, you may debate whether the moon is made of green cheese, but kindly refrain from reviling a poster by telling him that it is politically incorrect to discuss green cheese.   

2. Do not post complaints or attacks vs. other posters.  

3. No obscene language,cuss words, or blasphemy may be used.   

4. Send complaints privately by e-mail to NellPatKay@hotmail.com.  If your posting is deleted, it could be because it violates forum rules or is just chosen for a short run on the forum.

THE LOVE OF GOD; THE LOVE OF CHRIST CONSTRAINS YOU

Passages that teach or illustrate God's love will be posted below. The purpose is
(1) to enhance the worship of God as we appreciate Who and What He is and
(2) to be transformed as we do this (from the old morphe to the new morphe).
Christians have an old morphe (or old man, flesh) and a new morphe modeled after Christ. A transformation stands between the old and the new. (See 2 Cor 3:18 and Romans 12:1-2). Transformation occurs as we behold as in a mirror the Glory of God, which includes His love. The love of Christ constrains us.

THE LOVE OF GOD
The love of Christ constrains us
(2 Cor 5:14)


THE BOOK OF JOSHUA

1:2 Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore,
arise, go over this Jordan, you= and all this people, unto

the land which I give to them, even to the Children of Israel. 1:3
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you* I have given it,

as I spoke unto Moses.

The Lord is most generous. He has promised to give us all things freely: He Who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? (end of Romans 8)
In that the text says, “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon,” one suspects that we Christians might fail to receive something the Lord wishes to give us for failure of treading the foot on it.
