If your religion has not saved you from hating others, whoever the others may be, it hasn’t saved you at all. If God just happens to hate all the same people you hate, that’s not God, it’s you projecting yourself onto God. 1 John 4:20
@Abhii_Malhotra @guilty_ayo @GadgetsBoy I'll give you one scenario, my blind dad. He has always been a techie and types pretty fast on a laptop keyboard, typing on a screen it's always slower for him even with the latests accessibility features.
“God is love” (1John 4:8), therefore God is infinitely merciful. Mercy is a dimension of love.
God is love, therefore God is infinitely just. Justice is a dimension of love.
God is love, therefore God is patient. Patience is a dimension of love.
God is love, therefore God is humble. Humility is a dimension of love.
God is love, therefore God is kind. Kindness is a dimension of love.
God is love, therefore God is generous. Generosity is a dimension of love.
God is love, therefore God is relationally faithful. Faithfulness is a dimension of love.
Everything that is true of God, is true of God, because, and precisely because, God is love. All good and beautiful attributes of personhood are present in God in perfect synthesis and equilibrium, each one contributing to the totality of God’s character and together composing the whole reality of who God is.
@tyfgibson Thank you for posting it!
I’ve heard several interpretations in Adventist circles, each has its own origins and implications. I may as well add that each one carries a different view of God. Do you know if someone has made such comparison?
@Matias_F_R@sebafer07 De otra forma podría ser estar queriendo decir: “sin buscar la justicia no caminarán hacia mi reino, porque es un componente fundamental de este.”
Persigamos el amor y su justicia (la del amor).
@Matias_F_R@sebafer07 Jesús lo describe de manera perfecta al detallar el camino que deben seguir sus discípulos. “En primer lugar, busquen el reino de los cielos y su justicia”. Allí declara que la justicia no es un concepto que deba ser yuxtapuesto a su carácter.
@Matias_F_R@sebafer07 No obstante, ya siendo parte de su carácter, el aspecto de la justicia necesita ser resaltado por la tendencia del ser humano a lo contrario.
