Is your will/desire to LOVE GOD or to 'MARCH PROPERLY' as a 'bible bookster' (fan of Christ)?

I haven't gotten to see all of the video yet (I have dial-up, it'll take about 45 min. to download and then I can comment more fully).

Do you have to be forced/commanded to do what is right?

Do you care about God's WILL/desires, His WANTS/wishes, His likes and dislikes?.....or only what He tells the people who are naturally rebellious?

If you truly love Him with all your heart, all of your mind, all of your soul, and all of your strength, then there really will be no room left in you for the FEAR of Him.....

Mark 12:30
"ALL"....(no room left for fear).

Unbelievers should learn to fear not having God in their lives (it is the BEGINNING of wisdom), but once we come to know Him, our love should be made PERFECT (He is not a punisher)....

1 John 4:18
"perfect love casts out fear".

We CAN know God in a more friendly way (it is each person's own choice whether they want to or not) and know Him as "Abba Father" instead of "master"/taskmaster....

James 2:23
"called the FRIEND of God".

Galatians 4:6
"Abba Father".

There have ALWAYS, always been many misunderstandings about our wonderful loving creator. Jesus never used the word "Christian". Some people say He never gave us a name at all, but that's not true....

A Roman official was talking to Paul about Paul's devotion to Jesus in the next verse......

Acts 24:22
"But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of THE WAY....".

It was in Antioch that true devotion became 'Romanized' by pagans (Acts 11:26).

....Jesus said "I am THE WAY..." (John 14:6).

Jesus abolished the law of commandments and the law of rules/ordinances so we could live the law of liberty (there are no rules to the perfect law, our spirit of righteousness......new man, new creation.....is supposed to guide us to be holy and true)......

Ephesians 2:15
"by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances".

James 1:25
"PERFECT law".

James 2:12
"So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty".....(do you want to be one of those?).


There is much more to be understood about the "depths of God" (1 Corinthians 2:10), but you first have to have a LOVE DEVOTION instead of a BOOK DEVOTION and care about God's WILL/desires, wants, likes and dislikes instead of what He tells the rebellious about having to FORCE themselves to be peaceful and just.

You seem to care greatly (the world's lies have upset you).

Have a "more excellent" devotion that is not based on the simple ability to believe something, but is based on "the greatest of these".......

1 Corinthians 12:31
"And now I will show you a MORE EXCELLENT way".

1 Corinthians 13:13
"faith, hope and love, abide....but the GREATEST of these is LOVE".

God is LOVE (a love devotion changes the whole picture).

So, don't get upset by all the lies you hear, the strong delusion is NOT a FUTURE event, it has always been available for all the prideful who prefer the strongholds (idols) of this world to the gracious gifts of our Lord. God has hidden His truths and reserved them as a special gift for those who dearly love Him......

Ezekiel 14:3
"should I let myself be inquired of at all by them?".

Verses from RSV.
