2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
JN 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
You are not rightly dividing here. These scriptures are in reference to the BRETHREN. Are we to LOVE, Jim Jones, Marshall Applegate, and other decievers who took the simple, and used them for their own benefit?
Pauls desire is that, believers hearts would be knit together in love Col 2:2
ARE THESE VERSES NOT TALKING OF THE BRETHREN?
1 Jn 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light
1 Jn 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
DONT FORGET THE TRUTH, IT IS GOOD TO HAVE A LOVING SPIRIT BUT NEVER AT THE EXPENSE OF TRUTH! WE MUST WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT & IN TRUTH!
2 Jn 1:1-2 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love IN the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
THE BIBLE DOCTRINE OF SEPARATION DEMANDS THAT WE NOT ASSOCIATE WITH EVILDOERS
Ps 26:3-5 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
WHERE IS THE LOVE IN THE ABOVE VERSE & THE NEXT?
PS 139:21-22 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
WHERE IS GOD'S LOVE?
Hosea 9:4 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
Reprove: To find & express fault, censure severely or angrily.
Contend: To strive in controversy or debate; dispute.
How does one LOVINGLY REPROVE?
SEPARATE & REPROVE
Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Tim 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
HOW DO YOU LOVINGLY CONTEND & WHY WAS PAUL CONTENTIOUS?
Prov 28:4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
Jude 1:3 ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
1 Thes 2:2 we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
ECC 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Try to be a well balanced christian! All love is just as out of balance as all rebuke. There is a time and place for everything.
IF THIS VERSE FITS WEAR IT!
Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith

DaveH was trying to stay with the Bible until some of you began
overloading everyone with Mormon doctrine/trivia which has now
become overwhelming .. We still don't know where DavH stands.
Can we stay with scripture and leave off accusations and jokes and
barbed comments re wives/underwear etc? We don't have to respect
the Mormon structure but we can at least treat the ppl with some
civility if we are incapable of love.

WHAT??? Wait just one minute here�I thought this was a Christian board?
Miller did you know about this multiple wife guy? Does this person take
this Mormon doctrine to the letter�??�.next you are going to tell me
about tall Quaker type people living on the moon?
Ruben, I suspect DaveH has multiple pairs of mormon underwear, but he
has never breathed a word about multiple wives! (Could it be?) Izzy
Ruben:
Has there been anything said about multiple PERSONALITIES?
What have I gotten myself into with this group???
Does Dave go by �Legion?�
