Where there is no love there is no relationship.
There is no doubt that this is the underlying principle that motivated Jonathan's posting (for example).
jt: Underlying principle? There was no rhyme or reason, let alone principle to any of that John..Surely this is not an example of the method you might use to try and encourage ppl back to spiritualand emotional health is it? IMO Jonathan sounded like a troubled soul full of anger -However,
none of you speak of meeting the standard set by Jesus which is "If you love me you will do what I say"
You see, Judy, this is exactly "our" complaint. This assertion, on your part, has nothing to do withhonest debate and everything to do with judgmentatlism --jt: What is there to debate? It is a command given by Jesus, one either does it or they don'tyou making a judgment about the relationship of others to Christ.jt: No accusation John. Just an observation that none of you talk about these things, in fact someare so offended as to call it "dropping scripture bombs" so it is not the savour of life to them.It is accusatory in content and demands a waste of time on the part of those who might feel theneed the correct this damning opinion. I feel no such compulsion. Johnjt: What damning opinion? judyt
