Is God really Love or just loving?
By Semere @ 10:44 AM :: 423 Views :: 8 Comments :: :: Love, Spiritual Maturity
 

A while back I was typing on MS Word and part of what I typed was a verse from 1 John Chapter 1 that says “God is Love”.  At the end I had to run my document through a spelling and grammar check.  The computer stopped me where it says “God is love”.   It didn’t like it.  Instead, it suggested “God is loving”.

 

Now, that was an actual Bible verse but it did not make grammatical sense to MS Word.  So I had to choose between the Bible and MS Word.  I definitely chose the Bible. 

 

This is a very simplified yet very good example of what happens everyday in our lives.  The world always offers ideas, explanations and solutions that make logical sense and are very tempting but are contrary to the Word of God.  Do you know that logical doesn’t always mean true?  Yes, logic is a means by which we test the truth but it is a very limited tool.  If you use it without knowing its limitations, it can be disastrous.  The truth is that something can be utterly logical and utterly false at the same time or vice versa. 

 

Knowing the limits of your logic, your understanding and your intellect is a very important logical step.

 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Pr 3:5

We had discussion about yesterday about the responsibilities of man and woman at dinner place. All the girls were trying to define the bible logically. At last i was saying we should accept the word of God "Endewerede" as Wongelawi Mesfin said. It is so true that we all try define the bible in our ways..that makes more sense for us or more logical for us or more flexible for us..

Bless you addisu,even though I was not there to agree or disagree the reality is that we should take the word of God as it is. nevertheless when we start to put things to our convinence then it will be our our own words than words from God.I am afraid we do that the whole time though, we try to Compromise actions and words ------

I really like the devotional. There are times when I fight with logic and the word of God, but after all logic is not more reasonable than God's word. I may not understand the reason why with my little mind but I know that God has the full answer for all things that seems controversial. Especially in these days the world presents u things that seems more logical but when u see the word of God they are against it. So we should be take care of such things! Blessings!
