He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

1 John 4:8 — King James Version

 

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:8 — New International Version

 

Because God is love, and everyone who does not love does not know God.

1 John 4:8 — Aramaic Bible in Plain English

 

“…For God is love.”
Does love want robotic forced actions? Does love want pretend?

Not real love and if anything or anyone wants robotic forced actions or pretend they do not know what love, real love is.

For human beings they think of love as giving of themselves emotionally, of allowing trust to form. Letting down barriers. Of allowing someone to come close to them. Sometimes very, very close. Almost all humans in order to feel and know and express love they do so conditionally. We usually love someone that shows us kindness, loves us back, is gentle, trusting, a friend who has our back and knows us well. A family member we can’t think of living without. The love of a wife and a husband — in true love as it is meant to be, not as it has become corrupted by so many to mean.

Do we want our loved ones, our friends, our brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, wives, husbands — do we want the people we feel compassion and love for to respond to us out of robotic obligation? Do we think we can demand love?

No! Heaven forbid!

Because as a person aware and knowing we know to think or act in such a manner is not what love really is.

Love must be given of free will, of a desirous heart and mind, a trusting, faithful heart and mind. Given out of respect and care.

Now that is human love as we know it.

Now try to imagine the love of the All-Mighty, All-Knowing, All-Powerful, All-loving Spirit Who is the most powerful Being in the universe, the Creator. Try to imagine His love for His created.

Not created puppets and robots. Man and woman created out of love to be in perfect companionship, in perfect communion, in perfect friendship with God before woman and man decided of their own free will to be disobedient to the one commandment given to them — only one commandment given in the perfect world Adam and Eve inhabited.

Not robots — not puppets having their strings pulled.

Only unbelievers and immature professed believers are of the mind they are robots or puppets and God is pulling their strings or forcing their actions and thoughts and behaviors. Only the ignorant believe such falsehood as God created and wants robots and puppets and we are nothing more than pawns on a game board, or for His amusement.

 

Perfection and communion prior to the fall of man; the fall of man…

The sixth day: the creation of man [also see Genesis 2:7 — Genesis 2:21-23]

 

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 1:26-31 — King James Version

 

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 2:7-25 — King James Version

 

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Genesis 3:8-24 — King James Version

 

How can any person reading the word of God come to the conclusion God wants robots and puppets? Do we read and discern wisely? Do we read in the right heart and mind expecting the truth to be revealed to us, or do we read with unbelief?

God created PERFECTION for His FRIENDS man and woman. God created woman to help man. God had compassion on man and created him a help-mate and someone to go through life with in love. All the attributes of perfect love prior to the fall of man and woman.

God has no part in sin or evil.

God created man, woman, and the angels with free will. Every man, woman, child chooses what course they will take. What they will say or do. Each man, woman, and child has self-will which is opposed to the worship and honor of God the Father.

God created for us perfection to give us eternal life in a perfect world where weeds did not even grow, and certain pains were not even thought of until after the disobedience of man towards God the Father.

Love is not turning ones back and allowing anything and everything. Giving everything without consequences and accountability.

Love is not turning a blind eye and always agreeing or saying yes even when we know the correct response ought to be no.

Love deals in discipline and chastisement for going astray.

God created us out of love. God was not only our Creator, our Father — God was in the perfection of the Garden of Eden our COMPANION.

And we choose to create enmity, to create the gulf, the great divide between God and us and we sinned.

Since we choose to disobey and sin, and God can have no part in sin or evil — we have done everything to ourselves — yet we have the gall, the arrogance, the ignorance, the foolishness to blame God and then proclaim we are nothing but robots or puppets and God pulls our strings and moves us about as if we are merely pieces on a game board!

Do we truly read and pray upon and discern well and wisely the inerrant word of God!?

Do we really!?

For if we read the Bible and still contend God wants robots and puppets those proclaiming they are reading the Bible and coming to such an errant conclusion surely are ignorant, blind, and foolish and do not comprehend that which their eyes see and clearly cannot interpret wisely with understanding the words they are reading!

God is love.

Love unlike anything any human mind or heart or spirit or soul are capable of comprehending the depth and quality of —

here’s a clue for anyone still not getting this and still thinking God wants robots and puppets and not discerning wisely —

God came to earth in the form of man, as prophesized throughout the Bible He would. God of the lineage of King David, born of the virgin, a Nazarene, a man, yet God. To live, to teach, to show us the life and the way. To sacrifice Himself — to literally come to this earth sinless, blameless, pure, and to take on flesh and know temptation yet never sin — to come knowing He was going to be the Sacrificial Passover Lamb for the sins of all people, as the only way — the ONLY WAY to salvation and eternal life! He came to this earth — God came to this earth to live as a man, to die on a tree, to be pierced and shed His precious pure sinless blood — to die for us, to be buried, to RISE on the third day fulfilling the promise!

And He came willingly. And He died willingly for our sakes.

Giving each person the choice, the opportunity to come to Him, to seek Him, to fall in love with Him and make Him Lord of their lives. To obey Him. To honor Him. Not out of being a robot.

Out of love — out of joy and awareness — out of love and joy and appreciation for His sacrifice for our sake!

We do what we do out of love and trust.

Yet our love, no matter how great — cannot match the love He has for us!

Robotic? Puppets?

Where have you been people!!!? What are you reading and comprehending!!!?
