The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Questioning God’s Greatest Commandment

1. God is not "OK" with any imperfection.

2. No creature can "bring glory to God", as if to suggest that somehow without man exerting some effort God would be lacking, since He is already perfectly glorified by and in Himself. Do you know the term "aseity"?

3. Glorifying God isn't adding anything to God whatsoever. The phrase simply means to emulate God in everything which He has revealed to man, aka: prescriptive will, as man is capable of doing.

4. In this life you will not and cannot EVER "love God perfectly" even for a nano second. You are deluded if you think you can or that it is even theoretically possible. Why? Because you are a sinner and there isn't one single thought, word or deed that you do that is even remotely perfect. However, the LORD Christ was absolutely perfect and glorified God in the true sense (Jh 1:14; 2Cor 4:6; Col 1:1-19; Heb 1:1-3).

5. Remember, what God holds you responsible to do does not necessarily equate with the ability to do it. Do you understand the concept of Christ's imputed active obedience? and it's absolute necessity that a person have this in order to be saved from the eternal wrath of God?

6. Lastly, "love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and love your neighbor as yourself" is a SUMMARY of the Ten Commandments. Love is the motive that must underlie the doing/obedience of the commandments. I have written to you about this in the past. Love, does not stand alone but must be expressed. And that expression (duty) must be in complete accord with God's law and revealed will. And this is summed up in "Be ye holy," for God is holy (Lev 20:7; Isa 6:3; 1Pet 1:15, 16).
