i feel like acultural is a more fitting term since it's more accurate to what the definition is supposed to be and that's that love transcends culture.

@@JT5555 It's transcendent love indeed, but it's "anti- cultural", in the sense that the culture of whatever society practices isn't necessarily respectful of biblical love. Good example would be promiscuity. In modern "culture" it's praised as freedom and bodily independence, but in the Bible it is the very manifestation of a destructive practice that puts people into ruin and is an act tarnishing the concept of love represented by marriage (and marriage is God's design of a loving partnership, which is governed by fidelity and purity, not lust and pleasure). Anything consistently Biblical, surprisingly, considers a big part of cultural practice today as sinful (may it be sleeping around, homosexuality, etc.)

I feel God gave me this revelation today. We are arrogant to try and say what Love is, we that are finite beings can not even come close to fathoming what Love is and trying to redefine it.

Its reciprocal within and without

​@@anonnobody3901 God gives a revelation of love in the Scriptures and in the person of Jesus Christ. We can find the definition of love by studying the Word. How would that be arrogant?

Welcome to Godly love. Worldly love is old news.

AMEN 🙏🏼 Yes, thank you!

Church F ft if f

How wisdom is given when a Christian really studies the word. So many called followers don't know what the Bible states about love but so many things. Thank you Milissa for your discerning spirit because you take the Bible not the world view to understand what God expects from the true believer. Keep up the good work.

You stated that so well. I'm so glad Melissa did this! There ARE people out there genuinely trying to be Christ like. Many churches these days are lacking in those kind of people and I'm so glad you were able to see this here I hope it encourages you

Yes we were just talking about this in Bible study Sunday. Once you goorify one of His attributes more than the other, you created a caricature of God and that is not God but an idol

Stranger In Moscow Preach it! God bless you and your Bible study in your further learning efforts.

Preach. It's not loving to let someone be blissfully deceived.

@@Exayevie well put 💯

" sick and tired" sounds resentful my friend in Christ. God Bless you and Jesus give you peace.

i have your scenario as well! i'm so glad i came to the Truth and have confidence to speak out with the Bible on my side. this video is a literal lifesaver!

Yes more people need to be reminded of love your neighbor. While growing up in Missouri a Christian told me that hurricane Katrina was sent by God to punish the people of Louisiana. I felt so sad after hearing that. I thought all Christians were like that. 😟

Sure. Self gratification, self centerness, personally orientated perception instead of spiritually received insight. Insight which reconfigured perception through the holy spirit which can open our eyes to divine grace. The self is ultimately an illusion. Only when we can detach ourself from the delision can our true spirit connect to the holy ghost

What is "this" that you are referring to? This video? Or how the world defines love?

@@gaizokubanou I think he means the world's definition of "love".

And insecure people. People are either worried that they're not good enough, or deceived that they are good enough. Jesus says you are not good enough, and that's a serious thing, but He forgives you and loves you anyway. This is true love, loving someone despite their shortcomings and also not loving their sin but still loving the person

I had to do the same lol. Melissa mastered some mind- and tongue- twisters and delivered them straight and with no pause. There is no way to process than to rewind and replay!

@@LHQM6875 ok, I just rewatched the end of the video and really listened to what Melissa was saying while remembering what she said before and it became much clearer. So, please go back and re-watch. Much love sister in Christ ❤🙏😊

Kelly, You took words out of my mouth! I’m a New Christian and am so afraid to offend Holy Spirit who is convicting me of just how much in my life is hurtful to God. I’m guessing that’s what it means pick up your cross daily and follow me.

Kelly so happy you're following Christ. In my opinion none of us are perfect and will make mistakes. Try the best you can. Read the Bible for your self and find a trust worthy church. God Bless you

@@lisaproctor7276 God bless you sister in Christ Jesus! I read every day all day long. I love the app called "Blue Letter Bible" it's amazing! You can pick which translation you want and plus, it has a feature that reads it to you. It's so great to have, alongside your regular bible you can hold in your hands and turn actual pages. I also highly recommend the KZfaq channel called Truthunedited. I especially loved the series on the playlist called "History of Religion". Put everything together and your understanding of the Word is si much greater. God Bless you 💕🙏😊. Melissa has one of the best channels I've found. Mike Winger also has a great channel. Brad from Carolina and Dayz of Noah also have great channels.

I completely understand Abby. I commend you and will pray for God to help you out with that xoxo

@@geekyogurtcup thank you so much i appreciate it 😭❤️

Anger always stems from something deeper. Asking God to help you weed through your past and heal those hurts will remove the habit. I pray for your journey, as it is all of ours as well, in having Jesus shine his light through us to be different in love.

Very true! Thank you Jesus!!!

Would to God everyone would Read His Word! ❤️🙌

Oh my word, this was so nice to read. 😭❤ May God continue to show you favor. :)

That is SO TRUE! Thank you for e comment!! ❤️🤗

This saying is totally hypocritical. Almost always they end up hurting a lot of people around them - and also themselves. It's a lie.

Do what thou wilt is Satan's way, and completely opposite what God commands

I was just thinking this morning that Jesus said he is "the way." The way is self-sacrificial love. That's Jesus' way. Any other love is self-serving and that is not "the way" but "your way." No one comes to the Father (a loving relationship with him) except through "the way." The way is true and gives you life.

i'm gonna come at this as gently as i can: the resentment likely all comes from you trying to push your religion on her. if it was her choice to be christain than that's on thing but if you're MAKING her do it (with things such as making her go to a christain school she doesn't want to be at) then all you're going to do is make her not only resent you but your religion (as well as possibly religion as a whole) as well (especially if you also don't like gay people,abortion,trans rights ect because she might become one of those someday and figure that you won't be there to back her up,assuming you don't flat out disown her). now don't get me wrong: i'm not assuming i know your or her lives at all. but statistically speaking,it's a LOT more common for a teenager forced into a religion they don't want to simply resent it rather than change their mind so my advice (as a random stranger on the internet) is that if you ARE pushing your religion on her,you need to back off a bit. you can still try to teach her core values such as what biblical love is,but don't take it so far that you're basically just trying to force her into something she'll just end up hating because there is a much greater chance that she with be doing all the things you fear her doing,AFTER christain high school than she would IN public school. bottom line is that you're just giving her something to rebel against if this isn't what she want's and it's almost guaranteed to blow up in your face when she get pregnant or starts doing drugs when she's done high school and moves out and can do whatever she want's because there's no one telling her what to do. again,i'm not saying i know either of you but i know what's likely to happen if you push her too far. if the resentment get's too serious,you're gonna lose your daughter who'll want nothing to do with you when she finally has the choice.

@@JT5555 my daughter is loving her new school now and we have the best relationship yet! I pray that God works on your soul and this name you identify with. It will have you spreading positivity all over the place. Blessings!

Glad you enjoyed it

😂😂😂😂 Me too, the longer videos are so Nice.

I concur!

i've been going through my own little process (with the help of a geman pastor i met on a art site because i'm weird like that) of trying to kinda break down every wall that stands between me and god (such as my reservations with some of the things he's done or a way i can interact with god without sacrificing my dignity/submitting to anyone) and i feel like this video is a important step in that because so much of it is simply me trying to UNDERSTAND god enough that i'm confident that my faith is not going to be misplaced: i'm too smart to simply accept anything without question.

Yes me too! I love that she backed everything up with scriptures and displayed the verses on the screen. For example a lot of Chirches just have the pastor talk without showing the scriptures.
