1 John 4:16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
So why is it that between Christians who claim to abide in God's love, that His love means so many different things to so many?
Is this as it should be... ? Does God teach on His love --of Himself-- differently to different Christians? So that some say it is one thing and some another?
What is the spirit that claims some Christians are not Christian and this said out of Christian love, and yet another spirit also said out of love is said to be more promoting of unity?
Is it a similar love that warns of fellowship with all Christians, that some are not of God's love and those others who claim equally out of God's love that all Christians are deserving of blessing and to different degrees are saints engaged into the world and that all have their due as saints -- God's love?
Ideas? Scripture? Who might have an odd opinion on this? Who might have the truth?
