This is so powerful, only the truly "spiritual" of believers will catch this is plumb it's depths. Religionists cannot fathom it. God is just, but God is not justice. God is holy, but God is not holiness. God is glorious, but God is not glory. All of these are attributes. However, with regards to the very essence of His substance of being... God IS love. That's BIBLE. To reject this truth is to reject the God of Scripture.

Pray that I can become as spiritual as you.

I'm not spiritual. I'm simply a dreamer.

I added to the original post. Please review. Maybe you'll see more clearly what I'm trying to explain.

Personally, I think you've caught this. Now, plumb it's depths.

Those who cling to religion reveal that they are either haven't received this understanding... or... they are afraid of it. They are afraid to let go of the religion that is so comfortable. They refuse to let go of a religion that is...so... measurable with human standards of measurement. Because love cannot be seen or measured. Love is supernatural, it's origin being in God. A harlot can pour more love on Christ's feet in 20 seconds than a religionist can with 50 years of religious devotion through the traditions and commandments of men. Love cannot be measured, graded, or critiqued by human eyes. Therefore, it is terrifying to those who insist on keeping score.
