Moving Forward

I wanted to clear up the whole sexual end of Agape because that's where my mind was. That's what I, as a guy who has dated for three years, think about. That's what I WAS concerned with. And now I'm through it. People, we are on to bigger and better things. Yes, the sexual life and Agape are truly wonderful things, but that's not it. There's a whole life we should be living that we may or may not be living. This is what we are going to explore, in depth, indefinitely. Through the next teachings we are going to study the Bible like never before (or at least I'm going to). It's going to be a time of challenge and struggle. I want to let you know that I am not an authority of any of this. I've never had an Bible School. I've never been officially taught.

And so, I take the right to change my opinion. That's the only way I can grow. If I say something now and then change it in a future post, please accept me for who I am: human. I learn, discover, and change my mind accordingly. We can only hope that God is involved in all processes (and I pray so).

God loves people. No matter what you accept, you have to accept that, and if you don't, you have to at least consider it as a fact. He loves us with an undying love. It is a love that people have compared to large bodies of water and gigantic amounts of space. It's a love that nobody can fully comprehend. But we can know it.

There's a very big difference between knowing something and comprehending it. I know my girlfriend on a very personal basis, but I will never be able to fully comprehend her. I can't one day get to the bottom of her and decided there's nothing left for me to understand. It's physically impossible.

It's the same way with God's love. We can know it, but we can't comprehend it.

I can't comprehend why God loves me. I'm a masturbating-lying-selfish-want-things-for-myself-but-don't-want-to-appear-that-way kind of person, but God still loves me. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to fix these things or not; he still loves me. I could jump off a bridge in hopes of dying; his love for me would still exist. Yelling and cursing his name won't make it go away.

HE LOVES ME.

And, HE LOVES YOU.

The love he has for me he also has for you. That's how it works: it's there for everyone.

He loves us.

It is with this in mind that we begin our journey.

Please, join me...
