"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God..." (John 1:1)
"...he is called by the name The Word of God." (Revelation 19:13)
"It is unwise to take a philosophical book from the OT written strictly from a carnal or physical stand point and apply it as a corrector of Jesus words."
It is unwise to call the message that the Word of God had a part in conveying to mankind "a philosophical book" "carnal" and "physical".
"The wise one has his eyes in his head; but the stupid one is walking in darkness." (Ecclesiastes 2:14)
Jesus is the wisdom of God. He knows the truth of Ecclesiastes is just as valid today, including chapter 10.
"In whatever way the fool walks, he is lacking good sense, and he lets everyone know that he is a fool." (Ecclesiastes 10:3)
Ecclesiastes 10:12-14 is really good too.
"The words from the mouth of the wise one bring favor, but the lips of the stupid one are his ruin. The first words out of his mouth are foolishness, and his last words are disastrous madness. But the fool keeps on speaking."
"the dead know nothing at all - Eccl. 9: 5"
The spiritually dead know nothing at all about love. That's why they teach about hellfire doctrine and disfellowshipping doctrine, things that God hates.
"This people approach me with their mouth
And they honor me with their lips,
But their heart is far removed from me;
And their fear of me is based on commands of men that they have been taught."
@SeaBreeze, if Jesus can wake the dead, he can wake you up too. "Love hopes all things."
You would never keep someone alive to be tortured forever. That's hateful and sick. You wouldn't picture Jesus hurting someone like that. Why would you accuse God of such a terrible thing? Only a hater would want his brother stay alive to suffer and burn in hell forever. Jesus is not a hater of mankind. He came to save mankind. God is not a hater of mankind. He loves His kids.
"If anyone says, “I love God,” and yet is hating his brother, he is a liar. For the one who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And we have this commandment from him, that whoever loves God must also love his brother."
Disfellowshipping doctrine and hellfire doctrine are from the Chief Hater of God. That Chief Hater of God is the wicked one who also hates God's children. "That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie." The Devil sowed those seeds of leaven in the early Christian congregation, but it's time for them to be removed from our hearts.
"God is Love."
