Is this an interrogation (or competition)? I have already given you a testimony in post #118. How about yourself?
In Christ Jesus I know all about it. And it's perfect!
What are the thoughts that Love thinks?
What does Love feel?
What does Love desire?
What are the judgments and mercy that Love gives?

The same thoughts that God thinks (many toward us, as numerous as the stars)
The same feelings God has (compassion for the lost, joy in His works, pleasure in His faithful ones)
The same desires God has (that all come to the knowledge of the Truth)
The judgments and mercy God has (true fairness and self-sacrifice)
For God is Love

Tell your testimony - how and why did you ever come to Salvation and believe in Jesus Christ....
Anyone born again has a testimony they love to share...

But, actually, this is off-topic. This thread is about Heb.12:22-24. Maybe you should start your own thread about this.

Hebrews 12:22-24 King James Version (KJV)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Hebrews 12:22-24 is the destiny of those that know and love God. Whoever will choose to know and love God, He wants them with Him forever.
Evidence of knowing and loving God is believing and receiving the Blood and Body of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins and receiving the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus which is the human fulfillment of the Law.

Yes, I do.
I've just had so many conversations about Calvinism in the past to no avail. No matter how much scripture anyone lists, it usually turns into an all out brawl and like I said it is most time unfruitful.
I don't think I've had this conversation with you before, so I am sorry for being short with you.

How odd of you to imply I do not know this, or Him.
It does not speak of any appreciation of me contesting what you say.
Nor does it show any knowledge of who I am or how I came to be in Him, which is disappointing coming from you.
Because I know you have heard at least some of my testimony, and my expressions of gratitude for what He has done.
I realize you like to wax poetic on certain themes and postulate much that is NOT Biblical. However, this IS the Bible Discussion Forum. If you were to say you think God is lonely, that is one thing. Making the absolute claim that He is and arguing about it as if it could be proven with Scripture is quite another. It is simply not Biblical, nor are some of your other claims. You may call it being judgmental simply because you don't like being called on it. I call it rightly dividing the Word of God.

That too. I know when I read the command to build an Ark that its TO Noah . I don't go out ordering wood and nails. But I learn about what happened which is important FOR us to do so . But some believers take this with the four gospels as if every word is TO them. FOR them yes . But not every verse is TO them ,/ Us .
Everyone knows that there are individual instructions in the Bible. I think we have discussed this before.
No one reads about Noah and thinks we need to build an Ark...but we see his faith and understand that we need to have faith like Noah had and obey the Lord in whatever he commands us to do. So pretty much there is the moral of that story.
