V-Day for many is a time when romance is rekindled and acts of love are encouraged. It is day when the world celebrates love. What better day then to celebrate the love of God!, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8  Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9  In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10  In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11  Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12  No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 13  By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14  And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savio...

As Christians we often forget that our faith is Judeo. Jesus Christ is the God of Israel incarnate who according to the body was a Son of David and Abraham (Romans 1:1-7, John 1:1-17, Luke 3:23-38, and Mathew 1:1-17); and according to the Spirit Son of God, God in flesh,  and Creator of Abraham and David (John 8:48-59, Colossians 1:15-18, John 1:1-5)). The Twelve Disciples were Hebrews, and the Church leaders save for Paul, also a Hebrew of Hebrews (Philippians 3:5), had their headquarters in Jerusalem (Acts 15:1-21). When the Gospel spread to the Gentiles and the apostles decided that faith in Jesus is enough, no one has to become Hebrew and follow the Law of Moshe (Acts 15:1-21, Galatians 5:4, Galatians 2:21). It is not necessary to become a Hebrew to believe in Jesus (John 3:16, John 6:40, Romans 10:9-10, 1 John 4:15). Salvation is a free gift to all men, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead i...

God the Trinity created human flesh, the body and breathed a spirit into it, “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:6-7). Jesus Christ, the Incarnation of God says, “God is spirit,” (John 4:24) and yet that Spirit took a body (Colossians 1:16, 2:9), and died so our spirits could have eternal life (John 3:16, John 6:40), and that we one day may have new bodies (1 Corinthians 15:35-58 ). Religious cults tend to veer into one of two extremes, they either emphasize the spiritual over the carnal, as in the case of the Nestorians who believed all flesh and seeable matter was evil but the unseen spiritual world is good or they verge into Roman territory, “if grace abounds all the more, why not sin more,”  (Romans 6:1-23), and allow the body and its lusts to become the focus to the determinant of the spirit and eternal standing.  The Body is important.
