love and scripture

My friend Michael posted this cartoon on his facebook page.  Someone indicated that scripture was more important than love.

I disagree.

The bible does not say that God is scripture.  The bible says that God is love.  Some well meaning Christians have elevated scripture to the point that it is an idol.  They have deified scripture [made scripture into God].  Jesus himself routinely set scripture aside, "you have heard it said, but I say unto you..."

God will always rise above scriptures and above our interpretation of them.  God is love.  That does not need much of an explanation.  We know what is and what isn't love.  God is love.  We should make loving others the business of our lives.


It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
