"Give room to all post. I can say love is collective, I cant love someone and dont collect him/her. Love is not selfish...... so many but we were to get educated by everyones post not question posts."

i'm not perfect.. can you deal with that?

Love is not conditional,example:although I may get angry at someone I love, I still love them, when my children were small and perhaps they would get in trouble for something they woulsd say, "you don't love me anymore,"and I would tell them, I will always love you, no matter what, but that does not mean that I will not ever be angry. I am not able to fully understand the kind of love that God has for us, its over my head at this time,to say that He is a jealous God or not one is really not the point, He told us to love oneanother, to love Him, not try to disect or understand everything....do all things with love.....

that, i agree period. that's precissely my idea of love for now: love one another as you love yourself.
with this i mean:
i cannot be as jesus for now, as my faith isn't so big as that, and love so much to the point i would sacrifice(to death)..
although someday it will be necessary.(i don't know if you all believe in this, but in the end we will be tested by beeing persecuted).

maybe just maybe the only just thing i can think about satan is to have pity, maybe
but don't know for now i hate him:mad:

have you thought on the cataclisms of events that he provoqued?
still God gave the universe a second chance by that time, athird when Jesus came, and every second that passes there's infinit number of chances for us.

"maybe just maybe the only just thing i can think about satan is to have pity, maybe"
correction:
maybe, just maybe the only right thing i can think about satan is to have pity on him, maybe.

I believe its ok to hate satan, God says to hate evil, for me, the thing I sometimes have trouble with is....love those who persecute you, pray for those who wrong you, this is not that easy....

the main point on praying for those who wish us harm, is to pray that they'll get better and give up on evil inside of them..
but it's still hard to do that...

but it's ok for now with this society.. i mean i have no reason to point at any of my friends(which are not christian)
the problem are the thieves and so on( i've been robbed by one under the threat i would be spanked)
but then there was a time i wanted revenge now i don't know what to think about that person that robbed me( besides he doesn't provoque me anymore, so i'm glad for that)
but don't know on how i'll react if he bothers me again:s
i just wish that God helps me on not doing somethin bad to him..
:p:p

Love is not a feeling... love is a choice.

Yep I agree with this.........

Feelings come and go, feelings can be fickle.

God CHOSE to love us, he didn't just 'feel like it'. Where would we be if He just felt like it one day and not the next or felt like loving some of the human race but not another part........

The foundation of love is found in God......When we learn to love God, we learn to love ourselves and can give love to others, because we understand what it means.

We can measure true love against what the bible tells us.....Love is patient, Love is kind etc....this is a checkpoing for how we behave and perceive love and a checkpoint for what we would look for in other people.

well i love my momma never had to do any sacrifice for her though, how do you explain that?

but i repeat if it would be needed if my love is strong(which i believe it is) i would do something that would mean sacrifice.
same for Jesus for that matter
you dont love your momma at all. :p

you wanna talk about definitions on concepts? when you don't know the meaning of words that form those concepts?
i ask you then wha's the meaning of love to you? nad sacrifice to you? you can look it up on the dictionary.
thta i don't call shallow i call it lack of sight
haha. If the subject is just about dictionary definitions this should not be a forum topic at all.. :p
