Hi friend, in the Greek one word might require a paragraph to define the meaning, The word "I will" that Jesus used when the man asked "if you would, I could be healed", or thereabout, I have heard it taught the meaning of "I will" translated as "it is the very nature of who I am that you be well, whole, healed and restored".

Looks like a false equivalence to me. One is real, the other isn't- I'm just warning people about the one that isn't. I don't need to disprove anything.

My point was that you would struggle to prove the existence of love in exactly the same way you would struggle to prove the existence of empathy. Its a similar argument to materialists who would argue against the existence of the spiritual. When Jesus wept over Lazarus' death, who do you suppose He was weeping for? Only for Himself, if your claim is to be believed.

Empathy doesn't excuse bad behaviour, but it helps us respond with grace instead of wrath, with understanding instead of accusation.

I agree, i stay thankful for everything given to me and even in the bad moments i thank my haters and abusers. Its the only way which releases stress, and sets a message in place.
