LOVE IS NOT EMOTION BUT A DECISION TO MEET THE NEED OF ANOTHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN.
LOVE IS CARING- ANTICIPATING THE NEED OF ANOTHER AND MEETING IT

What I am trying to say is that when when atomic particle, for example charges, or excites another particle to it's own resonate frequency, they establish a harmony that I think is the subatomic equivalence of love, resonating in the same frequency.

The Earth, for example, has a harmonic frequency through which it bestows and sustains life among her children. Therefore, I t would be safe to say that the Earth communicates and spreads love to her children through harmonic resonance.

When we do same, we feel the harmonic resonance as an emotion that we call love.

Again, my 2 cents.
. Ha! This one's weird. U sound like an atheist, are u one?

Do you think such definition is whole and satisfactory?
Emotions are involuntary but you cultivate love. E.g. Muhammad said, force them into Islam, the believe will come later. If you put all you have on a woman you don't love, the love will surely come.

That is a different case. The world doesn't claim to love people unconditionally, Yes they should be killed If they are threat,how does that apply to God?

Are sinners threat to God?

Are sinners threats to God?

Think! Don't leave your brain idle.

Hahahahahahaha is that the best reply you can give me?

I think you are the one who needs to understand that this So called Yahweh is Nothing But a very strong MYTH

Let me help you out of ur delusion further.

Have you ever thought about your pagan grand parents who don't believe in Jesus, Where do you think they are? If your beliefs are true then all your ancestors are burning in hell!!!!! Why? Because they didn't believe in Jesus, will you Happy to see them burn in hell while you are in heaven having fun with Yahweh?

Does that make any sense to you? cheesy

It doesn't take over-sabi to be an atheist, it takes common sense and studying the Bible with an open mind to be an atheist.
. U don't hav common sense, u have uncommon stu.pidity, am sori. Who told u all dose who didn't know Jesus will burn in hell? So u r tryin to say Abraham, David, Moses, Elijah etc all dose who pleased God b4 d tyme of Jesus will go to hell? I just pray God delivers u, I rilly pray. U tink u r wise, & all dose who beliv in God are foolish huh? Smh. Thins of God can't be explained logically, so crack ur brain all u want u ll only be landing urself in more ignorance. Open ur self to God, its only Him dat can giv u divine revelation & explanation, if only u ll let Him.

One could love a thing or a person. when one professes to love what you natural like or derives pleasure in, it may not be all true love, but when you love a thing or someone you have reason not to want to love, that's true love. There are always some reason attached to professed love; benefits, looks, and or beauty, personality, race and lineage some times out of selfishness. In most cases, a person or even animals you truely love will love you back in short and or long run as they will feel it, if its real true. For example God loves us his children differently. There are those who seem to have more access to God, his presence, power and authority because they have paid the sacrifice to be closer to him and so be reverence them for that. Therefore, Love some times is returns of a measure. So if I love a person who appreciate it, there are tendencies I will love more. In the other way however, I may still love but not more
God's love cannot be equate with man kind of love. God's love is unconditional. He is not a partial God. God loves us tha 'while we were yet sinners, Christ died for u' he did die because we were close to Him or reciprocate. So not compare man's love with God' love.

I have made up my mind to stop arguing about all these religion issues,it leads no Where. But take a look at this man,and tell me What you think about him. Be right back with the story.

How would you describe a man that sits you down with very hot fire he created beside him,telling you: you know What? You see Dat fire over there? I created it,and It's very hot,But I don't wish you to go into the fire because I love you,But I still created the fire. Here is the deal,I know I gave u ur freewill But I don't want u to do ur will But mine. I want u to love me and do everything I say So I can be happy,But just incase you don't want to do my will,that fire over there is waiting to receive you(smiles) ,I am not forcing you to do my will ooo and I am not interfering with ur will at all ooo But I created that fire over there to torture you If u don't do my will,you see that i am not interferring at all,But I am not forcing u ooooo yet I created a very hot fire to BURN you for eternity,you see that I am not forcing you,don't think that fire is a threat against your will,see that fire as my anger for u not obeying my will because I love u and I love u enough to see you burn for eternity. Tell me who do you know loves as much as I do? Who else is as caring as to see his children burn in hell for eternity as me? You see that I am the Most caring? THAT'S my boy. Now the decision is yours, love me or burn in hell for eternity,Which one do you choose?

Normally, I don't comment on topic like this. I gues rules are broken sometimes to suite a situation. On the issue of hell, yes it was created, originally not for human but for the devil. Satan, knowing fully well that God won't go back on his word decided not to go down alone. The bible made us understand that he did not only decided to make humans member of his cabinet in hell, but also included some angels. Hence, he continually play his tricks on human minds and turn them against their creator, making them do dreadful things and wipe out the original plans of God for creating them. The most painful part of this to God is that human were actually being used to make other humans live life uncomfortably, that is why God through the very few among human who listen to him rather than satan decided to guide humanity with his laws. All these laws where actually made out of his love for humans. You will see that all the laws of God was to guide and protect humanity generally, don't steal, don't kill, don't lie against one another etc where made to protect mankind from those that the devil has used his wisdom to deciv into making life difficult for others. Thank you so much

What you just said now should make you reflect about the Bible you carry everywhere.

Jesus said in the Bible "NO ONE comes to the father except Through me".

So how did Moses,Abraham,Elijah David make heaven before Jesus ever came around?

All What you said is only in support of What I have been saying: the Bible is full of contradictions and shouldn't be taken seriously.


Use that brain of yours don't let the Bible tie you down mentally,It's nauseating When you can't see an obvious contradiction starring at you in the eyes.

Tell me how Moses Elijah David Abraham made heaven without Jesus and Jesus said no one comes to the father except Through me.


Let me give my answer.

because dose who wrote the Bible know how gullible people like you would still believe NONSENSE, no matter What. People always want something to believe even If It's wrong.


Oh well. It's ur life.

Ohhh Please shut up. I don't give a damn What scares you.

An intelligent man doesn't need the fear of hell to live a good life. It's silly people like you that need to be threatened with hell before living good lifes.

What will God save me from? Who told you heaven exist?

Is it because I have plans to remain a sinner?

Hahahaha I always laugh When Christians make such ridiculous statement.

If you want me to answer that question, answer this one:

Will armed robbers stop believing in policemen existence So that they can rob well?

Will prostitutes stop believing in HIV aids So that they can fornicate well?

Will pilots stop believing in empty fuel tanks So that they can fly their planes on empty fuel Thanks?

Will I stop believing in God So that I can continue to sin?

Can you see how ridiculous your question is?

These are just nomenclatures... But on a lighter note, without Agape (Divine) there's no Philia (brotherly affection). That's why a man out of greed and frustration would think of using family members or neighbours for money rituals.

Agape is God to man, man to God which is initiated based on faith while Philia is man to man... The similarity is in the fruits they produce - care, forgiveness, patience, obedience etc and judging by that they proclaim the very nature of God which is summarised in one word - LOVE.

Yea, I get what you mean my brother. In the broader sense of it whoever, my analogies is trying to say love could be in different levels and much more of it could be gain through access of it. God loves us all no doubt, some are more favoured. This is how, some people are closer to him therefore, they enjoy more of his love. The reason why it seem or some are actually more loved or favoured as I said is, because of the closeness to God they hear often, thereby know him more and if they determined to work is his ways, definitely they will enjoy more of his love. So with God, you can actually gain access to much more love. I hope you do understand what I mean now. Note that to be closer to him is by choice and determination

But the fruits of tolerance and coexistence is "care, forgiveness, patience, obedience etc", but tolerance is not the same with love. So if we mix up the results/actions for the subjects, we will not get the correct picture of it.


So again, I ask what is the similarity between agape and philia?

Obviously, it'd be futile trying to wet a dry stone... Have made my point, and asking me to repeat again and again what I think I've done justice to would be unnecessary - got more pressing issues to attend to.
Notwithstanding, it'd do me no harm to know what you think is "Agape" and "Philia"
