God is Love.

Love is blind.
Therefore God is blind.

after typing a long epistle yesterday evening, as i was about to post my phone went off, i felt like crying.

But anyways, this is my contribution

@plaetton i like your contribution in explaining love in a logical or scientific way, i would suggest we look at it neurologically because it involves the brain, the biochemical reactions, hormones e.t.c.

First, it’s important to define what we can of romantic love, to give
a starting off point. While no single dictionary can define the
concept, love has been associated with romantic passion, and an
intense attraction involving trust, belief, pleasure, and reward
activities within the brain
1,2. These processes have been thought
to involve chemicals such as oxytocin, vasopressin, dopamine,
and serotonergic signaling
(2). Oxytocin plays a role in bonding
after mating, bonding after childbirth, trust, sexual behavior, and
in the ability to form normal social attachments
(3). Vasopressin,
involved also in social interactions, has sparked recent interest
involving its role in sexual interactions. This chemical, which is
released into the brain during sexual activity, is now thought to
initiate and sustain the pattern of activity that supports the pair
bond between sexual partners
(4). Dopamine is often associated
with the pleasure part of the brain, providing feelings of
enjoyment, which encourages a person to perform an activity
proactively
(5). Lastly here, serotonergic signaling is thought of as
having an effect on body temperature, mood, sleep, vomiting,
sexuality, and appetite
(6). All of these chemicals together are
thought to play a large role involving love in the brain.

There is a science article on process of love. Here: serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/97

This explains much.....

Yeah bro, He turns a blind eye on your folly because He loves you. Nonetheless, my love would not marry a dog or a gay, as blind as it is.

Mclick:
its simple, I know you believe in the reason for laws and orderliness, and I also know you believe in reward system. That been said, how will this world have been, without governments or ruling system of any kind. Without law, you may not have come to being as some overbearing individual or group of people will have wipe out your lineage even before your great grand parent were born. Human being has tendencies to be greedy and selfish for ambition. Note that the law of God is not for us to love him alone, reverence him as the supreme being and creator, but for human being to live as peaceably as possible in a fairly harmonious co existence. Isn't the same thing our parent do to us, praise us when we do well and punish us when we behave badly, it takes a deeper and spiritual reasoning to come to the knowledge of God. That you love your children for example doesn't mean you won't give them guides and rules, in fact that is love and responsible parenting, that way they grow up to become responsible adults. If in the other way round, you refuse to train them because you love them, a shame and pain in the neck they become to you..... And the world. The world without laws, principles and rules will be a jungle, even among animals there are laws. God is so real, His power is so real and His knowledge is unsearchable.

What's the purpose of eternal punishment for sinners in hell?

If they don't have any chance of coming out,What good does it serve them Since according to you everything God does is for the good of mankind.

So What good does hell fire serve to sinners When they would never have a chance to come out of it again?

hell is primarily meant for the devil AND sinners who will not repent. If you have a child you punish him for an offence after pre warning? Its the same thing. Moreso sinners has more chance and opportunity to repent, if then they decide other wise, then its not God's fault. You wouldn't be a wicked father if after providing for your children and the one who decide to be bad always stealing and in the process he is hanged

"Love is not blind-It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less."
~Will Moss


Love allows us to "see" past others' faults. After all, none of us is perfect. Love helps us become less judgmental and more tolerant.

Was it the father that hanged the child?

That's one of the problems I have with the Christian idea of punishment.

Can you hang your child,no matter the offence he may commit?

I missed this dudes. I'm in....Good morning everyone..

obviously he is not the only one, why do the world punish people by death, because potentially they are threats to fellow human

Mclick:

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.

you will understand it better by and by

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?

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.

It takes folly for anyone to say there is no God.

@mizmycoli

I have always wanted to settle this issue of love with you, because your posts have the strongest conviction in love as the viable way of life and most important "element" in the Universe.

Although it is difficult to define love, but we can agree that we both know intuitively what love is and what is expected of it. Can we agree love is an emotion?

love is a person: Jesus Christ. Wow. I really love talking about love.

Its the story of mans salvation you see. A love story.

Love is not an emotion. It is not a feeling.

This is love kay17: not that kay17 loved God, but that he loved her, and gave Jesus as a ransom for her wrongdoing.

We can start from there

Because the buybull said So,not because you reasoned it out. Do you think you can reason outside the buybull?

I can manipulate you with the words of buybull being fully aware of the total control the buybull has over your life and reasoning.

This is almost nonsensical. We have agree "love" is some sort of action independent from persons. I can't make sense of "Jesus loves me" if the love means Jesus.

plaetton:


That god is love depends on whose god we are talking about.
God and love are linked as ideals.
A mind that resonates with love will undoubtably create a god with similar characteristics, and vise versa.

Since god is imaginary, he can be anything, including love, as well as it's opposite.

The god of the scriptures display qualities that are clearly the antithesis of love.
Yahweh confesses to be the author and architect of evil ( chaos and disharmony ).

You're clearly deceived by the devil.

Jesus is love. And he is the purest example of what love does and who love is. He is love personified. You do not know true love if you do not know him.

So anyone who tells you the plain truth is clearly deceived by the devil?

Look at how stupid the buybull has made you.

I thought you agreed to be a truth seeker. Why the insult to the Christains bible? Or have you taken a position? Or has this been the position but cowardice suppressed it while motivation here brought it out?

Question for the gods.

Who cares What you think?

Insult is the only language Christians understand, So I have to speak their language for them to understand me.

So now taking a position means I have been a coward all these while to speak up,how silly can you get?

There is Nothing more to seek again. The truth is that Yahweh doesn't exist. That's the truth,I no longer need to seek any truth again cos I have found the truth.

Dapo777:

There was a time you showed to care. Let me help you here.
A good man cares about what good people have to say. Or have you concluded that I am not a good man without understanding me or you are not a good man yourself or you don't even agree that a good man must act so? Tell me, Dapo.

Dapo777:

Insult is the only language Christians understand, So I have to speak their language for them to understand me.

This is a wrong statement, my friend, but I am still ready to hear why you think so. Go on..

Dapo777:

Lol. I didn't say you've been a coward. I was only asking if you have been. They are not the same, my friend. The main reason the question you asked here is unnecessary and ill-founded. Do you still stand by it?

Dapo777:

There is Nothing more to seek again. The truth is that Yahweh doesn't exist. That's the truth,I no longer need to seek any truth again cos I have found the truth.

How did you find it. Tell me your methods.

Pls I need help its life and death www.nairaland.com/1963635/need

Wtf

Love is God! To explain love is like one trying to explain God.God is love in all encompassing.

even ladies does this?

Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.

Love is NOT emotion, but the subjects can experience emotional imbalances and balances. Love is an expression of the Laws of attraction in the physical universe. It is safe to say that love is a manifestation of nature's magnetism on biotics.
