What do you know abt love
Re: Let's Talk About Love. by mcdokwe(m): 10:16am On Nov 06, 2014
I concur that it is an emotion and very subject to change.

Once it does, you see people acting in ways you could have sworn they won't.

In all, I believe it is a beautiful thing and everybody needs it. My wish is to win back mine, but in the event I don't, I hope to find someone I'ld love just like I loved her.

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.

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

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?

How did you find it. Tell me your methods.

Just read the first chapter in the Bible with an open mind, then you would know God doest exist.

"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.

I wholly agree.
Re: Let's Talk About Love. by jmoore(m): 10:21am On Nov 06, 2014
Love is patient.
Love is Kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast.
It is not proud.
It does not dishonour others.
It is not selfish.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

God is 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?
Hmmmmmm... But you have a point. But I still love my God. You have been preached to in more forceful manner.

But Tell me one thing that favours us in life if not done right? Even while you are on earth, you pay the price for wrongful decisions. So, why should eternity be any different.

It's simple bro. Do right and reap the reward and do wrong and reap the reward... It's just a natural law man.

Love isn't just an emotion. I believe Love is also a choice.

I look at relationships these days (e.g. marriages in particular) and you hear people getting divorce because the love doesn't exist anymore. I ask, do you stop loving your mum/dad just because they pissed you off? I believe not. So why do people stop loving their spouses based on the filmiest excuses.

[quote author=Kay17 post=27688764]yes, but lets find the basic nature of love which binds kinship, friendship, romantic desire and self emptying together as Love before we talk abut the action of Love. Since love comes from within man, and it is not primarily a function of our rationality, it has to be an emotion or an instinct.[]Love love love

And God said,let there be light and there was light.

Please What is the source of this light When the sun wasn't created yet?

God Later created the plants,still without the sun. How manage? How did the plants survived without the presence of the sun light?

Then Later Later that God thought about creating the sun. What's now the purpose of creating the sun When there was light already? The plant didnt need sunlight to survive as shown previously and we dont need the light from the sun to see,so what was Gods purpose of creating the sun when there was light and darkness already.Does the earth need more light from the sun in addition to the light he brought with his words?

Can you smell the impossibility of this story? undecided

That story says it all. It's all man made. I won't force you to disbelief the Bible But this is my own evidence.

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.

Your words are like violent ravings of a foolish man. Who will take you seriously. Who will pay attention to anything you have to say?

You're like a violent fundamentalist. And if you think insults will help you pass views across, then you are mistaken. Insults will only make us shake our heads in pity at what the circumstances of this world has turned a man like you into. A bitter insult-throwing maniac.

You just did the same now bro. It's in ur blood u can't do without insult,u just insulted me now by calling me a foolish man. I hope you believe now that insult is your language. When you are in Rome,speak the Roman language.

MizMyColi:

Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother"wink to pleasure ("I loved that meal"wink. It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals. Love may be understood as a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.
^^^ Source: Wikipedia

Our emphasis in this context would be the emboldened.

You would agree with me that going by what we know to be true in our hearts and by the above submission, we would be doing love a great disservice by reducing it to “just an emotion”.
As a matter of fact, love and fear
is the basis for all emotions.
Love and fear, in all their forms and compartments can never be entirely separated from the being of a human.

Ancient Greeks distinguished four kinds of love:-
1. Kinship or familiarity (storge),
2. Friendship (philia),
3. Sexual and/or romantic desire (eros), and
4. Self-emptying or divine love (agape).

Emphasis on the last emboldened.
That is the kind of love I would that we all aspire to.

Ok then If you have an explanation, I would Really like to hear your explanation, a lot of other people too would like to hear an explanation about how the light came without the sun.

Plssss we seriously need an explanation for it Since it is not impossible for you.

See. When baseless insults are thrown around, nothing is done. No ground is covered. Only feelings of hate are generated.

Speak civilly.

Hypocrisy, very typical of Christians.

After acting uncivilized, you then use the same abusive mouth to preach to me to speak civilly.

You are such a joke. Why should I take someone with double standard seriously

[b]The word "love" can have a variety of related
but distinct meanings in different contexts. Many
other languages use multiple words to express
some of the different concepts that in English
are denoted as "love"; one example is the plurality
of Greek words for "love" . Cultural differences in
conceptualizing love thus doubly impede the
establishment of a universal definition.
Although the nature or essence of love is a
subject of frequent debate, different aspects of
the word can be clarified by determining what
isn't love (antonyms of "love"wink Love as a general
expression of positive sentiment (a stronger
form of like ) is commonly contrasted with hate
(or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more
emotionally intimate form of romantic
attachment, love is commonly contrasted with
lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with
romantic overtones, love is sometimes
contrasted with friendship , although the word
love is often applied to close friendships. (Further
possible ambiguities come with usages "girlfriend",
"boyfriend", "just good friends"wink
