chinedumo:
He preaches his doctrine of ego and tries to convince me in it goes about trying tio convience other in other trades. my answer is the same as i have always said before A god is that thing u worship adore spend time in serve live for.

chinedumo:
I mean no harm or aggrasion but love and concern and help. I dont mean to ridicule you cos the GOD I serve is not a respecter of persons he will requie from every soul what he has( what he was given/what he gave him) and nothing more. I wish you safety

KunleOshob:

So how does this prove your allegation that love should be cofined to the christian faith the fact that their is a special greek word for brotherly love does not mean that that is what christian love is limited to. I guess you should go and check out the greek words for the love word Jesus used during his commandments to love. Jesus command was to love our neighbours as our selves, he also commanded us to love our enemies and do good to them that hate us. is he refering to our "christian" brethen here too?

This is exactly what the christian faith is presently suffering, we have offered what was supposed to be our meal to a wicked world who barely understand its value, hence the introduction/infilteration of their belief system into our fold.

Kunle, dont tell me i should be explaining more to you, i expect you to know. na wa o!

KunleOshob:

Bros i need a bible quotation for the allegation above with special emphasis on the word AGAPE.

Tonye-t:

^^^ and what exactly was the kind of LOVE he was admonishing us to show there. Its folks like you that misinterprete scriptures and allow rubbish infilterate into the fold

chinedumo:

Agape love is the love jesus should (showed) on the cross. He died for all not believers alone. they were hardly many believers. many will eventually/later become believers. but at present, the time in which u showed love to them they were unbelievers. it is this love that draws them to repentance. If they slap u on one check turn the other. If they take your coat give them your cloak. this is what Jesus did on the cross. after the centurion had finished crucifying him he said truly this man was the son of GOD. Agape love is not self seeking it is life giving/sacrificing.
Pls how did I misinterpret scripture and allow rubbish to infiltrate?

Enigma:

chinedumo

That's quite a good enough description of agape love. Unfortunately, in our weakness we tend not to be able to do it or to do it often enough!

benodic:

now that most of the arguments has been put to rest, it gets me wondering what it will take to make people realize that love has no boundaries and no religion either. that is why a christian will fall in love with a moslem and goes ahead to marry the person despite oppositions that may arise from narrow minded people. love still remains the key to heaven and if you do not have it, you are going no where.

chinedumo:

With every certainty love is universal and not selective. though we were yet sinners Christ died for us all. love your enemies do good to does who spitefully use you and offend you. But do not be unequally yoked together with unbeliever for what concord has the house of God with beliel, The Lord requires us to love everyone but not enter commitment (covenant/yoking) relationship with unlike faith/unbelievers/infediel

jagunlabi:

Benodic, chinedumo is a total write off when it comes to the issue of universal love, is he not?He is the kind of folks i never want to have anything to do with and i hope i never meet in this life.His kind of "love" is one of the biggest reasons why i left religion far behind, and boy, am i glad i did.

sinequanon:

So, the likes of Chinedumo have been a blessing to you, no?

jagunlabi:

Oh yes, in a roundabout sort of way.The pseudo-structure of dogma is a hinderance to universal love, to love without boundaries.That can be clearly recognized in his post.Although he believes in love, he is quite clearly struggling with the religiuos dogmatic structures that he has surrounded himself with.He is finding it tough going to relate his view of god as the source of universal love with his own idea of selective love imposed upon him by the dogma of his chosen faith which is christianity.Most christians battle with this problem daily.I just simply walked out on chrsitianity so as not to have that sort of mental battle with myself for the rest of my life.

jagunlabi:

^^^Whatever.Is to love all without boundaries not what jesus taught?I tell you something, it is far easier to follow jesus' teachings without carrying about the excess baggage of organized christian doctrines and dogma, far easier.Ironic, is it not?

sinequanon:

I don't know. My "bible" is the "universe" so to speak, "written" in a magnificent language worthy of life. I don't get my teachings from crude morse code language, like the written or spoken word of 26 letters of the alphabet.

jagunlabi:

The "universe" itself is the magnificent language worthy of life - and not a book written and edited by men - from which i get my own teachings.But to each one his own.

benodic:

dear jagunlabi,
thank God for souls like you and sineqanon who have been able to leave the narrow confines of most christian reasoning. what christians do not know is that if jesus is to come back now he will have absolutely nothing to do with present day christians who does not know the meaning of love. one of my christian room mate in the university refused to tell me that my exam has been rescheduled brought forward to the present day instead of tomorrow. i was still reading and getting ready for the exam tomorrow when my neighbour who is an atheist and a communist came into the room and told me that my exam has been brought forward. i asked my christian room mate if he knew about it and he said yes. when i asked him why he did not tell me, he did not say a word. it then dawned on me that he wanted me to fail because i was not a christian like him and i had told him that i am okay with my own religion and had no intentions of going back to christianity because i found a lot of loop holes in christianity. this was just one of the evil things he did to me but despite all that i still continued giving him love because i knew he was acting from ignorance. love and love alone is what makes the world go round and love has no boundaries, no rules and of course no religion
