It's easy to say things in religion than doing them.

Let me state one true fact here that you can disagree with as much as you can but it's true. YOU CANNOT LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF. ITS IMPOSSIBLE. you can love them as much as you can but never as much as yourself. you can deceive yourself into thinking you love them as much as yourself but you know deep down you don't

I burst laugh when I saw this. It's actually true. If u love your neighbor as yourself you'll literally run into penury

You are not getting the point.

If you're hungry, you have no biz feeding someone that's hungry while you maintain a hungry state. That's means you ve loved your neighbor more than yourself

You can say that again. Some text even go as far as loving ones enemies. How is that even possible? You serve a supposedly ' jealous God', who loves you, but also demands absolute obedience and worship or burn and you somehow perceived this sorta love to be unconditional?! There's no unconditional love anywhere!

You can't love some neighbors, infact some neighbors are very different to live with in same compound.

There's this lady I met in the compound where I newly packed in, on my right y she is my nearest neighbor.
This lady is so mean. For instance, she doesn't answer greetings, even when she manage to answer, u won't even hear her. The worst is she will never greet first.

How does someone come back from an outing, meet fellow tenants (not one person that I may say she has something against that person), she will just walk pass....

Me I have decided to take her as one who doesn't exist.

You must be a troublemaker grin
I have same kind of neighbor but whether she answers or not, I keep greeting her cos I feel embarrassed when I don't greet people especially if you are someone I may be seeing often.
Other tenants already know her attitude and stopped greeting her but I can't find a way to stop.

thats highly true.

Loving your neighbor as yourself is one of rare virtues seen among christians today. Infact christians don't care , all what they know is to go to church every Sundays, to showcase their new clothes and shoes .

Last week, i went to a super market to get some provision. There was this man from winners chapel that was preaching to a young man, i picked interest in what the man was preaching, i relaxed inside my car and listened to him. When he finished preaching, the young man asked him for help, that he was very hungry he should help him with anything or he should buy a bread for him in the super market. Imagine what the so called preacher answered the boy, that he can't give anything to unrighteous person, untill he comes to his church and give his life to Christ, then he can asked him anything. Tell me the different between this church and occult fraternity. So until i come to your church before you deem it fit to help me....lol



I don't know if this the type of teaching winners chapel teaches. But i wouldn't want to believe it. If it's not, then there people who are hell bent in spoiling the church name.

I just came out of my car and told the young man that there's no need of him listening to this type of a preacher. Very uselessss evangelist from winners chapel.

I understand that part. My own part that you're not understanding is if I buy one car for myself I cannot buy a second car if I have any neighbor that doesn't have a car.

Car is luxury not basic needs.

Mt25:35

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.



If you have a car, you can give your neighbor a lift if you're going his way.

Some people still don't understand this Bible quotation, Love your neighbor as you love yourself means u have to love(treat) your neighbor as you love(treat) yourself which means you have to love yourself first before you love your neighbor. Some people don't even love themselves. You don't wear good clothes/shoes, u don't wear nice(good) roll-on, deodorant/perfumes, u don't eat good food, your environment is dirty, how will such person love his/her neighbour?

You're now giving it your own criteria. Jesus didn't say "love your neighbor in basic needs"
He said love your neighbor as yourself. Period. You don't only express love for yourself by satisfying your needs. U also express it by satisfying your wants

I gave you a scripture cos I know you will think like that. If you're scriptures savvy you ll understand how not to quote a verse in the scripture out of context is important

Good piece, some here on Nairaland will tell you only in their organisation is love found.


Let love lead because God is love.

Love is an action word, so when Jesus said Love your neighbor as yourself, He means same way we wish only good things to happen to us is the same way we should wish ONLY GOOD for our neighbors (freinds and foe). But sadly most Christians today dont read about this passage since it has nothing to do with making money or receiving blessing.


Trust me it works, you can easily love your neighbors (freinds and foes) as yourself same way Christ loved us and died for our sins eventho we didn't deserve this type of love.


All you have to do is to accept Christ into your life and the spirit of love will flow through you smiley

Of course. wishing for good things is very easy, wishing for anything can be done by anyone anywhere which makes your explanation lack sense. if all it takes to love myself is wishing then good

Well you can chose to read what I wrote up side down, it's actually none of my business, but let me ask you, if your child wished you harm, does it mean that your child hate or loves you ?

Better oo, it is good that way at least if she has any bad intentions where you are, it will backfire because your hands are clean.
