Eating too much ice cream isn't loving yourself properly... — matt
Love thy neighbor as thyself" Do we must do it or no? What do you think about it? — Artie
neighbor — Artie
Do we must do it or no? — Artie
Pondering whether one should or can obey these directions involves keeping them together as they were given as an answer to the legal expert who asked: "Teacher, which commandment in the Law is the greatest?" — Valentinus
Jesus wasn't talking about romantic love, or mother-child love, or eros; it's agape he was talking about. — Bitter Crank
"Love thy neighbor as thyself" — Artie
Yes, I absolutely agree with you. Sigmund Freud wrote in his book:"All feelings and relations which we appraise in the life as: sympathy, friendship, trust and ect. Genetically related with the sexeness and start to arise only by reason of sexual attraction, more precisely by reason of attenuation sexual attraction to the object but in our subconscious it seems pure and deprived sexual feelings." On this basis, I can say that people very egoistic and doesn't can love neighbor as thyself. And I support the philosophy Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche.Man is inherently egoistic — NuncAmissa
Is it possible for us to fulfill Christ's commandments? If not, why? — NuncAmissa
then the man is in grave error regardless of his good intentions. — NuncAmissa
However, this provides us with an extremely troubling idea: If I were to have good intentions in loving my neighbor as I love myself though I have caused harm onto him, then I have still done a good deed. — NuncAmissa
Will he allow Amanda to seek lawful justice though it may cause Kyle harm, or will Steve allow Amanda to take Kyle away for a lawful trial? — NuncAmissa
Christ's commandment be dynamic; it not obliging humans to execute the commandment in a perfect manner. And this is the idea that I gained from your concept of "Righteousness and Good Intent." — NuncAmissa
So what happened to those people in Hell? Why didn't their sins transfer to Jesus? — NuncAmissa
Why did God, who LOVES us with no known bounds, not simply remove it, but instead causes HIS OWN SON to be in pain? — NuncAmissa
^HIS OWN SON to be in pain? — NuncAmissa
Why should Mark take the blame for the sin of Matthew? — NuncAmissa
Why did God's laws apply to Humans? After all, they are unattainable. Yes, it is still righteous to follow this laws, but why should humans gain sin from not following — NuncAmissa
That's why Philosopher, Politician, And Parent have trouble with a concept called "Freedom To Choose" — diesynyang
To remove it, mean God will become a Corrupted God/Judge (To simple remove one fault) (Is so cool when you realized the concept modern of Court Law and Justice Theory, is really similar to The Bible who are written in ancient time. To be Right, He must ask for "Payment" — diesynyang
The Son knows he can withstand it (Again, The Bible is so weird because that Prediction of The Son will be killed already been prophecies since Genesis). It is the best decision right? — diesynyang
The Question of why is God so unloving become somewhat shallow compare to Why is God so Loving. — diesynyang
Why shouldn't? If your friend steal something because he is poor, and he have to pay a lot of money to pay for his crime. A money that he couldn't pay. If you have a lot of money, wouldn't you asked the judge to pay for your friend crimes? (Btw, people do this all the time :D) . But if you're asking why? it is because Mark love Mathew, and Mark has CONSENTED to do this. — diesynyang
Why shouldn't it, it really takes us back to that elusive concept of "Freedom". I think The Christian God has an ethical first problem as so. — diesynyang
A Being can be free to choose what is Good and what is Evil — diesynyang
Please elaborate. — NuncAmissa
"Corrupt Judge" is better than an idle God who allows pain and suffering to enter the world due to sin. — NuncAmissa
^ I agree :D"Punishment or Payment" — NuncAmissa
I think not. Seeing that only the Son can withstand it, that mean God's legal system as a judge is inherently shaky. After all, a morally sound legal system would only give punishments that people are capable of taking. Look, in a modern legal system, there is hope for rehabilitation. It is a fundamental pillar of Criminal Justice. But in God's law, humans can not gain this "rehabilitation" and "betterment" because they can not escape this overbearing punishment that only the Son can persevere in.
Should God not just lower it to humane standards? — NuncAmissa
Where is his compassion? A moral judge would not send Steve to work in the salt mines for the rest of eternity for simply masturbating. — NuncAmissa
Even if your son wanted to kill himself, shouldn't you, as a loving parent, stop him? Please explain? — NuncAmissa
^ The Christian believe, He indeed takes all Sins, Because that was the plan dude. He is the one that is able. Why God doesn't go to hell? Hmmmm maybe because God's value is higher than Sin value, so that He was able to pay for them, without losing all his money (You get the gist of it).And I don't think Jesus got the whole punishment? — NuncAmissa
Isn't that also a problem? — NuncAmissa
But don't you think Free Will in itself is the source of all evil? It allowed chaos to happen in the first place. — NuncAmissa
You are FORCED to do what is good in fear — NuncAmissa
Humans still suffer from the effects of God's punishment before Christ coming. — NuncAmissa
But, It seem people tend to do B than A. — diesynyang
