| = feelings... | Romulus Campan Maramuresanu [05.Jun.07 18:56] |
| Right emotions, painful reality, wrong conclusion. Between Creation and today, WE worked out the Fall, causing all horrors stated above. God just allows what WE asked for. Because He is righteous and fair. | |

| Are you righteous and fair? I suppose you are. Would you let your child die? I know it sounds stupid. But think about it. | |
| = childhood vs. adulthood... | Romulus Campan Maramuresanu [05.Jun.07 19:28] |
| My little child who cannot decide for himself, no, of course. But my adult one, who just doesn't want to listen anymore and leaves..., what can I do? God did the same... | |
| = a little faith | dan [05.Jun.07 21:13] |
| we guess we all solve this "problem" our own way. some of us believe, some don't. in the end, you just need a little faith, right? | |
| = the who... | Romulus Campan Maramuresanu [05.Jun.07 21:11] |
| It all depends on WHO is the object of your faith... | |
| = love | dan [05.Jun.07 21:36] |
| love is the object of my faith. because of all lies, it is most true. there is no God, sir. there's only love. | |
| = which love? | Romulus Campan Maramuresanu [06.Jun.07 10:43] |
| Even Plato recognized that a "love" without a perfect model, thus without a regulative principle, it's not desirable. Hitler "loved" his nation so much... | |
| = answer | dan [06.Jun.07 13:31] |
| I guess it's easier to find a "regulative principle" for murder than for love. Love does not need an institution to lean against. It can not be institutionalised :) There's no ministry of love now is there? Well not since 1984... at least. Love does not need doctrine, leadership... or hierarchy. Hitler's love for his nation...Now that's a trick question. Words are beautiful.. aren't they? They can lean and bend and twist and turn :) ok. here's my answer. Jesus sacrificed himself for mankind. We sacrfice lambs for the Easter feast. Now tell me about sacrifice. | |
| = sacrifice... | Romulus Campan Maramuresanu [06.Jun.07 18:24] |
| You see, we pervert love. Jesus NEVER told us to sacrifice lambs... He was the LAST sacrifice. With Him Temple sacrifices came to a sharp end. We shouldn't be killing lambs, other than for food. Love doesn't need regulation? You see what happened for the past 2000 years because we failed to love Jesus as he demanded? And it's more than lambs... So much more. You see, my emotions would have told me to ignore you after failing to apologise for calling me the way you did. But Christ said I should love you nevertheless... So I do, Dan, so I do... Because love needs regulation. | |

| Didn't Christ also tell you to get my text out of the workshop? Just kidding :) "You see what happened for the past 2000 years because we failed to love Jesus as he demanded?" I thing we failed to love each other. You see.. some people find it easier to love Jesus than to love their neighbour. As for killing lambs for food... that's wrong too. Man is a wonderful perverted creature :) I see these weary young men, stuck in traffic, all dressed up "to kill", working their way up (not that particular up.. but a rather down-ish one :) and I think to myself .. are these God's children? Because if they are... well then God is indeed great and merciful. How can you make these people love each other? I do not know. Priests fail because they deliver "the pill that makes the pain laughing". Come to us and you will no longer fear life, death and your fellow men. Tutea said "an old peasant that truly believes in God will walk into a graveyard laughing". Gotta go now.. Gotta hunt a little. Gotta make the rat race all worthwile :) | |
