What is Christian Love

Paul and the Church founded the Christian Religion; and it started by a fiction; the Father Killing a Son; so cruelty is the theme of the Christian Religion; not love.

Love is just to allure the common people to the fold of the Church or churchianity.

Jesus had got nothing to do with this religion that Paul and the Church founded while Jesus had gone to India after when he escaped from a cursed killing on the cross; in Jesus' absence they started this misnomer in his name"Christ", only to mislead the people.

Um, if the OP said something like 'what makes one an Ahmadi muslim' that would be a pretty good answer.

  Paar you lie here with that reference. The exact quote was that you weren't addressing the question asked by the OP. Is it the teaching of your faith to lie? This appears to be the point you are making. I suppose since most religionists agree that if a person lies they cannot be a prophet of a god; I would assume it would follow that if the philosophy included a belief that it is ok for the followers to lie, that makes the false prophet a lier also? I don't know. Seems to me that follows. What do you think?

  Jesus was a Son of Man/woman; he had no power.
  
  So Paul and the Anti-Christ flourished; though Jesus has forwarned the sheep beforhand of Paul's nasty doings:
  
  "Paul of Tarsus: A wolf in sheeps clothing
  
  While he was alive, In the flesh, Jesus warned us to beware of wolves in sheeps clothing.
  
  Jacob prophesied: "Benjamen shall ravin as a wolf ". Jesus warned us to beware of Benjamites entering into the sheepfold.
  
  Sheep do not kill. Wolves do. Jesus warned us to beware of killers who enter into the church and teach doctrines of killing and sacrifice.
  
  He also told us to beware of the leavenof the Pharisees. Leaven takes a small measure of grain and greatly expands it. When Jesus fed the 5000 in the wilderness he showed us a living parable of the leaven of the Pharisees. He handed out a few loaves and fishes, representing his few commandments, and when they returned to him, they had multiplied and expanded into 12 baskets full of refuse, unusable doctrine.
  
  Paul was a Pharisee, of the tribe of Benjamen, a self confessed murderer of the saints, who greatly expanded upon the words of Christ. He was the one Jesus warned us about. He taught many things that Christ did not teach.
  
  John went out with Paul, to try him, and when he saw Paul do the works of darkness, and curse and blind a man, John parted company with him. He understood that Christ came to give men sight, not to blind them. He understood that Paul did the works of darkness, and not the works of light.
  
  Paul laments that ALL the churches of Asia have rejected him. The book of Revelation is written to the 7 churches of Asia, that rejected Paul, and one letter says: I know you have tried them that say they are apostles but are not, and you have found them liars.
  
  Pauls doctrine is his own, and not Christ's, neither can these two gospels be reconciled."

  you can disagree of course but i will belabor that a belief in a prophet denotes a belief in tadah a God that actually chooses real prophets.
  
  I define prophet as they are in mundane terms, a man with a message he believes came from God that offers transcendence.
  
  How could you say Jesus is a real prophet and Mohammed not.When Jesus is supposedly NOT a prophet but a son of G-d. Buddha is not a prophet because he is an ascended master.
  
  As a matter of fact, Mohammed is a prophet, like Isaiah because he bears a message from G-d.
  
  Jesus and Buddha however are masters. They are God in man. Do you see the distinction?

  Well it is your mistake or your misunderstanding. You should not deny the greatest of them:
  
  "Not possible to refuse Muhammad rationally: Analyzing William Montgomery Watt"
  
  William Montgomery Watt called Muhammad, may peace be on him, 'one of the greatest sons of Adam,' he regarded the Holy Quran as divinely inspired, though not infallible, yet he continued to be an apologist for Christianity all his life. Is there any rational way to reconcile Watt's views?
  
  The more we study Watt and other reasonable Christian Orientalists, it seems that only way to deny prophethood of Muhammad, is to have an irrational animosity against him, like the medieval Christians or a deceptive approach of constantly shifting sands! Propping up necessary illusions against the greatest champion for humanity and propaganda seem to be the only way to sustain denial of Muhammad. This Google Knol is dedicated to analyzing person and writings of William Montgomery Watt.
  
  Any interpretation of individual incidents of the prophet Muhammad's life that is not consistent with his well established achievements and well documented developments of his life, completely violates the principles of history. It is an obligation of every historian to give the readers a plausible and a consistent account of the person they write about. Unfortunately, when it comes to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, many Christian writers are unable to rise above the centuries of medieval prejudices against him that the Catholic Church had cultivated in the times of crusades. This introduces numerous contradictions in their writings and in my opinion William Montgomery Watt is a prime example of this phenomenon.
  
  If my knols are boring to you, it may be that you need to read more of them, as was suggested by John Cage, "If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."

  In the bible there are the major and minor prophets. Being prophetic, in biblical terms, was bringing a message of admonishment to the people of God. They were there to correct a people that were going off the rails. Neither of the people you mentioned were considered one of the prophets of the bible.
  You may define prophet differently than the bible does, and that's fine. I'm just saying that using these two instead of, say, Isaiah or Malachi, to mention just a couple, will cause some strict bible adherents to wince.
  Personally, you name whoever you like and the earth will still turn for me.

  There are no major or minor prophets; the important issue is ; are they sent with a Message from the Creator-God? If yes, then they are prophets messengers of Him. There are Law bearing prophets like Moses and there are prophets who are not Law bearing like Jesus who follow the Law of Moses; but every one is truthful:
  
  [2:254] These Messengers have We exalted, some of them above others: among them there are those to whom Allah spoke; and some of them He exalted by degrees of rank. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and strengthened him with the Spirit of holiness. And if Allah had so willed, those that came after them would not have fought with one another after clear Signs had come to them; but they did disagree. Of them were some who believed, and of them were some who disbelieved. And if Allah had so willed, they would not have fought with one another; but Allah does what He desires.

And you know, I've been thinking about it. The truth is, words have so many definitions and we seem to get confused when we're talking, so I've decided to use a specific definition for words that cause confusion.
  
  Mohamed was definitely a guy with an idea.

  Notwithstanding the later sentence mentioned above; one could improve the definition:
  
  Noah or Noe
  
  From Quran:
  
  [10:72] And recite unto them the story of Noah, when he said to his people, ‘O my people, if my station with God and my reminding you of your duty through the Signs of Allah offend you — and in Allah do I put my trust — muster then all your designs, you and your ‘partners’; then let not your course of action be obscure to you; then carry out your designs against me and give me no respite.
  [10:73] ‘But if you turn back, remember, I have not asked of you any reward. My reward is with Allah alone, and I have been commanded to be of those who are resigned to Him.’
  http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … p;verse=71
  
  Noah or Noe
  From Bible
  
  [11] And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity. [12] And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth,) [13] He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth. [14] Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without. [15] And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
  http://www.drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1& … &f=s#x
  
  So by reading the above from Quran and Bible ; pleae tell us if Noah had an idea from his own self or a Message from the Creator-God that he wanted to tell the people to save them from disaster.

  That is for the definition of a prophet or messenger.
  
  Muhammad had not intention or idea until the Creator-God chose him to deliver a message to the people; like He chose Noah or Jonah.
  
  So Muhammad was a truthful prophet like Noah or Jonah or any other before him:
  
  [46:10] Say, ‘I am no new Messenger, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you in this life. I do but follow what is revealed to me; and I am but a plain Warner.’
  [46:11] Say, ‘Tell me, if this is from Allah and you disbelieve therein, and a witness from among the children of Israel bears witness to the advent of one like him, and he believed, but you are too proud, how should you fare?’ Verily, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.

  If you insist on the word idea; then the idea was from the Creator-God; He chose Muhammad with a Word from His mouth to deliver it to the people.
  
  The idea came from the Creator-God; Muhammad was not self-motivated; he just obeyed Him.
  
  Muhammad was a truthful, selfless prophet.

  Paarsurrey, from the Scriptures you have used from the Old Testament Bible, Noah was told what to do by God - to build an ark, not to (further) waste his time with the wicked people who had already decided to follow corruption. God had made a decision, and He carried it out through His servant (and child) Noah.
  What the Islamic Scripture says, seems to be different, because why would God have to "convince" an already obedient servant?
  I think He strived with the other wicked ones (even also through Noah) to warn them of their paths of destruction for some time, but "the Spirit will not always strive with man" (2nd Nephi 26:11) ... Eventually, God takes the action (or causes the action) upon the souls who would frustrate His plans (for His children - because He needs nothing). Therefore, the record of the Great Flood is evidence (a sign) of a God who will not be mocked, and will not allow His plans to be frustrated.

  Well yes, if one were to be so puerile in character and elementary in thinking, they may very well deny that Muhammad's words were the words of Allah based entirely on an "irrational animosity or illusions and propaganda" however, many choose also to invoke logic, reason, rationale, evidence, critical thinking and a host of other tools in analyzing the claims and words of Muhammad, none of which were mentioned.

  How are we to rationalize this contradiction?
  
  What does your mindset have to do with anything? As you say, "Gabriel is angel of truth. Truth spoon-fed Mohammed."
  
  In other words, they were words of truth from a god delivered by an angel, hence are words you must live by if you believe in gods.
  
  If you use the argument that your mindset does not agree with those words, then you are disagreeing with the words of a god and are hence sinning.
  
  How do you justify your dilemma without invoking what you want to believe as opposed to what you are supposed to believe as ordered by gods?

Hey Paar, let me ask you a question.

Nevermind "christian love"- but just Love.

I reject "christian love", because it's associated with "godly love" or "god is love" or "love comes from god", which is actually a joke.

Love itself - Teachings lead people to believe that they must love themselves before they love others, but are to love others.

Love itself - Is show in actions of the individual, it speaks about how they love themselves and how they love others.

So, that leaves me with my question- Would you die for a complete stranger?

Please remember, to do so, requires full conscious awareness of the consequences. But would you give your life up for a complete stranger?

Christian religion starts with mythical killing by a father a son;a very bad start and a role model; and then they preach love.

Is it not weird?

  No-one is interested.
  Why do you try to revive these useless threads?
  You should just write hubs. I notice you only have two.
  
  I see, you probably wouldn't get many readers. I guess that explains everything.

  So, you support that Christianity should live in myths. Why?

  This is why your religion causes so many conflicts.

  The people of Islam is also right in the thick of its myths living it as though they were literal truths. Covering the women to hide a man's lust. Banning alcohol to control man's vices. It is all external control and no internal understanding of Mohammad's teachings. Mohammad was teaching respect for women and encouraging clear-thinking. His followers misunderstood.
  
  A true muslim does not need to cover a woman's face and body.
  A true muslim would not be drunk in the presence of so much wine.
  A true muslim would see a Christian as his brother in Allah.
  
  Stop your war-mongering and be a true Muslim.

  No more weird than Muhammad starting wars and his followers conquering most of the known world killing everyone in their path who didn't accept Islam.
  
  And, then they preach peace. How weird is that?

Not to poke the bear...but a Prophet/ess is nothing more than a "seer" who is believed to have received thier message from a divine source.

  A person with a Message from the Creator-God Allah YHWH is called a messenger or prophet in the Revealed Religion:
  
  [72:27] He* is the Knower of the unseen; and He reveals not His secrets to any one,
  [72:28] Except to him whom He* chooses, namely a Messenger of His. And then He causes an escort of guarding angels to go before him and behind him,
  [72:29] That He may know that they (His Messengers) have delivered the Messages of their Lord. And He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things.

  I agree with you.
  
  Our friend "just curious" took it as if idea was the essence of your argument; message is the more proper word that is why the prophets are called messengers of the Creator-God also.
  
  Not a point of conflict

He may have had a message of correction, but noone who heard him would survive to act on them. Prophets were to bring people back to proper living. That was clearly not Noah's purpose.

John 14-
23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

Jesus was sent by God the FATHER for the salvation of mankind.

What is Christian Love

Paul and the Church founded the Christian Religion; and it started by a fiction; the Father Killing a Son; so cruelty is the theme of the Christian Religion; not love.

Love is just to allure the common people to the fold of the Church or churchianity.

Jesus had got nothing to do with this religion that Paul and the Church founded while Jesus had gone to India after when he escaped from a cursed killing on the cross; in Jesus' absence they started this misnomer in his name"Christ", only to mislead the people.
