    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.

      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?

      In jesus' absence.... LOL.. obviously jesus has some power to "escape the cross" as you put it paar... so how come jesus allowed himself to be absent while this misnomer of christianity was being perpetuated by paul and the church.

        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."

      Love has different connotations and meaning; not very suitable to explain realtionship between the Creator-God and the human beings.

      The better word is mercy or grace:

      [1:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

              No. I think he had a role in that part of the world in their context. A prophet is a messenger. Now we may not agree with the message because we are not in that mindset, but at the time mohammed brought order to the beduoins.

              "Gabriel spoon-fed him"

              Gabriel is angel of truth. Truth spoon-fed Mohammed. He spoke from what was true to him.

                  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?

                    I'm not actually saying anyone is a prophet. I simply thought you were using the term prophet as it is normally defined. I was somewhat shocked you considered Mohamed to fit the bill. If you define it this way, ok. Sounds more than reasonable.

                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? smile

          [20:5] And a revelation from Him Who created the earth and the high heavens.
          [20:6] He is the Gracious God Who has settled Himself on the Throne.
          [20:7] To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and whatsoever is between them, and whatsoever is beneath the moist subsoil.
          [20:8] And if thou speakest aloud, it makes no difference, for He knows the secret thought and what is yet more hidden.
          [20:9] Allah — there is no God but He. His are the most beautiful names.

        [8] He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.

        [9] By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him. [10] In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

    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?

          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.

      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,

    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.
