I hate how everyone bandies around this word "Love" like we all know what it is. I may join you in looking insane or stupid here, but I haven't got a clue what it means to love unconditionally, only what it feels like and it isn't a feeling that comes around that often.

In particular, a number act that it's more important to get others to say that they "believe" and put themselves as superior thereby than acting on the instructions themselves.

Sorry for this "one liner", but I might have a point?

If we wanted to show unconditional love to a group of children, would we
set up some horrible torture show and conflagration amongst them, and
then tell a small few of them that they have to be unconditionally loving, and
do it in a way such that none of the others would be able to see it or verify it?
ET can start by being an example, and a loving teacher to all, not a manipulative cruel jerk to most and informative to an apparently tiny few.

I don't think that there can be a world where only Good can exist or Bad. These 2 concepts will always stay together. And united they become God, maybe.

I guess we do not know the true meaning of Good and Evil. And all this battle over Earth will never end. But great souls will emerge from this battle. Since time is just an illusion for us then there is no end, the end might not be related to time. Imagine a world were time is not present. How can things begin and end there? And the true God is beyond time.

Now this is a question I always ask those hardcore religiously absorbed people...If there is a person who never devotes time to an organized religion, but devotes alot of time to others, helping people when they need help, taking in an injured stray cat to help mend its wounds, opens doors for the elderly, always has a smile for somebody else, and gives their money to people who need it, will they suffer the pain and torture of the rapture? What is their answer? Yes, simply because they havent accepted God into their life, makes me want to hurt them almost.
Will this person I described here be taken into the safety of these spaceships when the rapture comes?
Another thing, you only speak of humans when talking about expressing love, what about animals, and all the other organisms living and sharing this planet with us? Will the rapture save them? Should we express love to those Beings as well?

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I am still of the opinion that even if this was true, it just doesn't matter. Your soul will still continue to reincarnate and learn, you just take much longer to "evolve" than those who grasp the concept of love now. So, in summary, if I'm here and my head gets bitten off by a 15 foot monster....so what?
Just an opinion.

Hasn't everyone? Actually, I consider myself very fortunate when you look at the conditions the vast majority of the population of the Earth has to endure
Originally posted by yeahrightSure, I'll aid a random stranger in distress when I can, but that doesn't mean I love them.
Am I splitting hairs here? To me love's a pretty serious thing and I think the word is bandied about too capriciously by many (not saying you) without a true understanding of what it means. And maybe it's just me. I can't choose who to love. I either do, or I don't.
Anyway, thanks for your response and overall contributions. When the time comes, I'll be taking out at least a couple of those 15' headbiters. Me and my ol' buddy, Monty.
