...regarding the fact that we love more those who hurt us (not insult us). an could we see this as love doing "harm" to the one we love knowingly this is the only way to make him change it's point of view on the GOOD and the BAD. or u think that GOOD comes only thru GOOD

yes i think we should learn a lesson and be hurt first to be able to see what were doin wrong... and people are like that we are all numb when it comes to others feelings, we need to be hit first with a big rock!and you know,people are people,we are all just the same we just hate to admit it!

well coming from a man, im not saying he isnt lying, but usually when we lie its so we dont hurt the person we love, or because  our spouse will kick our ass!  we're made from a different cloth, some smooth some rough,but you have to take the good with the bad. sounds like he needs to grow up a little though.

I'm glad you brought this subject up.\nYour message is the same message that I've been trying to get across to a certain guy. \nHate generally happens because of differences... & we do reap what we sow (sometimes, we even receive/reap what others are sowing... whether it's good or bad).\nMistreatment... just because of differences... is generally what causes hate-wars.\nWe can CHOOSE to LOVE... or we can CHOOSE to HATE.\nI want to love & be loved.

I'm not sure that love always leans one way or the other. Peoples perception of love varies to where in their heart and soul they feel they are on equal ground. I do, how ever, think that one persons commitment to a relationship could be stronger which may be viewed as showing more love than the other and will probably be the one who suffers the most if the relationship does end.

yes..i guess when a person is in love, he/she tends to ask many questions even though it's hard to give an answer.. They say that love  is blind but love is not blind.. it sees more and because it can see more, it is  willing to see less..

Loving someone is more rational, you are more aware of their good and bad points and love them anyway.  Falling in love isn't rational, you only see the good, you don't see them in all their humaness.

I have to agree with the previous poster that no, Christians do not love as they ought.\nThe fact that we fail however, does not negate the commandment, or mean that we don't make it our goal in life to love even our enemies with a perfect love.\n\nNow, this begs a question, what does loving your enemy look like in real life? Does loving your enemy mean that you put yourself in harms way by trusting them not to hurt you? I don't think so. Does it mean to have warm gooshy feelings for them? again, I don't think so.\nLoving your enemy means that you wish the best for them, as a Christian, the best we could possibly wish for someone is that they too would come into the relationship with God that we enjoy. If that is rejected, the next best thing is that they enjoy good things in this life because they will surely have nothing to enjoy in the afterlife. (Luke 16:19-31) Not only does loving your enemy mean that you wish the best for them, but it also means that you activly engage in things that will directly benefit them.\nIn the case of Bin Laden, I also have to weigh out the fact that I am commanded to love the other 6 Billion people on the planet, and since Bin Laden is actively engaged in harming many people (he has never done anything against me personally), I should support efforts to express love to my fellow-man by putting a stop to Bin Laden's activities.\nPersonally, I desire to see Bin Laden come to a saving and redeeming knowledge of Jesus Christ, but failing that, or until that happens, the most loving thing I can do is desire to his terrorist activities halted by whatever means possible.

loving a person is accepting them for who they are, being in love with them is a type of worship that is hard to maintain...just my opion but i like to beleive that was the easiest way to explain it...

You can't change other people, especially if they don't wanna be changed. Good people are out there, and true unconditional love DOES exist, but nowadays people are really selfish and out for themselves.

Being a Christian I strive to do just that. It's not easy. I think you become a hypocrite if you are not trying to love everyone on earth. I choose to try to act in a loving way toward all that I come into contact with. I often fall short of that. But I keep on trying.

I think i agree with you on this one, Christian should have more loves and understand for this kind of issue, they shouldn't condemn directly without knowing detail or why or give more understanding to the related people so at least they have time to learn or decide what they wish to do for both side.\n\nNo matter we accept or not, the world has changed...It didn't mean we do changed by the world, but we may need to learn how to balance ourselves so we can find the best possible way to help or cares about those that they are "different"!

some people don't know how to show love, mainly because of the way they were raised, but that doesn't mean they don't love.  The best thing to do is to talk to them about this it is always better to ask a question and get an answer, then to dwell on assumptions.  GL

Love is like a double-edged sword.  It's not healthy to have a one-sided relationship. I'd prefer the love to be on both sides

Hello Hugo.. :)\n\nNo..Jesus told us we are to Love our enemies..we are not to repay evil for evil..\n\nIf this was so, then Paul (Saul) would have been killed and not forgiven..for he advocated the killing of hundreds of Christians, before Christ appeared unto him..\n\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..In Christ.. :)

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing but I say that you are hurting someone ... it is yourself since you have to question you motives and you love this person.

There is real love. I have been attached to or dependent on  people that I didn't necessarily love. I have called these experiences love out of desperation, but I have also felt true love for others. I just haven't often had it returned. I've had people swear that they did love me, but it was more need than anything--you can tell who does and does not love you by refusing to be a door mat. The ones who remain love you.
