Re: Love - what is Love?
Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD
> Love - what is Love?
The Holy Spirit guides me to write the following...
There are two kinds:
(1) Love from others.
(2) Love from GOD.
The former is like regular water that after drinking, one will still
become thirsty again.
The latter is our LORD's living water that after drinking, one will
never thirst again.
"...whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the
water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to
eternal life." -- LORD Jesus Christ (John 4:14)
Love of either kind holds everything in the universe together and feeds
our souls keeping our souls from thirsting and dying.
However, GOD's love is the living water that our LORD told the
Samaritan woman about by Jacob's well (John 4:10).
This was what the Samaritan woman needed because the love she received
from her many male partners left her thirsty.
LORD Jesus Christ is the Source of this living water. HE is the Fount
of living water.
Christ Jesus as the Son of GOD is the Heart of GOD.
Just as our hearts are our source of love for others, Christ Jesus is
GOD's source of love for us.
When we give GOD our love, we are giving HIM our firstfruits from our
hearts.
Our sinful nature would have us be selfish and not give our love to GOD
and others but to hoard it for our souls.
Indeed, before being reborn of water (living water) and the Holy
Spirit, before drinking our LORD's living water, the amount of love in
our hearts was finite.
We would have run out ! ! !

WIthout the Holy Spirit, your question would have been unanswerable.
> Is love an emotion?
No.
> A feeling of well-being?
No.
> Or is it more?
It is something else. See above.
> What is it for different people?
No.
> Do they all agree on what it is?
Most don't realize what love is.
Those of this world define love is its shortsighted terms ...
"Love is a many-splendored thing."
> What is God's love?
See above.
It is Christ Jesus' living water.
> What does it mean for us and our lives?
See above.
It is GOD's gift of eternal life.

Yes, if one is without GOD's love.

By choice through the free will that GOD has generously given each of
us to obey HIM.

May our LORD's peace be with you, dear sister Vera.

A firm grasp on reality obviates the need for belief.
Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD
Without beliefs there is no grasp of reality.
"There are many participating in these usenet newgroups whose hearts
are
black with hate and nearly completely devoid of love. In their hatred,
they latch themselves onto us, the brethren of Christ, in a desperate
attempt to drain us of the love that we have in our hearts.
This is why many of us feel the need to take a break from our
interactions with you and your ilk in order for our supply of love to
regenerate. The closer our walk with Christ Jesus, the quicker our
hearts refill with HIS love. "

I did not use the word 'in'. This gives the sentence a different
meaning, the stops indicate that the sentence is incomplete, the rest
of it is clear to the genuinely discerning (not you).

Fuckwit is a description, not name-calling. Look it up in the
dictionary.
Resorting to homespun platitudes you made up does not mark you out as
intellectually superior to anyone, just desperate, isolated and weird.
You lack certain basic human attributes that would allow you to
identify and solve your problems. Who, then, is 'lost'?

You certainly have a point. When I went to visit a manic-depressive
friend of mine in hospital, there was a fellow patient there who
insisted, and I quote, "The only reason I am in here is because I was
telling people about God". Given that in order to be sectioned, a
patient must be regarded as a danger to themselves or others, one can
easily imagine how he was going about it!
Pastor Kutchie
Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD
Even so.
There are many words listed in the OED that can be used for
name-calling.
It is the context/use of the word and not the word itself that
determines whether it is name-calling.

We are to love even those who hate us just as Christ Jesus loves those
who hate HIM so much HE prayed from them while suffering and dying
horribly on the cross. This is possible only when we have HIS love
(HIS living water) in our hearts so that we are no longer wanting for
love.
