I thought that perhaps the title of this bulletin board was just a joke. I thought perhaps there would be some people here that are actually seeking for Truth. There are some, but sadly the majority of threads I read here are littered with vain arguments, slander, cursing, violence, strife, ignorance, selfishness, self-righteousness, hatred pride, condemnation, and all manner of ugly and vile conversation.
This message is a call to those out there who truly wish to find the Truth, and wish to help point each other there, building on one another's love, knowledge and experience to gain and give better understanding about the meaning of life and all of it's implications.
This message is also a call to all of those who argue spitefully, mocking one an other, belittling one an other and tearing eachother down. If you have or have ever had a true and good intention in these discussions, please turn away from your ugly words, your hatefull thoughts, your mocking and scorning and come back to the real reason why you are interested in these matters at all. Surely the reason isn't so that you can prove yourself right and put everyone else down, is it?
This message is for anyone who believes that if we don't have Love in our heart we have nothing. For anyone who really believes and lives by this principal I'd like to ask:
What is love? How can it be shown or proven? What are it's characteristics, and manifestations in physical reality?
I think this is a good question to ask first When seeking Truth or seeking God. If God is worth finding at all, He will be the source of all true Love, so if we start really thinking about what Love is and what Love isn't, maybe it will get us closer to knowing who or what is the True God.
I'd love to her your thoughts and ideas about Love, and your answers to the specific questions I asked.
Thanks for reading this I hope we Can have some blessed conversation.
Grace and Peace to you all,
Joshua
