sama sa akong giingun, God's love is unconditional but Salvation is.
anyway, at least we are now able to establish that God's love is unconditional..hehehe unconditional in the sense that it does not choose race, disability, social standing and everything else..
kanang imung giingun nga obedience ug uban pa..that's for Salvation..that's where the conditions come in...mao ra nay punto nako bai..
wa may mausab sa Ginoo kung di ta musimba or mutuo niya, Ginoo man gihapun na..so God does not need His love to be reciprocated..when God says, do this or do that..it's for you and everyone else's salvation bai. because without God, there's only damnation..
No not really, i couldn't really care much, just here to do away with my extra time.. cause you know, work is harassing my mentality, so somehow i needed an outlet to kick-start it anew..
i didnt really mean it like that.. what i simply said is that his love is not ultimately without conditions, period, you know what i mean.. but of course if you think of it too deeply and ponder on it long enough you'd get all sorts of conclusions..
exactly, though we may interpret it as unconditional, but the fact of the matter is that it commands to be reciprocated, whether for salvation or whatnot.. and that, in my standards, is not unconditional..
nope, i'm afraid you got it all twisted bai, it should be like this, "I love you, that's why i paved the way for your salvation, i will reveal to you the ways for you to have that salvation, most of all i love you enough to let you decide on your own will even if your decision might break my heart..so i am giving you the will to choose between Life and Death"..karun kung di nimu pilion ang Ginoo? gi unsa gud intawn pagka wa niya naghigugma sa imu nga ikaw man muy wala nahigugma niya? this too is pretty elementary.. LOL
lol.. that's just a euphemism from what i said..
"i love you, but if you still do what you please, then its not my fault if i send you in this place i created for disobedient people like you, im washing my hands" - this statement, and your statement, and my statement before, may be different in tone, but talks about the same subject that proves the same thing... that twisted, and wicked notion of Christian salvation..
i'm sure you know what "indulgence" is. Perhaps it's the only way that they may know salvation despite of their disobedience..and the children as tragically one of the earliest martyrs..
you familiar with the biblical story about Jesus preaching to the imprisoned spirits just before He resurrected?
those spirits were the ones who disobeyed God, whose earthly lives perished in the flood..just like the people in sodom and gomorrah, in canaan and others because of their disobedience and Sin.
were they condemned eternally? No..otherwise Jesus wouldn't have come to them proclaiming about Salvation..loosing one's earthly life is far more better than to loose one's eternal soul in eternal damnation.. sometimes, death can be the only indulgence, in the same manner that Christ has to die in our bahalf so that we may know salvation..
lol.. they mustve been around in hell, for what, 2000 years?.. what for the mere fact that they rejected god? for drinking too much? for committing adultery?.. lol.. dont try to tell me they deserved to be burned in hell that long just because of those medial sins.. do your god really expects that makes them love him even more? what happened to his "throw a bread" philosophy? LOL.. well he should know better., you should know better..
by the way, kinsa nga bald insecure prophet imung pasabut bai? LOL
Elisha..
Love that simply gave up? what better fight could there be? nakasala imung anak, dunay balaod against it and corresponding punishment for such a crime..unsa pa man diayng klase nga fight imung gipangita?
so you'd rather let your son escape? knowing that he committed a crime? so unsaon naman lang tong gi rape ug gipatay niya? unsaon naman lang ang pamilya ato who seeks justice?
so kay love nimu imung anak, you'd let justice slip away? is this your idea of unconditional Love? doing away righteousness, justice and fairness for the sake of saving yourself from misery for doing the right thing? with all due respect i call that selfishness.
point is, we're able to establish that handing your son to the authorities does not diminish your Love for him. that my friend can be related to why God's love for you does not diminish even if it reaches to a point that you'll have to suffer the loss of your disbelief. God will let you go by the time that He should even if it breaks His heart but only because you wanted Him to..bottom line, imu nang decision..
i didnt say not make him pay for his wrongdoing.. im just saying that death penalty is too much a punishment for his crime.. cause i am in the understanding that life is not for us to take.. kung makarape akong anak, would death penalty be a fitting punishment for him? you think so but i dont... that is why under the auspices of our law, i will fight for the right that he may not be put to death because there is no such thing written in our legal system anymore.. life imprisonment yes, but death penalty i dont think so... for a court to impose death on my son would be a sham and illegal, a legal and moral atrocity,.. and for you to think that just shows how morally wrong you are... you have to give me a good example..
sayon rana bay noy, nakakita kog loophole sa inyong systema.. i will send my son to church, and change him through the intercession of the holy spirit and have him confess, and all his sins shall be forgiven, your church does not account for the victim however, as to what happens to her and her family, aw naa rna nila kong ilang mapasaylo akong anak, cause if they cant, aw silay mapaig sa impyerno (bwahahaha)... i will surely burn in hell for doing so, but at least my son will be saved, though not in this world, but in heaven... lol...
the intention and the length of time the offer would last are beside the point bai, i know what you mean by resources..kay ang free check up mag depend sa resources sa doctor..as well as intentions pud kay basin they're doing it out of obligation blah blah blah..i need you to set aside those things usa...
ang point diri is a certain doctor is offering a FREE CHECK UP regardless of who and what kind of patient there is..kana ra..the thought of this example lies on the part nga walay gipili ang doctor kung kinsay magpacheck up..
so is the doctor's offer unconditional?
of course its already unconditional, because you set aside the conditions.. lol..
So in general you are expressing a point of unconditionality where it simply meant nga gugma nga walay gipili, race, color, social status etc., thats indiscriminate love not unconditional.. know the difference..
