Nothing wrong with having different opinions and trying to understand things together.
As long as you weigh everything against the Bible for yourself it is hard to go wrong

Amen, agape love is the Spirit of God.

They seem to forget that these guidelines exist when they accuse us of using our own standards. Those ARE the standards of God and we are obliged to test the Spirit of everything against that Spirit of agape love.

Sad but too often true, Jerwade. For too many . . . it is too difficult to think about these things for themselves.
Hey guys, problems I've been having. ..................Miserable. Not fun. Why even live? Why even have a desire for companionship? If he just asks to throw it down the drain. Why trust if nothing ever happens or changes ?
You've made a number of similar posts and received advice from several of us to see a doctor and get a checkup. Have you done that?
Please, please....if you haven't ..... be smart. See a doctor and tell him/her what you've been feeling.

The God I believe in (I'm not comfortable saying *my* God) is spelled L O V E.

Mark Twain said the difference between the right word and the almost right word.
Is "the difference between lightning; and a lightning bug."
Sometimes dead guys have said it best: "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."
That right there is one of the perceptions that I take exception to. Weigh everything, including the bible, against love.
Do you subject God to that same standard of YOUR interpretation of what love is?
