A Slippery Slope!!!!

Unconditional Love has nothing to do with what one likes or not. It is not about Me. Unconditional Love does what is best for others. On the other hand, many are not yet capable of loving unconditionally. If in the attempt one moves to the lower level of anger and hate, perhaps it's time to take a few steps back. God sends all our actions back to us in time to teach us what our actions mean. One might not be able to have unconditional love return, however one surely will not be happy with anger and hate. In time one can work at their emotional control thus being able to love others unconditionally. Forgiveness has no valid point for those at a higher level. To demand forgiveness is about me me me. Of course, if it makes the other feel better about themselves to say they are sorry, so be it. As for myself, I care only about the results. Blame, condemning,and guilt serve only as baggage slowing the path higher.

@bird123 I said nothing about anger or hate...Which is both acceptable if used in the right manner. God hates Sin. I can still love my children and stand by them and hate or get angry with their actions. That does not mean that i do not Love them. Forgiveness is part of the whole process to healing. and being held accountable for bad behavior is all part of the learning process. God sent us his word to teach us, He even made himself flesh and came to this earth to show us how much he Loves us. God has showed us over and over how he feels about Sin and lawlessness. but not many have learned, or this earth would not be in the shape that it is in today. Yes unconditional love is what is best for the other person, and holding them accountable for their actions is all part of loving someone enough to see them do good. God created this earth, and everything in it. God sent us a set of rules, or laws. God also gave us free will to choose to follow them or not. He also told us what would happen if we followed them, and what would happen if we do not follow them. God will not force us to do anything, but we will be held accountable for our actions. You choose to call Gods word made up stories, and that is your right. You choose not to believe it is from God, that is your right. You do not want to believe or Have faith in God. That is your right. You do not wish to see Evil for what it is, that is your right. You believe that your rules are better than Gods, and you have that right. You want to make decisions based on only partial truths, that is also your right.

@dlr297 You want your view to be right so badly that you create things that are not true to support your beliefs. I do not call God's word stories. Your holy book is mankind's word. Next, You say I do not want to have faith or belief in God. You do not understand. God is actually Someone. God is no longer a Belief. I have discovered God. You say God hates. People who say God hates do not know or understand God at all. This does not surprise me with you because all you see are mankind's view of who they want God to be. Just like you, they ignore truth in favor of the view they want to be true. If one really searches for truth, one needs to be open for the truth one does not agree with. Somehow, I think you agree with all your truth. In the journey to discover real truth, your beliefs and assumptions are sometimes wrong. I do not believe you are open at all. You say I do not see evil for what it is. I understand more than you know. I don't use the bad choices of others as an excuse to Hate,blame and condemn. Fix the problem instead!!! You say I think my rules are better than God's. This is where your religion has corrupted your thinking. Neither God nor I have any rules. There are none what so ever. There are only our actions. God's action is to return everyone's actions back to them so that they might learn what those actions mean. My action here is to simple place truth in the world. It's mankind who are making all your rules. You say part of unconditional love is to make others accountable. Don't you understand? Blame, condemnation and the use of guilt to coerce or manipulate the actions of others is EVIL! Unconditional Love will focus only what will help the other advance in knowledge to reach a Higher Level. If you threaten, manipulate through pain, or create guilt in order to control the actions of others, That is Evil!!!. God does not and will not do these things. By returning our actions, God supplies non bias truth which educates though the person's free choices. Intelligence makes the right choice once it is all understood. All those petty things you value have been taught down through the generations. It is understandable they are incorporated in many people since we have all been taught these things from early childhood. At some point one needs to advance beyond the teachings of others. One can choose what they value. Things like hate, anger, coercing, controlling, threatening, manipulating through pain, guilt and such mean very little to me. You might be surprised how much one gains by purging these lower levels from oneself. One can only go up. You have all my Love and Kindness!!

You are right. These are all eternal truths.On the other hand, when one is involved it's easier to get emotional and stop thinking. Anger and hate can be on one's doorstep before one knows it. Instead of reacting, one should always think then act. You are right. It is something everyone should teach their children. One must also be careful to follow one's own teachings. Sometimes we teach more through our actions and those kiddies are watching. I like your comment about transcending national boundaries. If everyone worked at loving unconditionally, war would not exist.
