As an after thought. Those who are whining and complaining in the GT are meanies thread would prolly do well to take the advice I give to my young daughter and apply it to those who hork them off in GT.

I have come to realize that the question in and of itself is not asked often enough, if at all. The purpose of our loving one another is important because it would let us know if we are doing (loving) correctly. An example would be loving someone enough to tell them when they are wrong (I guarantee there would be no peace in that). Loving someone enough to let them go ... (Like the father and the prodigal son). Loving yourself enough to recognize, repent, and remove your own imperfections through the stripes of Christ. After reading D'Ann's post I realize God's purpose for commanding us to love is for perfecting us and others in Christ's likeness. It only really leaves the question ... How do you love someone? ... or possibly ... How would God define perfection? ... Children (like the children of God we are) ask why so that we can better perform the given task. I want to obey God, and understanding why He wants something only makes it easier obey.
One Love,

What happened in the year 18 that may have caused our extinction ?Y'all are making this too hard. We were commanded to love one another because if we had been commanded to hate and revile each other...we'd have murdered ourselves into extinction 1990 years ago.
