[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 73069669, member: 375234"] Faith is crucial to lasting love and to lasting peace, both. Let me show why. Consider: to last, love must endure moments when we don't know why a person has done or said something, where we could conclude it's for a bad motive, or bad reason, and then have resentment and distrust towards them. Faith is trust, the expectation of the good. With faith -- trust -- the wife can assume her husband isn't doing wrong, but that some other unknown thing is happening, and so she can continue to trust and love him, and get over the difficult moment without spiraling downward into distrust, anger, argument, and worse. So, faith is then crucial in the eternal afterlife, between those living together forever, so that the afterlife doesn't end up in war. (There already was a war when lucifer was cast down, once.) See? [I]Therefore faith itself is one of the central, key goals of this life on Earth.[/I] The reason we are here -- to get to this goal. Another is Love, of this kind: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (meaning everyone you encounter). Without these heaven would not be 'heaven'. Think on it, and I think you'll see how that's true. Heaven requires love, and to last, love requires faith. Consider: faith isn't simply seeing. I don't have "faith" I have a car. I just look and see it. Faith is to believe even when it cannot be seen at the moment. [/QUOTE]
