Title: How to find peace?
Post by: arunangelo on July 10, 2013, 12:42:06 pm
We will find complete peace only when we express unconditional love, because to love is the true nature of our spirit. When we choose selfishness over love, we go against God and our true nature.  This causes turmoil in our spirit. Furthermore when we choose selfishness we hurt ourselves and others by the anxiety, envy, greed, and hate it produces. Selfishness also leads people to violate the natural order established by God. Such violations include contraception,   in-vitro fertilizations, abortion (which is the cruelest form of violence), divorce, fornication, adultery, and perverted and sterile sexual acts.  Such violations result in breakdown of the moral fabric of the society and of family life; resulting in much suffering, especially to little children.
   Unconditional love is the spirit God which is expressed in selflessness, sacrifice and service. To fall in love is to embrace this spirit; and trust in God enables us to embrace this spirit.  Because love is selfless, it frees us of selfishness; which in turn frees us from everything that selfishness enslaves us with. When we embrace love we will love our enemies by our acts of sacrifice and prayers for them, will not speak or think evil about others, offer the other cheek when slapped on one, give to everyone that asks, do not ask back what we lend, give and expect nothing in return (Luke 6:27-30), consider our opportunity to sever others as our greatest gift (from God), live to love and see the presence of God in every human being.  We can embrace this love, if we let the spirit of God which enabled him (in the person of Jesus) to sacrifice his own life those who hurt and betrayed him, touch our heart.

I express unconditional love for my parents. Why aren't I completely at peace?

As for the rest, TL;DR.

Just kidding, you can stay as long as you don't break the forum rules. But don't be suprised if people don't suddenly convert with just some copy-pasted word-salad.

Question: What about people who find peace through religions other than Christianity? Buddhists, for example: from what I can tell, they have just as much inner peace as Christians, if not more so. And what about people who find peace and unconditional love without any religion at all?

Does their peace and love not count?

BUT MASTURBATION IS SIN. MASTURBATION KILLS. CHOOSE LIFE.

Seriously, guys. Come on. Sperm cells are doomed to die and it's as much bullshit logic as comparing menstruation to murder.

Does pulling out count as contraception?

Also, what about things like medication and surgery? Do those violate the natural order of god? Have fun explaining that to even the most devout religious folks.

They used to swing by fairly often, but now they mostly just make the odd passive aggressive post on their own boards.

   Unconditional love is the spirit God which is expressed in selflessness, sacrifice and service.

I unconditionally love homosexuals and a woman's right to choose. I, and many others, fight for (sacrifice and offer their services) so others can keep those rights.

Let me put my protective goggles on before your head asplodes.

You want to talk about the epitome of selfishness, look no further than your BibleGod.

Exodus 22:29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

Sounds like something this guy would say:

Most Christians don't. And several of them who do either misunderstand the scriptures or read cherry-picked or badly translated versions of it (which are scary common). There is a joke that the Bible is like a Terms of Use document, where almost everyone skimps through it and says "I agree."
