Faithfulservant;

The fundamental difference between yourself and myself is that you accept your religion only and you do not accept any other religion and you also do not accept in the unity of all the religions, where as I accept your religion, any other religion and also I accept the unity of all the religions. You do not like me since I do not belong to your religion only and therefore you treat me as your enemy. I like you since I belong to your religion also and therefore I treat you as my friend.

Faithfulservant,

Perhaps Christian Love is not an emotion. It seems the Love that Jesus preached was beyond emotions. The kind that returned good for evil and a loving kindness even toward our enemies. It seems to me it is unconditional and voluntary and is the very essence of God. Then again, perhaps our understandings differ and you may enlighten me.

Love in Christ,
JM

Faithfulservant;

Please have patience to analyse my replies. Lord never force anything on any body. Lord is impartial and preaches to all alike, even to atheist so that He is not blamed in the upper world for not preaching any soul. This show the infinite kindness of Lord.

As I see it, religious practice served to reinforce spiritual emotion -- life giving emotion --which in turn facilitates right thought and right action.
