pureinheart Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Came aggress this link on stumble & it made me think about this thread. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2WoGLz/members.shaw.ca/yofrizb/ Both are natural. Love should be positive; Its fear that isn't positive. Fear is what stops us. Love is what pushes us. I guess in retrospect you could view fear as a positive thing & love as a negative. Wow Spices, that was powerful...thank you I have been dealing with much depression and fear and this really helped explain that I am not in as much fear as I thought

I would think the word 'light' would be a key word. God is light, and His unconditional love, and not wanting us to stumble. Fear is supposed to be darkness, yet He uses fear to keep us from going into territory that we should not be in.
Author desertIslandCactus Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Again, 1 Corinthians 13 speaks of the importance of having love, and goes on to say the following - regarding love: Charity suffereth long and is kind; envieth not; vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
East7 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Again, 1 Corinthians 13 speaks of the importance of having love, and goes on to say the following - regarding love: Charity suffereth long and is kind; envieth not; vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. IMO, even if the Corithians 13 is commonly used in marriages, it doesn't talk about commitment but Love as a virtue, it is an universal definition of love between a man and a woman. There is a part that can be against an "affair type" of Love: Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. The evil is the hurt caused to a BS / The truth is what lacks in an A. The marriage becomes a Lie and that's not love either for the BS or the AP. The WS keeps AP in the shadow and lies to the BS. Being the hidden OM was the most humiliating thing and what I hated most of the A.
