Love? Is it impossible for people to love everyone? If we alter the way we think or act, can we achieve love for everyone? It is said that the views Jesus had were radical and that some of the things in the bible aren't to be taken literal. My view on this is that His words weren't radical, it is words to live by for a better world.
Do we not achieve love for everyone because we just give into our nature, we don't try to fight it we just accept right there and then that we don't like a certain person. What if we looked passed the differences and accepted people and their opinions? Is it possible to truly love everyone? I am not talking about the love that we share with a spouse or a mother, but I am taking about the love that goes hand in hand with acceptance and respect.
Another thing that was brought up in class on Tuesday was the question how do we know which denomination is the right one. This has been my problem for a while. How do I know which one is the right one since there is so many? In my opinion I feel like a person should read the bible for themselves and see what they understand from that. You pray for understanding of it and what you retain from reading the bible, you try to follow. These are interesting things to think about.
