I Jn 4:8-12
8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son {to be} the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

: More and more people are realizing that to be motivated by
: money produces unwanted lessons. I think there are at least
: three people in this category.

: We could have a much better life if our motivation to produce,
: was love, and equal loving-consideration for others. You
: know, treat others as you want to be treated, instead of
: screw others and treat yourself to a gold toilet.

: Talk is cheap, walk is hard. Preach it, but don’t do it (makes
: you look good until they reveal your seventeenth condo on
: the French Riviera, and then you reeeally look good and
: inspire an entire generation to screw others before they
: screw you).

: The American Dream was never anything but a nightmare for
: everyone but the dreamer who made it come true, for him, on
: the backs of others.

: I’m not talking about forced wealth redistribution. I’m
: talking about willing love distribution.

: If it isn’t a voluntary spreading of wealth, it’s socialism
: and Communism–think compulsory–which suck, suck, suck
: (imagine a rich Jesus with 16 empty condos awaiting his
: arrival). When is enough, enough?

: Our moral motivator, love, is broken, or non-existent. Maybe
: it’s on holiday.

: The Mormons had it right (The United Order) but they weren’t
: moral enough to live right, and are morally bankrupt still.
: An inconvenient truth that stopped being taught because
: they wouldn’t obey. It’s a tough higher law. Few can live
: it. Even fewer like it. Gives one a hint of the status of
: people, maybe even today’s leaders, though, smart leaders
: stop pushing what the people reject, in order to teach what
: they will accept, without rejecting them. It’s the old
: saying, The prophets mouth has been closed by God because
: the people have rejected the teaching, and so they get to
: suffer the consequences, and thereby learn by the things
: they suffer.

: All religions today are morally love-bankrupt in action, but
: not in talking. Teach it, but don’t live it. It’s easier
: that way.

: Don’t get me wrong; I’m only pointing out the truth, what’s
: real, what’s current, what’s happening, and the results.
: I’m not condemning people, they do that themselves by
: condemning themselves to experiencing the VERY LESSONS THEY
: NEED to move beyond selfishness. After all, ignorance never
: was happiness. And the only thing that dispels ignorance is
: knowledge, which is only gained through experiencing the
: hell of a thing, and then avoiding the actions that created
: it. In other words, immoral people are only immoral because
: they haven’t suffered enough to know why they’re suffering.

: There’s an old saying, People learn by good counsel or by the
: things they suffer. If you need to jump off the cliff
: without a parachute, then I suppose you need to get
: splattered on the rocks below. That’ll teach you.

: And I’m not outing the Mormons, other Christians, or any
: religion in regards to love your neighbor as yourself, or
: treat others as you want to be treated, but I am outing
: EVERY PERSON who knows this is not only the TRUE doctrine
: supposedly taught by Christ, but is so common-sensish, so
: rational, so absolutely TRUE (if you want peace on earth)
: that it blows my mind that we haven’t actually got it,
: haven’t implemented it, and have only talked about it
: (exceptions noted)

: Think wheat and tares. We’re there.

: Either we all get rich, or we all get war.

: Ignorance has a price, and the innocent always suffer with the
: guilty.

: It makes for one hell of a ride.
