Loved or feared?

_
There can be too much love, in love… if you know what I mean? and I ain’t that kinda gurl.

Oftentimes, the reasons for people’s personal choices in life, can stem from very simple reasons, be very Freudian in origin, and Darwinian in nature.

Too many read much into things, that are not there… ghosts in the machine?

It all depends on how it’s opined: nurture or nature; genes or memes.

Very hard to decide why God allowed such choices.

There is also some hidden inverse proportionality here for some love most the ones they fear, and even vica versa

What?

…life seems to currently be based on the reliant-stupidity of others.

So I’ve heard… so I’ve heard. There’s a cure for that.

It isn’t broken unless incapable of fear. Fear tutors a respect for life, enables the cultivation of courage. Where there is no fear, fools rush in like bats rush out. But you only really need to fear one thing, & it puts everything else in order. Also the one who loves you the realest.

…which is nobody’s business.

Well. S/he loves (They love) everybody the realest.

This ^^^ is not, what philosophy is.

Beloved MagsJ, please link to one of your many sound demonstrations of philosophy on ILP. It would be an honor to receive your instruction.

Don’t/ever ask me no questions, and I’ll tell you no lies.

Let the turd, find the toilet, and become… flushable!

Were you looking in the mirror when you said that? You were, weren’t you?

This is a yes or no question.

_
This ^^^, is not what a philosopher is.

…but this is what a troll is. Who broke her and made her so.

…tryna steal my agape, like Prometheus stole fire… so out of their league.

So even if I ask you yes questions, you still tell me lies. That how it goes?

Philippians 1:29-2:18 When the Master became the Slave, as all good (free) masters do.

29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

Imitating Christ’s Humility
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Do Everything Without Grumbling
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.


Why the unfree masters suppress or distort the gospel—not because they don’t want slaves to follow it, but because they don’t want to see themselves through (& follow) it: as the slaves they really are.

In addition to that, this: Family… and the One I’m with, need not fear me, but… as Meno_ said, He might want to. :wink: hahaha

need vs want

fear = respect

Just like you don’t have to feel anything to show love, the same is true to show respect/deference.

The sort of fear perfect love casts out (1 John 4:18) is tied to attachment to what is fleeting, and is fear of punishment. If you have been salted with fire, false/disordered attachments have been dealt with. It’s a process.

Seeing as you’re not perfect yet, we are on equal footing there… so what’s bothering you?

Nothing, right?

Good. That’s what I thought you said.

Heh!

_
Some need to learn to read without interpreting Others through their own faults, weaknesses, and misjudgements… no equal-footing here… mine is different to everyone elses’.

Comparisons and competitiveness with others, ain’t my bag. Go’damn frickin extroverts. :icon-rolleyes:

What a bore… with such divisive words as ‘good’ and ‘That’s what I thought you said”… like they hold any weight or measure, or give them any jurisdiction over others.

Having gauged the complete [boring, repetitive, circular] measure-of-the-person/the no-trick-pony, it’s bye bye time.

I didn’t say same… I just said equal.

Neither of us is perfect. Let’s share that common ground and defend it from ass kissers!

I’m actually an introvert.

You let sculptor be an ass to you and when I defend you, you tell me I am the idiot. Well guess what. I am!

That makes two of us! Equals. Ahhhhhh so noncompetitive.
