Love our neighbour?

amen to that.

i just feel sad that the earth that was created for the human family, has now been almost ruined by the human family.

for every baby that is born they have come into a world in which people set traps for each other because it is the norm now to cause someone to stumble in order to keep oneself up.

it is a wonder people start families anymore because the world is so messed up.

it is a dangerous place for babies and adults...yet it is us the adults who have messed the world up.

we cannot continue setting a bad example for future generations who think it is ok to continue dominating each other to our injury when that is not necessary.

human beings are a simple creation, we have everything we need to sustain and keep us alive, yet somewhere down the line we introduce cigarettes and slowly but surely people start using it and sure enough it ruins them to the point of death.

after the very first person that died it should have been banned...but no...it continues to be produced sold and consumed and people continue to die.

yet we are fighting out in Afghanistan and Iraq  to stop people being killed and ill treated, yet right here in our own country, we show a lack of respect and concern for human lives.

that bothers me alot.

hi,

thank you for your response.

i agree with what you wrote, and it is good that you wrote it because it acts as a important reminder as to what loving god and our neighbour truly means?

and yes it must have shocked the man when jesus said that it was the very one that was not considered as a "neighbour" was the one who proved to be a neighbour in that he helped the man who had been beaten and robbed.

i have actually experienced that neighbourly love many years ago when the good news was shared with me by 2 of gods respresentatives "jehovah's witnesses."

and even on this very day they are using their time to bring that good news of gods kingdom to people(their neighbours) all over the world.

they give of their time and selves willingly because they are have something of real and true value which is in fact what mankind on whole is searching for which is answers to the problems that plague people.

the source of the answers to our problems is with our creator "jehovah god"

yes it is true.

he by means of his ransom provided by his son jesus christ has opened up a pathway leading to release and relief from sin and all its bad fruitage..i.e, death and imperfection which is the result of the rebellion which started in the garden of eden when eve and adam chose to rebel and decide for themselves what is good and bad, despite god's warning of what would happen if they disobeyed him.

they chose to side with a wicked rebellious angel who became known as the original serpent  satan the devil.

yes, he mislead eve  who then enticed her husband adam to rebel.

they lost all the good god had given them and eventually died...we being their children inherited their imperfection so that is why we now die.

however, since we all die in adam, we can also live by means of jesus "the last adam" in that due to his obedience to god, we  can be forgiven for our sins and inherit  everlasting life.

so in short, how we respond to the good news being preached throughout the entire inhabited earth, will determine whether we will gain everlasting life on earth under gods heavenly government which will soon replace all governments on earth who have failed mankind on whole and are in fact controlled by the invisble wicked spirits satan and the demons.
