How many of you "Christians" Can truly say you Love someone?

I say this, how can a person truly loves a person if they don't give out Truth? Is this not hatred to one another?JagLovest thou in Christ Yahshua, Lord and Saviour of the world.

I am very proud in being able to say that I love everyone.

You can hate the falsehood but love and pray for the person.

You can hate the falsehood but love and pray for the person.I can see that and it is true. But nontheless, Not able to give out Truth to a person is not True Love.JagLovest thou in Christ Yahshua, Lord and Saviour of the world.

Just remember to give the truth in Love.

I find that truth is reality. Reality is what one runs into when wrong! Pilate was a witness to the pure love of God when facing Jesus, reality! The reality is that God first loved us, even though we were His enemies. How I wonder does that come to pass on this board, as I presume U.C. was alluding to?

If I saw each and every one of ya, I'd give ya a handshake, a hug, and look into yer Eyes and Say I love you.
YOU SMOTE MY HEART BROTHER! I for one will seek to build-up rather than tear-down. Love to you U. C. thanks, john

I think another thought to this is that we are commanded to love each other as a mark of our Christian faith. Our love toward each other is more of an "action" than a "feeling". I have noticed that the more loving "actions" I do for someone, the more loving "feelings" seem to follow because it softens up misunderstandings between people and helps you to see the other person where they are. Loving is so much more than thinking of what I can get out of someone-i.e.-I love you because you're so good to me,etc. How about just loving because we see Jesus in each person? That has been my own personal challenge as of late. It's not easy, but I know it will be worth it one day when I see Him! Whoever "Faithful" is on this site has helped me to see that in my own relationship with my husband. It's easier to be nice to those outside your home than your own family, sometimes. Love with everything you've got and it will come back to you. You do need to be truthful, but the people of this world can see in your eyes and hear in your tone if you love them or not, very quickly.

Handshake, hug and saying "I love you" may not be a real love."The real love is not just that. Such things can be superficial and fake.We show our love by action. We help, we give, we feed, and we suffer for our friends and loved ones.God shows His love by giving His Son Jesus Christ.Jesus Christ shows His love by suffering and dying for us.

What you say Is what I would expect someone who claims to be a Christian to say, after all that is what the bible and every church I have ever attended teaches, but lets be real for a moment , A few years back some greasy, bad smelling, rapist attact and raped my only daughter by holding a knife to her throat and threating to kill my three year old grandaughter if she resisted.(she was asleep in an ajoining bedroom)Do you really believe I was capable of loving or even praying that he be forgiven for the act, not hardly, If I had a gun and he had been caught I would be in prison today for murder, to my knowledge he is still free and God only knows how many other women have suffered the same fate. We may all know the Golden Rule practicing it is something else. If we are honest most of us live by what I would call "The Silver Rule" we do unto others as they do unto us....Ray

I can, I love many people and my dog,HE thinks HE is a person rather than a dog or It's not interested in other dogs, loves people.

I'm sorry for your grief, bigdummy. You're right that in our humanness, we can't love someone who has done this kind of evil to those we love so much. These acts are so senseless and they do make me angry and sad. I can't understand why these kinds of things are allowed to happen, except that evil wasn't God's choice from the beginning, so we're still suffering for the evil of others' bad choices and from our own choices(not that this was your family's fault in any way). It doesn't make this hurt any less. I just try to focus on the cross and hope that I can forgive and learn to love like Christ, even though I am far from that right now. I pray that you all will have healing in your lives and peace from this terrible incident. I also pray that this person will get caught soon and I know he will receive his punishment because scripture says so.

Great question, UC (can I call you that)? First thought came to my mind Yes! That is what God say do, even though sometimes that is hard to do. So I had to stopped and say a prayer about this (I often do this for God's guidance) Then I was led to open up my Bible and read. Would you believe I went right to this scripture?.....Luke 6: 27 27 But I say unto you, which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you. *I also went back and read from Luke 6:20-38*( I was amazed and inspired at the same time):grouphug:ray4:

honestly, I can truly say that. In these past 4 months, God has literally opened my eyes and my heart to what love truly means.my mind always goes back to John 13:34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."I can't help but love each and every one of you guys/girls here. Yeah, it does hurt to love a non believer who has persecuted me for my love in Christ, but I won't give up. Christ never gave up on me, us, or them, and it's up to us to show Christ's love through our love for each other.I still have a way in learning what Christ taught, but for now, I will show my love for Christ and how much Jesus loves them by loving them as much as He does.

O my goodness... it is so hard when others do terrible things. I just found out something very terrible myself that the closest person in my life did...that is really, just horrible and heartbreaking, shocking and has changed almost our whole relationship. Our Lord and Savior forgave those who tortured and crucified Him- that means I can forgive what has been done to me... and I did... though sometimes I get filled with such sadness and such anger... but I give up to God again. And there is freedom in forgiveness.I would give anyone a handshake and a hug.... I praise God for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ!
