RE>> Unconditional Love. << I think the people who received it were thankful NO ! Christ Loves His even when they hated him back... I am not putting down any of the example you just spoke of as indeed being ===== TRUE and UNSELFISH LOVE ===== But I can not say I agree that they are examples of "unconditional" Romans 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. I call into question both "my love" and the love of others... I know that many men will do things to be seen of others. Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, Others do what is right to justify themselves before God... Is that really unselfish ?? Yet others will do good things to feel good about themselves... There may be more than one motive at work there.. I do not believe that God loves without Condition either. I believe that repentance is a condition of forgiveness. The conditions for God's Love are Righteousness.. These conditions are men by Jesus for those who are loved and by Him alone. I would in that case have to say that GOD's Love to His children is grounded on conditions that He does nor look to man to meet. In that way I would say it is unconditional to the man but not without condition ! === I just can't imagine donating an organ to Hitler ! ==== I think there are always conditions whether people see them or not ! As to your question... I forgot the question so I have to go look it up again.. I remember promising to get back to you but then you wrote all these other things about your wife etc. so now I forgot.. I'll find it and get back to you.
