no one has a need more than another. a need is the same for all. if your needs have been met, then by all means share the excess but charity begins at home and then elsewhere. you can't save someone; if you yourself are drowning.
the blind leading the blind and they all fall in a hole.
jesus said to love one another as I have loved you. he didn't say to love some, or anyone, more than another.
Have you given something you value to your family or would you keep what you value even though your family needed it to survive?
We probably have the concept of love more advanced than any other previous species but I wouldn't ever say that humans are the only ones that love. Empathy exists in most mammalian species. It even exists in many birds and a good number of reptiles. Not in trees. Tree's don't give a crap if you die.so you believe science can perfect a program that can determine who will be attracted to whom and why everyone isn't attracted to everyone else?
do you believe that love came into being because of humans? are animals incapable of empathy?
do the forms dictate the action? or does the form evolve because of some change, action?
is information imbedded in everything? or does the scientist instill the information in the object?
who is learning from who? what? where?
does the object have to have self-awareness to have intelligence? or is it just a shift inward vs exclusively outward?
no doubt.....God found this to be entertainingDo Atheists know Love?
1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

I don't know what you mean by form as it isn't given with context.
In a way information is imbedded in everything. Love evolved with our brains. An object osberves other objects and is in return observed. That counts as awareness by some definition. Now the usage of the term "intellegence" is a tricky monster in english. Lets change the term to cognition as it more accuratly represents what it is that we are trying to talk about. Does a pen have cognition? No. Does a cat? Yes. Do humans? Yes. Do trees? Probably not.

I see that parable as ......consequence dealtthe story of the richman and lazarus is an example of want vs need.
i cannot agree....I think the average so called atheist simply take life as it is, not making a big deal about it, life is here, to live, not to be taken serious, if you have to take life serious with a so called god looking down on you, then its not a life, its a hell.
again,
a need requires a result of the need being met, in order to survive. food, shelter, security, are all needs. jewelry is not a need. it's an excess, a want. so if you have someone in survival mode and you have excess. it isn't a sacrifice. its a materialistic excess. its the difference between the idea of blood vs water. we all have one father but some don't believe that we are born of fire and water.
the story of the richman and lazarus is an example of want vs need.
motivation counts for something
I see that parable as ......consequence dealt
I didn't mention all of that. It's just a yes or no question. Don't read more into it.
agreed....however....actions have results. you reap what you sow. for every action there is an opposite but equal reaction. the gulf/abyss is the difference of a point of view. heaven and hell are states of mind
NO !!.i cannot agree....
God can't help but look down
should we not be looking up?
then you will be looking...down?NO !!.
states of mind. change the mind and you can change the matter. push up on it. unless you lift up the son of man like nehushtan in the desert everything just keeps crashing down
raise the shekinah
