...I think your differences arise from the context of the word "love". I'd say more but my diction is really sucking today and I'd probably end up putting my foot in my mouth or... something.
Ruthie, what price is too high? and yes, Christ's love was no human love, but Christ was perfect, therefore He understands human love. And by the way, sillyfudge-eater, I LOVE YOU!!!
That's not what I meant. Christ's love was beyond human capability, yes. But think of the price he payed to get human love. Ultimate pain, suffering, and sacrifice. For the love of a bunch of losers like us. The only thing he could have done beyond that would be to go and reside in hell for all time, but that would not accomplish the terms of the sacrifice set forth by God. He literally went to the limit to obtain human love.
No, it is not. And Christ did not sacrifice to gain love, but to show it. If we love others, than we will be able to sacrifice ourselves for them. The inability to sacrifice ourselves, whether this means our life, our prosperity, or anything else that is "ours" shows that we lack love ourselves. Perhaps there is a price too high to pay for love (though what do we then make of the order to be "like Christ"?) but love will always pay a price.
ahh, but dellarose, if we sacrificed those, then what we seek is not love as pictured in the Bible, particularly the description from 1 Corinthians 13.

Perhaps you should rethink that. ;]
Nope.

eh.. I don't want to say it here. >.< It would take things too deep and philosophical. lol.

I agree with ancalime.
Too deep and philosophical, eh?
In your mouth or something? What else is there?
W&F, what do you agree with ancalime about?

teehee...no responses, huh?
There is a price too high for human love.
invisibob,
Christ evidently didn't think so...
haha... we could really debate this one.
His wasn't human love.
Ruthie,

but that price is not for us to pay. for us, that price would be too high. IT is not for us to sacrifice ourselves to gain the love of others.
No, it is not. And Christ did not sacrifice to gain love, but to show it. If we love others, than we will be able to sacrifice ourselves for them.

By the way, I confess to the use of a straw man two comments ago. ;)
sacrificing our morals and convictions to obtion the love of a human is too high a cost, which is, i believe the context of the quote
ahh, but dellarose, if we sacrificed those, then what we seek is not love as pictured in the Bible, particularly the description from 1 Corinthians 13.
I didn't say that was the love I was referring to, harrison. =]
you know... somehow. I just. Knew. You were going to say that at some point.
*pounds head on wall*
hehe. not rly.
What love were you referring to then, Ruthie?
that's for you to ponder over.
Then I shall ponder it with all my might, dearest Ruthie.
ROFL
