Bible Note: Your note is well understood and agreed on. I'd have to say that Love is the most important but, that truth has a place where LOVE is concerned. I would interject my thoughts concerning your first example. I'd have to say, "Grandmother, I love you and appreciate the cookies you made for me, but what did you put in them?" Who knows, she may have accidentally used powdered bleach in place of sugar, and it may severly affect someone else. Most assuredly, the root of our being is to be LOVE. Yet too many confuse the fact that truth is an ingredient where love is concerned. Is not LOVE truth? I look on truth as a seasoning where LOVE is concerned. It is necessary. Some do not like salt. Others do. Some require more salt than others. Even still, many require garlic, or pepper as a seasoning. Where LOVE is concerned, TRUTH is a necessary ingredient, but as with any seasoning, there can be too much or too little. In Christ GB |
