I think we are uncapable to love in such a way without God's help, but i think with Him, it is possible. Well, in theory will G-d all things are possible. That said if we really could live in such a way it would be akin to saying we would be sinless since Pure Love is the antithesis of sin. We know mans fallen state doesn't allow for that. |

no reason we shouldn't allow ourselves to try though, a righteous man is righteous because he falls seven times in a day and he gets back up.

The trying is what matters. If we just say "Ah f**k it, I'm a sinner so I might as well sin" then we have missed the message.

An action a feeling or the impossible? What are your thoughts?
IMO the only way we as humans can access this same aspect is to share in the nature of God. We do by the Grace of the Father. the sacrifice of the Son, and by symbiosis with the Holy Spirit within us.

I don't think that it is something you can acheve as a mere human. Our sin nature prevents us from reflecting agappe as God inteneded for us to live. Can you even fully understand it as God intended? I think that we are able to understand different degrees of it - but even then who understands God completely? If we did would we even sin? Does the Bible say anywhere that anyone other then Jesus had full knowledge of God (God =love)?
