fred,
What is love? Charity is love. What is love? Is God. What is perfect? Love. What is love? God. Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, patience, faith, Holy Spirit: all those things are supernatural. What is love? What is joy? Go down to the drug store and buy me a quarter's worth of it; I need it right now. You can't buy love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, patience, gentleness, faith. You can't buy it; it's supernatural. "All right then, what is love? Scientifically show me. Let's go down to the drug store, and you inject me a pound of it inside of my veins. I need it." What is love? Scientifically prove me there is such a thing as love. How many loves: love your wife, love your brother, love your friends? I want somebody, some science, to prove to me what part of you is love. Where do you buy it at, what drugstore? I want a bunch of it. Love, joy, you got joy? Peace, long-suffering, gentleness, patience, what is it? It's all supernatural. God is supernatural. You don't scientifically prove God. You believe God.

Why do these publications have such Terrible illustrators!
The plot reminds me of the movie Reefer Madenss or Road to Ruin
Guardian Angeles watch over everyone. That's how many non-believers become believers when they almost fall to certain death and something holds them there and pushes them back.
God wants to see who's smart and who's stupid.
When a smart person who doesn't believe in nothings gets a few life saving miracles maybe they actually start to wonder if there is more to life than just living.
A very limited view web site that only provide fodder for Atheists to make fun of.
Jesus is for everyone and God created everyone. Even the evil people. Some call them Predestined.
If this were not true, that the statement God has a plan for you is not true.
The bottom line is, we can't stop end of times. We can convert the WHOLE WORLD and live in peace and harmony as Jesus and God wants, but end of times will still come, because it has been documented in the Bible.
Is there ONE religious person out there that thinks if WE DO convert everyone and EVERYONE becomes a loving Christian God will come and CANCEL, end of times?
If so, then the Bible is not the whole and final word.

Obviously, love is when someone cares enough to take digital photos of a pamphlet from the 1960's and post them on a web page. Feel the glow.
To some people, love is a euphemism for sex used in pop songs. It has to be true if they say it on the radio.
To others love means the ability to manipulate someone else, as in "of course she'll_________. She loves me."
The same word is used to describe the way a mother cares for her child and the connection among church people who see each other on their best behavior once a week.
And the very same word is used to describe a bond that keeps people together until death parts them.
And do you know why it is only one word for all these different things? It's because English is spoken by people who are too lazy to use different words for different things.
Love is compassion, charity, persisting in goodness, care, kindness, unselfishness, understanding, support, appreciation, sympathy, a proper fit, attraction, a choice, an agreement, patience...
I'm not really sure if this list will ever end. I'll wake up tomorrow and have a few more words that came to me while I slept. A year from now, I will have learned something else that love is or does. I do remember from Sunday school that God is love, so maybe I could add that love is all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, infinite and eternal, but that's way past human-level love.
Maybe it's really best to say that you get out of it what you put into it- nothing ventured; nothing gained but risk all and win everything.
I liked the guy who said that love is patient and kind and not puffed up with pride, that love is long-suffering.
Another guy said I should shower the people I love with love and show them the way that I feel. I could go along with that, but I'll make you love me less if I have J.T. following J.C.
What I do think is important is that we- us humans- make sure that love is a reality and not just a pretty story, not just something from a paperback novel or an old-time song and not just something in the sky after we've died. It needs to be here and now and real, our gift to ourselves and one another, made from the best of what is inside us.
Okay, I'm done.

Love is a condition or phenomenon of emotional primacy, or absolute value. Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects, including self-love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person. Love is commonly considered impossible to define.
The concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love. Others call it a recently invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages (though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry). Others maintain that love really exists, is not an abstraction, but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self esteem" to another. And others attempt to define love and apply the definition to everyday life.

...baby don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! No more!
Okay, more serious note. This is one of those questions no other person can answer. You have to find it yourself. You'll know when you get there. But, keep in mind, there are levels of love. Ranging between kindergarten "OOH! She touched my HAND!!!" to the couple in your community that's been married for 60+ years and still show affection for eachother. Good luck in your quest.
