Hey there folks, I'm wondering if I could have some help.
I remember either the Reasoning from the Scriptures or the Theocratic Ministry School book used to have a list of subjects and how to come up with a convincing argument. Wasn't there one about love originating from God and that's how humans developed love.
If anyone has the pages for it or link so I can look it up, I'm specifically looking for the suggestions for the answers received when giving the presentation.
Thanks everyone !
Does anyone remember this at all?
Hi, I didn't find it in the book you mentioned but I found this:
*** it-2 p. 276 Love ***
How One Acquires Love. Through holy spirit, the first man and woman were created with a measure of this dominant attribute of God, namely love, and with the capacity to extend, enlarge, and enrich that love. Love is a fruit of God's spirit. (Ga 5:22) Godly love is not a quality that one has without knowing why, as may be the case with certain physical or mental abilities, such as physical beauty, talent in music, or similar inherited qualities. Godly love cannot exist in the person apart from knowledge and service of God or apart from meditation and appreciation. Only by cultivating love can one become an imitator of God, the Source of love. (Ps 77:11; Eph 5:1, 2; Ro 12:2) Adam failed to cultivate love of God; he did not progress toward perfection of love. This is shown by his not being in union with God, bound to God by that perfect bond of union. Adam, nevertheless, even though imperfect and sinful, passed on to his offspring, "in his image," the ability and capacity to love. (Ge 5:3) Humankind in general expresses love, but it is often a misguided, deteriorated, twisted love.
Thank you, I actually just found a link to download the Reasoning from the Scriptures book so I'm going to look at that in the morning but I needed to say I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS! I have a video planned for that regarding Jehovah's Witness myths, I think I just have too much stuff planned right now and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Guess it's take it one video at a time LOL.
