Between Our Love & Your’s

We were in a conversation about the relation between God and life… is it applicable or not?

A woman said: I don’t believe… why do I need the Bible? Religion is just made by men to rule the world and block any instability…
Look, inside your Bible there are many unclear issues… why women have no real role in it? For example, what is the role of St Mary? She bared Jesus, but what was she after?
Your Bible said that the woman must follow her man… and me, I don’t want to follow a man…

I said: the Bible is not a lonely phrase… it is a united continuous one… you cannot just read a cut of a phrase and say look, this is your holy book… as it appears, you know the Bible very well… so you must know that he said: the man must love his wife as Jesus loves the church… he said also that the man leaves his dad and mom to follow his wife… and the same to her… he said also: you don’t leave each other until death…
Don’t you see that the bible is the number one in that age and even in ours, that pushes to the equality between men and women…?
Where do you see that Jesus didn’t equalize between us…
Remember very well, women who do sins were killed until death with stones, but the men not… who is the first one in the world to protect her, and even forgive her while blaming all the others…
Remember also… the only ones who visited Jesus in his tomb were women, while all the disciples (men) were hidden in a secret place… and the ones who took the great news of resurrection were also women…
I can describe and talk till tomorrow about women in the Holy Bible…
The Bible can be collected in one word… love…

She said: but we don’t need a religion to love…

I said: very true… even sinners love their families and the ones who belongs to them… this is inside the Bible too… do you know it before?
Jesus didn’t come here to ask you to love these ones (this love is somewhat innate, but can also be lost in many conditions)… he came here to make you love your enemies…
Love is the light… it fulfills our hearts…
You cannot say I love someone and I hate another one in the same time… if you are doing that, even the one you love, there will be a time you hate him who ever who is… why?
Isn’t clear? Love and hate cannot stay in the same place… the same heart… the darkness will win… it’s simply what happens when you have an infection somewhere, and you didn’t treat… then the infection will grow up slowly, ending by killing you…
This is the difference between our love and your’s…
Our love is full while unlimited… our love is rich while poor … our love is modest while powerful… our love is complicated by being brother and sister of everyone on this earth, while very simple… our love can forgive… and specially, he is an eternal one as he is from the heart of our God…
While your’s is weak… poor even if he has all the goodies of earth…
He is complicated by hating everyone on earth… and he is surely limited…
So you have to choose between God and death…

She said: why do I have to choose?

I said: because life is just a decision… and you are free to take it or not…
