Is "true love" just a feeling or is it action?

[SonOfMan]

It seems your view of “actions” is skewed to me.

What types of things are you looking for?

Visiting us when we’re lonely, feeding us when we’re hungry, clothing is when we’re naked, being there for us in good times and in bad, letting go of grudges, etc. Thats what we’re expected to do for one another, even if we dont “feel” like it (since love isnt a feeling, it is actions), so by the same token where is God’s love in all of this? God is supposed to be love itself, where are his actions in the modern day?

Have you eaten recently?
Are you wearing clothes?
God doesn’t hold grudges, he is always there for us in prayer

Gods love is at work in the world. If it weren’t I cannot imagine how dark the world would be.

I feed and clothe myself. Although there are people, many people at that, who are not. Where are his actions for them?

God holds one of the biggest grudges over our heads dating all the way back to the alleged first 2 humans: Original Sin and all it entails.

I feed and clothe myself.

No you don’t. There are hundreds, if not thousands of others that are needed to make sure that the food and clothes you buy are available to you.

Although there are people, many people at that, who are not. Where are his actions for them?

He created you and others like you who have the means to care for those less well off.

Why blame God? He didn’t commit the original sin.

 

[SonOfMan]

No you don’t.

I work, travel to the store, pay for food and clothes with my money. I did it myself.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of others that are needed to make sure that the food and clothes you buy are available to you.

Yes, they provide the services and goods and I pay them. God isnt in that equation.

He created you and others like you who have the means to care for those less well off.

Others have the means. I have the means. Where is God in that equation? Other people helping other people is not God helping people. Where are God’s objective actions of love?

Why blame God? He didn’t commit the original sin.

He is holding a grudge against us for that, however. According to Catholicism, humans are still being born with original sin everyday because God has not gotten iver what Adam and Eve did.

You call it a grudge, I call it justice.

If you are saying God is not providing these things for you, you can not say He lacks Love for those who have not.

God love you
