That has caused many a war, as well as quite a few tiffs!"<BR/><BR/>Hmmm... the pure forms of love, freedom, and truth... I'm sure plenty of other, smarter people have thoguht much longer and much harder, and probably come up with better answers then the ones you are about to receive from myself, but I don't know what they are, so here's mine. <BR/><BR/>Pure Love: The character of God. After all, 'God is love.' And God is perfect.<BR/><BR/>Pure Freedom: I'm not sure if there is such a thing, even theoretically, or whether it would be desirable. Certainly, the perfect free will given to Adam and Eve didn't have results that were... too great.<BR/><BR/>Pure Truth: Anything which is true, lacking falsehood of all sorts. It would seem to me that all truth is pure, for any truth that is not purely truth is not so much truth anymore. For a practical example, I point to God's Word as pure truth.<BR/><BR/>As to who decides... well, I'd be surprised if God hadn't already. :p<BR/><BR/>Sincerely in Christ,<BR/>Hidden One.Hidden Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042188431683942338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-43422949350800482822007-03-08T07:50:00.000-05:002007-03-08T07:50:00.000-05:00Well, Mr. Hockey, you bring up the age-old theolog...Well, Mr. Hockey, you bring up the age-old theological conundrum, the favorite form of which for me is: could God heat up a burrito so much that even he couldn't eat it?Brother Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780326836452864455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-9333542587274483162007-03-07T22:46:00.000-05:002007-03-07T22:46:00.000-05:00From a different perspective, I feel like I have b...From a different perspective, I feel like I have been bombarded with concepts like love, freedom, and truth since day one. Unfortunately there is usually an agenda behind each one: love is for selling products, freedom can be reconciled with torture, and truth is whatever justifies our side and demonizes the other side. For me, I have seen more damage due to the perversion of the concepts than the exclusion of them.<BR/><BR/>Of course, that leads to the question "what is the pure form of these qualities?" and "who decides what the pure form of these qualities is?"
