"Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi" - This Truth Called Love

This Truth Called Love

To understand or admit something that exists, you have to be alive and not dead.  Existence of anything is only meaningful for a living man but not for a dead man.

A living man means the function to recognize something that exists, and a dead man means the state without this function.

To understand and recognize oneself, one needs to be alive and should not be dead.

A living man means the function to understand and recognize oneself, and a dead man means the sate without this function.

A man exists as long as he lives, but a dead man does not exist.  The world exists for a man as long as he lives, for a dead man, the world does not exist and he himself does not exist.

In the case of God, we may assume that this world and universe exist, as long as God lives.  And as God never dies, this world and universe never cease to exist.  And all the things exist as God understands and recognizes them.

Consequently, we may think that everything exists as God thinks of it; every man exists as God thinks of him and her; and time exists as God thinks of time.

If God should stop functioning, this world, this universe, all the things in this world, and all the mankind should disappear, losing the basis of their existence.

Christ Jesus called this truth love.  To suggest this truth to men, He said that God loved every man and woman.  And Christ Jesus recommended that to strengthen this assurance of men's existence, men should love God with all their hearts and might.
