>All mankind fall short of God's standards in relation to Those Capitalized Words Above. I mean, there is man's standards and there is God's. Man's standards are varied depending on your position, belief, condition, and culture. Add to that the laws of the land. For instance, God's standard about love and forgiveness is unconditional (love your enemy, forgive the unforgivable) as opposed to man's which is self-seeking at most (an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.) So how do I love just like how God loves? It take longer discussion to answer this as I've mentioned earlier.

"All mankind fall short of God's standards" -- I have to tell you I hate that viewpoint. And isn't it presumptuous to explain what God thinks or wants?

I will now bow out of the discussion. As I have said already, I completely respect your right to your beliefs. You are just seeming a little strident about it, as though your beliefs are the only correct ones. That is my problem with many organized religions and some of their followers. Ideally IMO everyone would hold their own religious beliefs and respect the right of others to hold theirs.

Unfortunately history teaches us this is not the case.
