I didn't say that you couldn't have compassion Missy.
Giving 'everything' to someone might be inappropriate and insensitive. Your generosity to me: saying you'd die for me, whilst endearing, might also be construed as a bit too much considering that you don't know me very well. It might display a weakness in yourself of being over trusting. It's not always loving to throw yourself away on people. To truly love (give love out) you have to be confident in your own love status. Does that make sense?
God dying for us gets rid of our problem of imperfection. We can face God like we're equal in innocence to him. We can have confidence to love ourselves without any reservations, and then give love. Hell yes this sacrifice is very important.
ugh horrible Victorian language lol
Well 'eternal' is a mistranslation I believe lol. It's not a matter of just desert, more accepting love. A state if mind that acknowledges the truth of positivity winning.
I take the bible as authoritative, and I trust it to be true. I understand it to be infallible, but don't close my mind to the possibility that it can't be improved upon.

See as a Christian I believed the bible was the living word of god. Meaning I could open it up and god could speak to my heart through it. I treated the bible like it was a piece of god. I also believed the bible was the infallible word of god because it says that it is.
