If you are SINGLE, Never settle for anything less than God's Best ! Settling for less than God's best for us is one of the temptations we are so often facing. Don't let the looks, money and sweet talk fool you ! Marry ONLY for the glory of God and you will get His best for you. Amen Beloved ♥

isn't unconditional a condiction? How does that even make any sense? Unconditional love is love received and or given without any other influence bringing it forth. As in no matter what you do or don't do, this being giving the uncoditional love will love you.

Unconditional love is love received and or given without any other influence bringing it forth. that type of Love doesn't exist ...Love or the claim that one is in love has to be influence by something...whether lust or addiction or some other force FOR EXAMPLE aren't Christians commanded to Love...a command sure sounds like influence to me Unconditional Love means that you are willing to do anything for Love...even murder

God loves us even if and when we absolutely ignore him, disobey him, or just flat out deny his even existence. You have to do nothing to earn God's love, he loved you before you were created in your mother's womb. aren't Christians commanded to Love...a command sure sounds like influence to me But you're looking at it all wrong. Yes we are "instructed" to love one another. And we do this out of love towards the father. We obey out of love, out of desire to please the father. Not out of any rewards for oneself, not out of being forced. Unconditional Love means that you are willing to do anything for Love...even murder True, if you have uncoditional love for money, you will do anything and everything to gain more money. If you have uncoditional love for God, you will do anything and everything to please God. But who would have unconditional love for someone something that wants you to murder? Why love something/someone evil as such?

I was asking the O.P. who advised that we should not settle for anything other than God's best. This implies that all people are not created equal and that God makes junk.

Cause God doesn't make our actions, weather they are evil or pure. YOU make your actions, God has no part in this unless one allows God to direct their actions.

Not out of any rewards for oneself, not out of being forced. if you have to be "instructed" to love means that the Love is not Unconditional ... perhaps Mingle2 should change their "Mutual Match" feature to Mutual Instructed Match which commands people to love their Mutual Matches "Instructed" is NOT the same as having conditions ON something. You are misinterpretating it. God instructs us to 'Love'. However, it would not be 'God' we would be marrying now would it? Therefore, unconditional love in said case is NOT WITH God, but with someone entirely different. "Unconditional Love" itself means to love someone despite any of their qualities, or actions, through any sickness, and any and all problems that may arise during said time together; via, no conditions and/or limits. Or IE... A Love that never falters. This type of love does NOT require you to kill FOR someone, but you can kill IN THE NAME of that someone. And since I already know you'll need a further follow-up of that. If someone is threatening the one you love unconditionally, THEN you'd kill for them. It's also known as 'sacrifice'; in this case either against your normal morals and/or beliefs. Such is not the same. If this person says, 'kill for me' and you 'deny' that does not make your love 'Conditional' UNLESS, the one you are unconditionally in love with is, in fact, a sociopath themselves; then in that extreme, yes, that would require you to kill for them; but only in that type of extreme case; because it is a product of an already set yet unwritten list of 'conditions'. ..just saying.

Because no one is perfect and I don't care what any Christian says, either is God. Though only true concept of someone being 'perfect' is when another person sees all the other persons' imperfections, perfectly. Then you have the 'perfect' soul mate. And if you think a chit load of women are perfect.. Ima laugh at you for the rest of my life every time I see the name Jeannie Bean. xD
