Why love our neighbour?

It would seem to most people that there is a glaring inconsistancy with a God who advocates loving our neighbour as ourself, and then sends non-believers to perish in outer darkness!

Is he a loving God or not?

Believe it or not, these two opposing ideas can be resolved. But I am not going to tell you what the answer is, because you can find out for yourself, by doing what every Christian is meant to do.

Obey all the teachings of Jesus, and you will find the answer, and the truth will set you free.

Why have we fallen?

We are told that we are all sinners. But if we then ask what we are doing that is sinful, the answer is usually less than clear. How can we prevent our separation from God through sin if we do not know what we are doing wrong?

So why are we sinning? What is our sin?

We are sinning because we do not understand that we should love our neighbour as ourself.

When we have understood this, we will no longer continue to sin, and we will no longer be fallen.
