a math problem?

What is the intersection of truth and love? Are they equally important, or does one take precedence over the other in certain situations? Are any of us qualified to try and live out either one or both?

Sometimes, even with the help of God, it's hard to see how to love everyone. Truth comes easier to me.

good questions...

my gut reaction is that if Truth is easier than love is more important for you. (Don't get me started on how postmodern that is....just take it at face value.)

But I understand the quandry you are in....and how do you say love is more important (even though it is clearly given more significance in Scripture) when Jesus is Truth and Love?

That is why I say whichever is easiest for you to do is the one that is perhaps "less" important in this situation.

I'm not sure, but the intersection of cowardice and fear is easy to spot... but to answer your question, they are complementary, which (as we all know) means that the sum of their angles always equals 90 degrees. Mwah! Goodnight, everybody. You've been a great audience. I'll be here all week. Try the veal... :)

Is there any sort of punishment here for Geometry jokes? There is on my blog - unless I make them, of course.
