I think the theological flaw is that it was messed up at the fall - we became depraved... sinful and that's when empathy became work... interesting to think about though... <BR/><BR/>thanks for your thoughts. <BR/>DanielleStephen Courthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003412335880845713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639308185701880635.post-32652937058872460392008-05-08T12:42:00.000+10:002008-05-08T12:42:00.000+10:00I consider humans are wired to need empathy, hunge...I consider humans are wired to need empathy, hunger and thirst for it, but I do not believe empathy can be an automatic response from a human point of perspective. The selflessness that is required to connect with someone else in the authentic boundaries of empathy is completely opposite to the characteristic of the human nature.<BR/><BR/>The human nature desires to protect itself.<BR/><BR/>Empathy comes from the vein of God's divine activity.<BR/><BR/>God's nature desires to protect others.<BR/><BR/>Your art portrait is striking and beautiful, an expression of humble compassion, darkness and light shared together. Exquisite.<BR/>I pray for you and the ministry in which the Master has called you and you have served. God's work and activity seeks for love, joy and peace to be abundant.<BR/><BR/>Embrace and enjoy the day God has given you today.jsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365839524389378815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639308185701880635.post-45101775538738041782008-05-08T08:43:00.000+10:002008-05-08T08:43:00.000+10:00Hi DanielleIt disturbs me greatly and has for a ve...Hi Danielle<BR/><BR/>It disturbs me greatly and has for a very long time about this lack of empathy in a movement that was born out of its ministry and care to the poor and is well known for our "charitable" acts. <BR/><BR/>I dont understand why people dont get it. My heart bleeds for those who live in desperate circumstances, for the children that go to school hungry and dirty and get teased etc etc etc<BR/><BR/>If we were all to realise that we could make a difference what a difference we could make...<BR/><BR/>May God stir more hearts and I thank you for your passion and for your willingness to share openly.<BR/><BR/>God Bless You RicklyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
