Ya know Mom, I'm really surprised at you on this thread. But maybe not. When it comes to "buying their love" speak for yourself, please. I'm not gonna waste my energy in trying to post scripture passages that tells all Christians to Love, Love and continue to love...to be Charitable and give, give until you give from your need and not your excess...and to be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.
[1 John 2:9] Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness....
[1 John 2:11] Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes....
[1 John 3:15] Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
