I think you might like this my friend. :sparklingheart:
Love is heaven's kindly light, the Holy Spirit's eternal breath that vivifieth the human soul. Love is the cause of God's revelation unto man, the vital bond inherent, in accordance with the divine creation, in the realities of things...
Does anyone else like this scripture about love? :)
A beautiful description of love states:
“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. It does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep...
Um....thanks for the reply...I guess? Seems a bit harsh and unnecessarily confrontational for a friendly discussion but perhaps that's just your style.
I agree..."love" gets equivocated, misused , misapplied, misunderstood and whatever else you wish to throw in there but only in so much as we...
How to find True Love Biblically ! Part 3:
It is all the plan of God and to find it and know which one is.
4. The tests. To find out you need to test to see if he was meant or she was meant and true love is there. The test may vary depending on the person. If he is the one you...
The Bible is tough at times. I’m not an expert on the languages, but try to read from those that are.
Satan sought to overthrow God. He failed. How could he not see the benefit of following God vs staging a rebellion? I really don’t think that has been well explained. There some reference to...
Wow! That's deep. Also, that is exactly what F1fan has been saying.,, But, wow, that's deep! SMH :anguished: But why did A&E's love for God fail. And why didn't the angel who became Satan love God?
Yeah, but that doesn't address what I was saying about the other Christian's opinion/view point...
I appreciate your Christian opinion on this, but did you read another Christian opinion concerning this in my OP showing that humans can also have and demonstrate agape love?
emphasis is mine

In short agency.
we are given the power to choose. Satan et al rebelled.
God’s love is off the charts powerful, however He can’t or won’t violate our ability to choose.
It's sort of like the relationship between Mr. Hand and Mr. Bill on Saturday Night Live. The hand comes down and ....splat, while Mr. Bill screams "Ohhhhhhh Noooooooo."
If a murderer shoots you to death, then says "I am love," would you believe him? Does saying it make it so?
I don't see evidence of any god or its love there, just words of praise.
Since you have quoted the Christian Bible so much, I'll direct my attention to that religion. I have a big problem with the Christian concept of love. I know what love is, and it's not what is attributed to this deity. Nor...
With all due respect, I see no reason to believe that God loves us, except for what is written in scriptures. Please do not take this as the Baha'i Faith position because it's not. My best friend @Truthseeker is always trying to convince me that God loves me and I should love God, but so far...
What is love?
This is a answer (my opinion)
1Corinthians13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but...
As a survivor of childhood abuse, I beg to differ. Where was this "God of love" when my adopted mother was beating the crap out of me and psychologically abusing me, or when I was being sexually abused, or when I was being bullied in school? As a child, I frantically prayed to God over and over...
God loves you. How do i know that?
I know God loves us because we are the creations of God. All humans and animals is children of God.
So i do not need religious books to know that God loves us
But God¨s love is also in religious books
1 John 4:7-8
7 Dear friends, let us love one another...
Then there is Love.
1 John 4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good... (Genesis 1:31)
