Sorry to Disagree, but love cannot be God, but God is Love

I read an article about Love, and I should say I disagree with it. Because God is the author of Love, and God is Love, not Love is God. Love is not an emotion, it is always base on commitment and responsibility, that is why we are save, because even though we act foolish because of the divine commitment of God's love to us, He still save us and love us the same. The Bridge on that Love is Jesus Christ himself, the one who died on the cross, that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life and will see the Father in heaven through Him. I hope this will not anger anyone... but "Love" is created by God and there is no "Love" created after that, there is no other version of that but the one written in the bible.

Absolutely right, God is love and His unconditional love amazes me every day. We don't deserve the incredible gift of Jesus but He sent Him to die for us anyway.

Interesting post! How does this idea work with the flood of Noah's day? Where only those that got into the ark were saved?.

The ark is the representation of Jesus Christ that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God's love never change and it is divine, the problem is if we refuse to accept it. Only Noah's Family were saved and all the animals in pairs, because they are the only one who believed and obeyed God, while the others chose to live their sinful and worldly lives instead of coming to back to God. And no one will allow someone to enter their house who have an evil plot to kill and destroy His family.

We are certainly capable of loving, and when we love, God is loving through us too. God is love, and so all love comes from God. I saw that a Jewish leader/mystic said this about divine energy: The Baal Shem Tov (1698 to 1760) said: "Divine energy is all there is, and everything is divine energy." or God is all there is, and all there is, is God. Yes, God is more than love, and love is just the divine energy that he uses.

Please, Christianity only accept what's the Bible says about God and the love he gave us and still giving us. And how Jesus shown His love for every humanity in that cross. That whoever believes in Him will be accepted and will come home with him in heaven.

@luisadannointed That is true, but the roots of Christianity are shown in the Old Testament, and l like to read it too, to better understand how the Jews came to reject Jesus, despite them being God's chosen people.

I agree with you, God is Love not Love is God. Love is the character of God; we love Him because He first Love us.
