My question for debate

Hi guys, I wanted to raise a question and see all your thoughts. I won't state my own views until other people have had a chance to speak.

My question is WHY does God love you/us?


It's not as easy to answer as it seems. If you were to suggest that it is because he made us, then why does that necessitate love? There is a mess in my kitchen, and I made it. Not only that, but I hate that mess and I will (eventually) do whatever it takes to put an end to it.

Mull it over and speak your mind. :thumbs:

Why does God love us, especially when we reject him daily?
What have we done to deserve his love?
Why doesn't he shove a lightning bolt up our donkey?

An irrational answer is that he still does...
Does that mean God's crazy too?
YES!

now, THAT was not an answer I was expecting!
Because he's crazy...

Now that would also explain a lot of other things too. Like why the weather in England is never as the weatherman predicts, for instance

I may just be repeating Luemas here, but another way of putting it would be to say that God moves in mysterious ways.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'because of his grace.' Surely his grace is a result of his love for us, not the other way around?

The best answer I think I ever received was "Conrad, Its because you're lovable!" Which greatly pleased me.
My view is that God loves because God is Love. Not a dude with a big old-testament beard, but love. God loves because that is what he is and all other things extend from that.

Why do I say God is love? well the Bible says so. :)

Ill vouch for Concolor when God moves in Mysterious ways. But hello the answer to this one is easy. We were made in HIS image so we were made to reflect him and everything that he is. Most of us dont though. We were created to have a relationship with God on this Earth. The life of a true Christian is all one big Test that God wants to see if his servants find all the answers and passed with flying colors. And too bad you cant cheat on this test lol

Why does God love us?

He just got out of a really bad relationship, and decided to settle with us. Kinda sad.
Hippies make me angry.... and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
