I have no idea how you come to the absurd conclusions you do. God IS love. What does that "IS" mean to you? What is a child of any parent??? What does "born of God" mean to you?

Let's deal with your claim first then maybe we can deal with what I think. You seem to want to change the subject when cornered. You said "the spirit of agapa love is God". That's different. You also said that love is not an attribute of God but love is God. There is a difference. I think you know that and are trying to avoid dealing with it.

Example: "the man is white" and "white is the man" are not the same. While the man is white, that is not all he is.

God is love, but love is not all God is. Love is one of many of His attributes.

You too. And your welcome to strain at gnats about what Mystic is saying. Does it matter to you that Agape Love is God or whether God is Agape Love ?.There is also no bullying going on this forum, the moderators will not tolerate it, you get infracted then barred from posting for being so, then you have to come back under a different username each time you are barred.

No . . . it is NOT different! That is why you (like Bill Clinton) do not seem to know what the word "IS" means. Love only exists in consciousness because it is Spirit and God IS Spirit (consciousness). The word "IS" refers to the very essence of God . . . who IS Spirit and that Spirit IS love. When we produce love we are "born of God." What does it mean when you are born of someone? I genuinely do not know what you are having trouble understanding.

It has been shown where the question originated from. Is love your god?

God is my God and He IS love. Every time I love I am "born of God" and know God. What do you think that means, Finn?

Do you worship love as your god? Yes, or no?

I worship God as my God, Finn. What is your point with this cross examination??? Your God commits genocide. Do you worship genocide?

It's a simple question. Why won't you answer it?
