John 15:12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 1
1John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.
Yes, when Paul says "God is love," he does not mean there is no God, but only love. Much of what people call love in the world is twisted and wrong.
Romans 10:5 Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on the law shall live by it. 6 But the righteousness based on faith says, Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 or “Who will descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach); 9 because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?
Yes, our opposition of legalism should not go to the point where we ignore our sin and the proper consideration of what is right and wrong.
Yes I am going to stop here right before the one which displays the archaic misogynistic attitudes of ancient Israel and the atrocious off-hand theology of Paul on this issue.
Love is not a feeling, it's where you choose to walk.

Experience has always been the best teacher.
However, if you desire to debate the issue.
I will gladly oblige you without Biblical constraints.

If you do not love those whom you can see, feel, smell, hear and touch.
How will you love that which you cannot? To love others is loving God.
And it is a choice you make predicated on your own experience.
Not because you hold to that of a legalistic blood sacrifice?
Rather than the Spirit, itself.
