And you call this two ridiculous options freewill? Your God is indeed very dictatorial and confused.

Reason why never compel anyone. Even Lucifer had is free choice.

SHALOM!

I don't love god but I believe in the existence of a creator.
god is for religious folks.

IF YOU DO NOT believe in The God of The Bible, nor in the gods of other Religions, YOU MUST DEFINE WHAT YOU MEAN BY "GOD," or you will just be spreading confusion.

The concept of "GOD: THE SUPREME BEING" implies belief that HIGHER STATES OF BEINGNESS exist, and are therefore attainable, by means currently Known, Unknown, or Unknowable.

That said "SUPREME BEING" created our ancestors, and has likes and dislikes concerning how He/She/It wants His/Her/Its Creations to operate and behave- implying the existence of COMMANDMENTS for which there are REWARDS when they are OBEYED, and PUNISHNENTS or FORFEITS, should they be TRANSGRESSED.

You must explain your position on these factors when you are talking about your own "GOD," or else you will just be talking nonsense to those who think that you mean the same "God" they believe in.

Then I have no choice than to love him since I'm being threatened to choose him or die

And that in itself ain't luv. And you know, this is exactly what those religious folks call love for God. A love enhanced by fear of an imaginary being

the meaning of God is the creator of everything. or maybe u don't believe in it. in anything u believe make sure you give it a good thought for man itself is s mystery. how do we get here and why are we self aware unlike any other creatures

Which of the gods is the O.P referring to? Krishna, Allah, Osanobua, Yahweh,Amadioha, Vishnu, Zeus. I'm confused!

Nay,we don't believe in the same god.

why not do your own research before people confuse you the more

Evaberry:
I don't love god because god doesn't exist

are you sure? don't u think something brought all this things we see to pass? just like when u see things man have created, definitely man has brought many things to pass. take computer for example

Ioannes:
You can't claim to love God if you don't know Him, and you can't serve him if you don't love him.

That's why our penny catechism teaches us that God created us to know him, to love him and to serve him.

At least 99.99% of humans living on earth don't know God, including myself. So how can we claim to love him.

We can only love him to the extent to which we know him.

And yet, we can't know God until we fully know ourselves who were created in His image and likeness.

1 John: 4. 19. We love him, because he first loved us.

Plain and simple......

Ok research has begun. So which one is your god maybe I can start understanding it and start following it if convinced.

joe4christ:

That's not love, that's called reverence. .......

That is something that determines how you conduct yourself when you perceive a Supernatural manifestation that suggests that the Manifest Presence of God is around you.

It is very common in scripture and even in meetings where Matured/experienced Christian leaders are. ........

Read your bible and seek understanding.......

He's the only being who blesses without collateral. The agape loving God who protects and love us irrespective of our flaws. Only that is enough for me to love him

joe4christ:
I dont.
How can I love someone I've never seen nor met before

That is simply a matter of discovery vs Revelation. The same way, you may not really appreciate the air that really don't see but can sense until you approach the choking stench of some really bad smoke......

SHALOM!

Ioannes:
You can't claim to love God if you don't know Him, and you can't serve him if you don't love him.

THAT IS NOT LOGICAL.

An ignorant person can claim anything they like.

Someone once reportedly whined to an American Preacher:

"Aw- you KNOW ME- I've listened to all your tapes!"

He was surely serious.

CHRISTIANS think they know God, and that they love Him, but they DON'T.

If they knew God, they would NEVER be ABLE to SIN again.

. 1st JOHN 3:4-10.

TO LOVE GOD, one MUST first CHOOSE LIFE:

. DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20.

This is THE ONE REALITY: all other viewpoints are IMAGINARY.

That's why our penny catechism teaches us that God created us to know him, to love him and to serve him.

I AM NOT FAMILIAR with the term "PENNY CATECHISM," but it sounds like just another ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY HYPOCRISY to me, which, when followed up, will lead to a LEANING TOWER OF BULLSHIT- because the Organizations have NEVER lived up to their HYPES.

. MATTHEW 23:1-15.

That is called: "THEY SAY, AND DO NOT."

At least 99.99% of humans living on earth don't know God, including myself. So how can we claim to love him.

THE WORD OF GOD SAID THAT CHOOSING LIFE ENABLES US TO LOVE HIM.

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THAT OBEYING HIS COMMANDMENTS IS LOVING HIM.

. 1st JOHN 5:1-5.
. JOHN 14:15-27.

You hide the identity of your Church from us, because it is one of those that do not believe in The Bible.

We can only love him to the extent to which we know him.

SHOW WHERE GOD EVER TOLD US SUCH A THING!

. EXODUS 20:1-7.

And yet, we can't know God until we fully know ourselves

SHOW WHERE GOD EVER TOLD US SUCH A THING!

People like you just drop this sort of bullshit, and laugh with glee when people who blindly trusted you destroy themselves trying to apply your nonsense.

WHAT HAS HUMAN SIN EVER TAUGHT YOU ABOUT GOD?

If NOTHING can be learned about GOD from Human DISOBEDIENCE, WICKEDNESS, and DEPRAVITY- how can KNOWING OURSELVES possibly enable us to KNOW GOD?

You will not say (I predict,) because that is NOT THE MISSION of you people.

We KNOW GOD by KNOWING YAHSHUA.

. JOHN 8:30-32.
. JOHN 14:1-9.

who were created in His image and likeness.

NO, WE WERE NOT.

ADAM was created IN THE IMAGE OF GOD- but HIS DESCENDANTS are merely IMPERFECT COPIES of COPIES of COPIES of COPIES of COPIES etc of THAT ORIGINAL CREATION.

ANIMISM says that since EVERYTHING was CREATED BY GOD, therefore GOD is in EVERYTHING, and THEREFORE we can worship ANYTHING.

You belong to an Organization that worships CREATED THINGS, don't you?

I love God because He is faithful.. He is always there to help

As for the commandments, those are guidelines for His children to lead a better life. We're not perfect (even angels aren't 100% perfect as expected, some fell)

I recently got involved (strictly friendship) with a snake who unknowingly to me had hidden agendas. Wanted to use me as front in her adulterous lifestyle. The fool used all I told her against me and was even attacking me with alts.

I thank God for revealing all to me promptly and was able to break things off fast. I feel at peace now than ever

The Creator of Heaven and Earth as described in Genesis chapter 1 & 2!

The Reasons are Endless.

SHALOM!

nmreports:
Because he is:
1. Merciful.
2. Answers prayers.
3. Long suffering.

FAIL!

The ONLY Way to LOVE GOD is to FIRST CHOOSE LIFE.

. DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20.

This is not "THE BEST WAY," or, "THE MOST CONVENIENT WAY," the "LEAST PAINFUL WAY," nor "THE TRADITIONAL WAY," nor anything like that.

This is THE ONLY WAY THERE IS OR CAN BE, period.

. JOHN 12:44-50.

ALL OTHER ANSWERS ARE TOTAL BULLSHIT FROM PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LOVE GOD.

Omooba77:

Are you talking of Yawheh the one who has Master's degree in genocides, the one who approved the mauling of children by a bear, the one who hardened a man's heart and still killed the man's firstborn and other firstborns in that region,and the one who impregnated a virgin teenager? It's also in other chapters of the same book where Genesis came from. No thanks!

No one has given me concrete evidence of the one who created us so far. I prefer to remain on the I don't know side for now and I don't see anything wrong in asking you of yours, If I crosscheck yours and find out it's bullsh*t too, I'll throw your god idea into the wastebin like others. There's no misleading me there.

I love God because he is God.

I like your attitude, in fact God prefer people like you honestly speaking. the idea of not believing just any God is the first step to knowing the true God. For Jesus said don't believe just anybody especially this pastors that mislead people with their greed and misunderstanding of Scriptures. to know the true God u need to search for it, for God has hidden itself cause of too much sin

He loves us first. He reveres in The Excellence of His Creations and worships us in reciprocal relationship to our activities on The Sabbath.
He created us selfish individuals that we may seek Righteousness from Him.
He taught us how to Pray for forgiveness of our Sins as we forgive those who sin against us. We should always ask Him not to lead us into Temptations to disobey His Commandments and Instructions and when we're in it dinning and winning with Satan in its nnegatives, we should always pray to Him to deliver us from our adversaries.

1 John 4:19-20 - We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

In addition to that OP... we all should be weary of self righteousness (loving God is a good thing, yet a work... which of itself doesn't justify us in God's sight... only the work and sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ does).

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16 (also Galatians 3:10)

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Because God is love and he love us first before we love Him.
Bible Reference: 1John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
