<<@CrossExamined says : FREE Download of sermon I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist!: 👉📱https://cutt.ly/cInI1eo>> <<@gi169 says : Love is truth. To God be the glory.>> <<@dallasburns677 says : NOW LOVE HIM OR FACE DAMNATION!!>> <<@slyker25 says : How many children starve to death every day, I wonder?>> <<@KingAries85 says : I would say it’s one of the only religions that has a spiteful and vengeful god I see him as more authoritarian>> <<@Matthew_Holton says : well reading the bible shows your god is more a 'god of genocide', than a god of love.>> <<@yep2005 says : I feel feeling that kind of unconditional love for someone brings you even closer to God because after experiencing it you get an even better idea of how God feels for you. But idk maybe I'm thinking nonsense>> <<@daddada2984 says : To God be the glory.>> <<@daddada2984 says : Amen>> <<@2ndPigeon says : The Greeks literally had a god of love. So did the Nords, Aztecs and Hindu's. What's this guy on about?>> <<@Mathew.Steele.Atheologist says : Correction: only Christians believe their God is loving.>> <<@stephenrandell7152 says : Believing in imaginary cloud people is for 5 year olds! 😇>> <<@ianboswell says : I can say I have never known hate in my life like the kind of hate that comes from Christians on the regular. Like seriously. They are the most hate-filled vile horrible people. Every rapist I've ever known was a hard core christian. Every single person who ever violated another's rights. Every person who spread misery or disease like AIDS within my group of friends claimed that Jesus was their personal savior. Everyone who ever made me feel uncomfortable or bad. Everyone who ever made unwanted advances upon me. Everyone who ever made me want to kill myself. All of those people claimed with a LOUD FERVOR that they believed and and LOVED God and went to church every sunday. So when you say "Only Christianity" has a God of love. I will say this: That the God I know. The true God who has saved me many times is in no way YOUR God.>> <<@mdt6482 says : Glory be to God!!! Thank you Lord 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼>> <<@shinywarm6906 says : I'm a parent. Sometimes I get fed up and my children seem mean and needy. But I'm not like God. I dont torture them for ever if they dont worship and obey me.>> <<@steveprofiler says : If you knew before youre child was conceived, that child did not want to exist, would you procreate to have that child?>> <<@mahlet77 says : 💯 💯 💯>> <<@LordNinja109 says : Any deity that created eternal torment cannot be loving.>> <<@steveprofiler says : God created some people to suffer knowing that they did not vant to be born or live. Is that a good god?>> <<@jebinjames9593 says : Jesus is the man of love and kindness, but what about old testament Jewish God ? . I like Jesus>> <<@singwithpowerinfo5815 says : A tortuous, vengeful, jealous god who sends the vast majority of his created humans to an eternal hell if they don’t love him unconditionally? That is the reality of the Christian version of a god myth.>> <<@brandonmanuel2842 says : Buddhism also shows love. I follow Jesus Buddhism and Taoism.>> <<@walkietalkie1973 says : Agape love, the type of love Jesus has for us 👍>> <<@kristy3380 says : And the next time someone tells you that God loves you, what are you gonna say... WHAT DO YA MEME? Great explanation Jon, I really LOVE it,>> <<@joebrailsford says : God his love>> <<@nothingbutthetruth613 says : So here is what this is equivalent to and you tell me if this is really true love. Imagine a son who continuously commits a crime and gets sent to jail. Each time he does, the court sets bond on him and the father being this loving father according to your definition comes and bails him out every single time he gets arrested. Well, of course the son knows he will always be bailed out so he continues to commit crimes without a care in the world and without any desire to improve himself since he knows his father will always take care of it for him. This is what you claim jesus did for us. Now you tell me is this is really what you think is true love? It sounds like someone who couldn't care less which is why he just bails him out. He has no desire to deal with him. This is not love.>> <<@IAMhassentyou-h5w says : amen and thank you>> <<@chad969 says : If love is an action does that mean paraplegics who aren't physicaly capable of self-sacrificial action are incapable of love?>> <<@warrenrodgers7544 says : We all must do our part and spread the good news be bold be brave be humble>> <<@trick7039 says : There's a massive level of false equivocation being done here. Godly "love" and parental "love" are two very, very different concepts when looking at both under a magnifying glass. Under parental love, if a child does something wrong, there are significantly different levels of punishment given to this child for their various wrongdoings. There is also dramatic differences in punishment from parent to parent showing that some parents are more caring and loving to their children, while other parents are abusive and harmful to their growth. And at the end of the day, we recognize that a good parent is a parent that loves their child unconditionally, even in the face of total rejection and hatred. Love also does not require sacrifice to the degree that is being described in Christianity. Most people would be content knowing that their parents would likely lay down their lives to save them while never actually doing it. Meanwhile, if your parent killed themself to prove that they're serious about forgiving you for some transgression against them (no matter how minor or major), you'd be extremely confused. Meanwhile, God has one end-all-be-all standard to defiance: Hell. Regardless what your beliefs of what hell is, whether it be eternal torment in fire and brimstone, time restricted torment, annihilation or eternal separation, none of these are equivalent to the nature of a loving parent. You claim that God sacrificed something (his Son) to prove that he is serious about his loving nature and the promise of forgiveness. However, he sneakly leaves the hell problem for his "children" who prefer to live without him and feel as if they don't want to have anything to do with him. Not only that, but he clearly didn't lose anything in the first place. He is a tri-omni God. Nothing of finite nature should have remotely any impact on his life, otherwise, he'd be a finite being. So by him creating a finite being of "infinite perfection" (which was just himself) as a scapegoat for his wrath, he's only further proving that he is irrational in nature and an abusive "parent." Instead of being a loving, rational "parent" and just forgiving you while loving you unconditionally, no matter what you do, he killed himself to "protect us" from his wrath but left the wrath on the table as the only option if you choose not to accept his forgiveness. Your God is a moral monster. Think of it like this. Your dad states that he loves you and would be willing to forgive you for anything. Meanwhile, he constantly tells you, "If you disobey me, I'll lock you in the closet for the rest of your life and beat you with my fists every day." You then, let's say, steal a candy bar from a store and get sent to jail for a month. Your dad, to prove he loves you and is willing to forgive you, chops his left hand off to show he isn't willing to use it against you. You find this incredibly strange and tell your dad to get away from you. Your dad is now offended by this action. So when you get home, he throws you in the closet and abuses you for the rest of your life because at the end of the day, he gave you an ultimatum. Either you obey him and receive his love or you disobey him and receive a life of torment. This is called fear mongering. It's literally emotional manipulation.>> <<@zemer4 says : Though I know you're a true believer His name is Yeshua and He calls Himself the God of Israel....not "the God of Christianity" you are grafted unto the olive tree of Israel>> <<@MrRamazanLale2 says : 😂>> <<@peterbassey9668 says : A b s o l u t e l y S i r>> <<@marschlosser4540 says : Love is a verb. All loving fathers at one time or another find a need to spank erring children. God is a very good Father.>> <<@nunyabeeswax9463 says : I have a son that's 37. He's married, has an 11 yeard old son but he won't talk to me. You see, 4 years ago I had a nervous breakdown. What drove me to that point was a combination of a motorcycle wreck, nightmares from Navy service 40 years ago and the unwavering feeling of being correct about Russia collusion narrative. I'm better now but I have little patience for gullible people, racist and those who think Marxist ideology is a great road map for life. My daughter-in-law comes from a interesting family. Her father slung around the N word within the 1st 5 minutes of our initial meeting. Her brother has been in and out of rehab for years. Her other brother robs convenient stores. My son believes I'm a danger to his kid. IDK about having unconditional love for one's child.>> <<@edsoncarvalho4660 says : Fantastic!! Greetings from Brazil!! God bless your ministry!>> <<@jenna2431 says : Sorry, but (not sorry) it's not loving to create a trick (putting a poisonous plant in the kids' food garden, not providing ANY defenses against a dangerous animal) and then providing a solution to being tricked. That's what NARCISSISTS do. It's not loving to create an infinitude of conscious torment for not bowing and scraping for maybe 70-75 years of a lifetime. That's not even just by HIS OWN STANDARDS (eye for an eye, the punishment equal to the offense). Even feckless humans would agree it's better to provide a rehabilitation than simply a punitive punishment. But your "god" is not even that smart. An eternal hell means he'll hear SCREAMS of torture for eternity. Is that what he wants? Because THAT god is not worth serving--thanks.>> <<@Godlimate says : James Cameron’s Titanic is a story about love. Then again, Jack never married Rose, and sex outside of marriage is sin. This movie was about sin that counterfeited love, AKA evil secularism. Rose should have stayed prudent and married Caledon because it’s not about how bad you treat your woman. Love isn’t an emotion, or a feeling. It is a covenant before God. Unite with me Christians for team Caledon. Let’s not forget also that he saved a child, while Jack did nothing but waste everyone’s time and sunk to the bottom of the ocean like the sinful disease that he was.>> <<@ta3p-theannex3project84 says : The calvanists make it a depressive religion.>> <<@mickqQ says : There are no real gods, There are only people that believe gods are real>> <<@mickqQ says : Yes The god that watches us starve to death by the millions Suffer horribly from “natural” disasters Die from disease by the billion The god that watches us suffer upon suffering … loves us But not enough to help>> <<@markh1011 says : Ah yes the god of love. - "grovel to me or I will torture you for eternity". The guy who supposedly tried to make people, screwed it up and then with his infinite wisdom and power decided that the best way to fix this was to drown them ....babies and all. Yes... love.>> <<@AtheosCity says : Bible god is the worst character in the history of fiction. Anyone who imagines bible god is love either hasn't read the bible or is severely corrupted.>> <<@StrengthandHonor says : There is an important distinction that MUST be stated to replace the misconception many have regarding the concept of "love." What many mistaken for being love are actually only feelings like infatuation, lust, and attraction--which are NOT Love, they are feelings. LOVE is a choice--NOT a feeling. We do NOT choose how we feel or who we are attracted to, lust after, and become infatuated with. However, we DO freely choose IF we act, and HOW we act, on those feelings (attraction, lust, and infatuation), which are indeed conditional and ephemeral--whereas love is unconditional and internal. Therefore, if what you experienced is conditional, then it is NOT (and never was) REAL love. LOVE is being selfless and giving--NEVER taking or expecting and needing it to be reciprocated, as they say, “it is, its own reward.” LOVE is UNCONDITIONAL, profound, and it is an act of selflessness, maturity, morality, integrity, nobility, and intelligence. “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of GOD; and everyone who loves is born of GOD and knows GOD.” (1 John 4:7) LOVE a bond, a pact, a sincere connection, and covenant between one individual and another, an unbreakable commitment, as giving one's word should be, just as the Word of GOD, binds us to him and all creation. “But above all these things put love, which is the bond of perfection.” (Colossians 3:14) And we know this to be inherently true because the first example of what real unconditional love was provided by the source in which love originates from, who showed us what REAL love is and how REAL LOVE is to be applied, and that is GOD. GOD created us NOT because he needs us, but because he LOVES us, and he then showed us again his love, by saving us from ourselves--NOT for his sake, but for ours. (Genesis 1; John 3:16 & 15:13; Luke 6:35 & 10:27; 1 John 2:15-17, 4:7-13, 4:19, & 4:20; Leviticus 19:9; 1 Corinthians 13 &16:13-14; Romans 28; Colossians 3:14) Which is why he asked us to "LOVE our neighbors and our enemies" because love is NOT based on feelings, it is a CHOICE made by our free will to commit to, serve, and honor, someone or something selflessly, willingly, despite how we feel, and in so doing, becoming better for having done so. As we love, we strengthen our bond between each other, and in so doing, reconnecting back to, and strengthening our own connection with GOD, with the love we are selflessly sharing and giving to others with no expectation of reciprocation, which is how we truly become godly. GOD does NOT need anything from us, he does not need us to love him. But we do need everything from him, and the most important of which is to trust and love him, and we will become better for doing so, with humility and sincerity. Those who choose to love (not lust) become better for having selflessly done so--whereas those who chose not to love, become worse for having selfishly chosen to do so. Leftism does NOT advocate for love, it advocates a replacement for it in the forms of destructive lust and irrational feelings, which are very poor substitutes for what real love is--which is why many, who drink the leftist cool aid, confuse love with lust (and vice versa) or doubt the existence of real love entirely--especially the concept of "unconditional love"--because many of those that reject the existence of real unconditional love also tend to reject the existence of GOD, and when they do, they are rejecting the six main gifts that stems from GOD--truth, knowledge, love, courage, strength, and life--to embrace lies, ignorance, hate, fear, weakness, and death, which is what leftism always produces. “He who does not love does not know GOD, for GOD is love.” (1 John 4:8) That is why a baby (new life) is consider "love" and why another term for sex is "making love" because it (sex) is the process of making a baby (love/life). But sadly, this once common knowledge has been forgotten and no longer taught, and that is NOT by accident, that is the fault of leftism. Making love is NOT automatic, it is a CHOICE, and one that many have taken for granted and behaved irresponsibly with because they do not know GOD, and therefore cannot know love. Leftism beguiled women into believing that women create life, to inflate their egos, making them more important than men, when that is a lie. Women CARRY life, the life that men place inside of them, and together (by becoming one flesh) do they then (like GOD) produce human life, which leftism strongly advocates against by justifying the murder of those babies. How can an ideology of death possibly claim to know or promote love, while it promotes division and hatred between those created in the image of GOD, capable of reproducing life through the act of love? In conclusion: Love is a choice (a covenant) that you make with those who CHOOSE to love. I choose to love GOD, I choose to love my family and friends, I choose to love my country, and I choose to love my enemies--it is NOT a feeling, it is a conscious mature and mature decision to commit yourself to someone or something that you, once you make it, should NEVER break, because it is selfless and unconditional. If it is conditional, selfish, and motivated by emotions, then it is not, and never was, love. Joshua 24:15 John 8:32 & 14:6 1 Corinthians 2:1-9 Psalms 28:7, 34. 37:30-31& 40 Ephesians 6:10-18 Strength and Honor!>> <<@Derek_Baumgartner says : Thanks for this!>> <<@ktan6738 says : Love - charity, compassion n forgiving>> <<@darrellcollins877 says : AMEN>> <<@johnklein4558 says : Excellent explanation John! I’d add asking the person who “believes in a god of love…” “Did your parents love you? Did they have rules for you to follow and punish or correct you when you ventured outside those rules? How can that be possible? In your view if God insists you follow His rules then he’s not a god of love so how could your parents have truly loved you if they stopped you from doing something you wanted to? Hey Ted Bundy murdered women because it made him feel good. Does your “god of love” love what Ted did? Why not?? It made Ted feel good so why wouldn’t your god love him?”>> <<@elguan737 says : So next time you hear that the Christian God is not a God of love what are you gonna say.... "Cross examinnnnnneeeeeed! " No? OK. I'll see myself out.>> <<@Almighty_GOD says : This Apologist Is On Auto Pilot and Has No Light to Offer Any of You that Will Save You Today...Any beneficial info shared here shows He has NO CLUE what Jesus Christ Taught!
