How can you debate a personal question to each person? Debate section should have something to be debated or discussed to show one way or the other. A point to be rebutted or refuted. Possibly falsifiable.What was wrong about that`?

I agree fullyIf 'God' is the essence of all love, light, life, power and reality itself, then by recognition and realization of this self-cognizing and actualizing PRESENCE, it is self affirming in the positive I AM - in this context of omnipresence, 'God' sources all, permeates all, encompasses all to infinity; - to love 'God' is to love LIFE and all its qualities/attributes thru-out creation.

Not sure who this 'you' is. Is it the soul, the ego/personality, or the Self? There are differing views.I love God very much
Do you love God?

Not sure what 'love' is. Emotional love? Infatuation? Appreciation? The supposedly deeper spiritual 'love'. People differ on that too.
Not sure what 'God' means either. Obviously there are many views on that idea.
The Self is Siva. They are one and the same. Do they love each other?
The ego/personality, in my view, isn't capable of deep love, but it has all kinds of things like attachment, lust, infatuation, kindness, that can all be interpreted as 'love'.
The soul or soul body is sort of a midway between the other two 'yous'. It's the deeper sense of the individual seen over many lifetimes, and is seeking merger with Siva. That's not love, in much of any way.
Very complicated question. Thanks for posting it.
Yes, I love God, the One God; Creator of heaven and earth.I love God very much
Do you love God?
I believe that God loves me but that does not mean that I love God.That would depend on whether he loves me..........
I believe that God exists somewhere, independent of anyone's mind, but I have no idea where or how God exists...To my mind we can only love actual beings that can engage with us independently of our minds. God is compeletely dependent on the human mind. Disagree? Give examples of any God that exists independently of a human mind.
Right, whatever idea of God a person has in their mind there is no way to determine whether it's true or not. As it is we do have a great deal of knowledge and what we understand of the universe does not support what religions claim about their gods. So there is no rational basis to conclude any God exists, or even that they are plausible.I believe that God exists somewhere, independent of anyone's mind, but I have no idea where or how God exists...
It's like mental theater. To my mind it's like watching Star Wars and treating it like it's a documentary.Baha'is are enjoined to relate to God through Baha'u'llah, as Christians relate to God through Jesus.
I would say good for you to not think you love a person you never met.So I would have to love Baha'u'llah in order to love God, as Christians love Jesus.
I revere and respect Baha'u'llah, just as I do God, but I cannot say that I love either one of them.
That is correct.Right, whatever idea of God a person has in their mind there is no way to determine whether it's true or not.
No, what we know does not support the claims that some religious people make, such as the claim that God is all-loving.As it is we do have a great deal of knowledge and what we understand of the universe does not support what religions claim about their gods.
Yes, it is kind of like that, and I don't go in for theater.It's like mental theater. To my mind it's like watching Star Wars and treating it like it's a documentary.
Good point, and I could never do that anyway. I tried that once when I was on a dating site and I fell flat on my face.I would say good for you to not think you love a person you never met.
I love God very much
Do you love God?
With all due respect, how do you KNOW that God loves you, or that God did any of that?
I so love God! Even when I wasn’t lovable, He still loved me with all of my faults, stinking thinking and smelly life!
And when I responded to His love and loved Him back, He saved my marriage. Then He healed my body in multiple areas, cleaned my mind and mouth, supplied needs and never leaves me no matter what happens.
I glad you love God too

Sorry, I am starting to talk like an atheist, but they do have some good points.
Yes, I understand that because I was married to my late husband for 37 years.Surely, I don’t hold against you the questions… they are actually good questions..
How can I make it understandable? Maybe by relating with my wife? How do I know she loves me? By what she does, by what she says, by how she acts! Those are some ways.
Time is another way… going on 50 years of marriage where she hasn’t left me
Now I am even more befuddled. Surely God does not speak in an audible voice or hug you like a person would, so I have to conclude that this is just a feeling you have of being loved, and I don't know where it is coming from. Mind you, other believers have the same kind of feelings but I never had them. I am not saying it is not genuine, I just don't understand it.His presence is tangible. When He has spoken—it wasn’t my voice. When He has enveloped me with His love… I know it wasn’t someone else just as I know my wife’s hug.
I believe that there are miracles that heal people, and if there is no other explanation they might be attributed to God, but what about all the people who are not healed? Does God play favorites?It certainly wasn’t me that healed me instantly and it wasn’t a doctor.
I guess you are referring to the promises in the Bible, that they have been fulfilled?His truthfulness.
I do believe that God manifested Himself in Jesus, but that is not the same as God actually showing all of Himself. I am with the atheists when they say that God is in hiding. The attributes of God were manifested in Jesus, and the will of God was revealed, but the essence of God is hiding.There are just multiple ways that He shows Himself.
Thanks, but I did not think you would take offense because I know you.LOL… not a problem. No offense taken
Absolutely! With every piece of my fiber.I love God very much
