Do you love Him?

Peace

Quran & Sunnah
Do you love your God? How much do you love Him? Do you love Him more than you love yourself? your wife/husband? your family? If yes or no Why?

Yes, I do love Lucifer, but not in a way that can be compared to anyone else. I love him as a father, brother, friend, lover...in just about any way you can imagine, but I don't love him more or less than myself and my family. It's just different and I can't explain it.

I wouldn't necesarily say I love my gods, but they are part of the family, like weird aunts and uncles, or great x whatever grandparents.

Do you love your God?
Yes.
How much do you love Him?
As much as I know how to Love him

Do you love Him more than you love yourself? your wife/husband? your family?
I love him more than I love myself, because I don't have love for myself. As far as my wife and family, I love them in the same way; they are God (In my understanding of my faith, because we are all "of God".

I suppose that means that I should love myself too, but I haven't quite ever managed that yet.

Do you love your God?

Yes, of course

How much do you love Him?

I don't like to speak of love in amounts, since it's unmeasurable

Do you love Him more than you love yourself?

Seeing as I suffer from a bit of low-self esteem, I'd have to say yes to that.

your wife/husband? your family? If yes or no Why?

I don't love the gods more or less than my family, it's a different kind of love. Like am I going to love my husband more or less than my child (when I have one)? No, but it's still love, just different. And it's also not like there's only so much of my love to go around, everyone can have some if they want it; I don't sit down and say, my family gets this much, my friends get this much and so forth.

i really like this, Danisty.

for me, God is manifest in the Word, so that is how i best relate to Him. through text and through spoken language as maifestations of His presence and Law. these days i am most amazed by God's love and moved to love and adore Him as a herald back to faith in spite of my many flaws and failings, and in spite of how full of doubts i can get. i love Him dearly for never having given up on me, for helping me along, by the centimenter or mile. i do not deserve that, and am amazed that i can still be called back to faith.

love? in a sense i guess....not the way christians lone God or Jesus, I love my gods because they are there for me, they grant me lessons in life and death, and the like...its hard to explain.

It's my turn to answer my questions :D

Do you love your God?

Sooooooooooooo MUCH!!

How much do you love Him?


I love Him to the extent that I cannot find the right words to express my love for Him, for my love for Him knows no limits.

Do you love Him more than you love yourself? your wife/husband? your family? If yes or no Why?

Sure I do love Him more than I love anbody else in the whole world, for He is the One who created me, and He is the One who provides for me and cares for me and who has bestowed on me all His endless bounties. How can I love anybody else more than I love Him and part of my beloved God's soul is within me and He is the cause of my being here on this earth and He is the one who created my parents and all the ones whom I love? He is the source of eveything so I how can I equal anybody with Him ?

Peace

I agree with what Danisty says! Gods are friends and family, teachers, and supporters. There is no way to measure the love you have for those who are there for you all the time.

I love Isis.

I love Her with every fiber of my being. With every breath in my body and with every ounce of life I have within me.

I love her as myself. I love her as my spouse, my lover. I love her as my mother, my sister, my best friend, my guardian, my confidant, my everything.

Why? Because she IS myself. She IS my lover. She IS my mother, my sister, my best friend, my guardian, my confidant, my everything.
