Definition Of What Is Love?
God is love. Love is God (1 John 4:16, "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."). The Greek word, agape, defines love as unconditional favor and devotion to the well being of someone. This is the love that God has shown to all of mankind. This is the love that He desires from us of our own free choice. This is the love He desires us to express to all of mankind (Mark 12:30,31, "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.").

What Is The Love That God Has Shown Us?
God has shown us real love by his grace and the giving of His Son that all of mankind may have eternal life (John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."). Though all of us through our sin nature fall short of God's righteousness, He expressed His love for us by Christ paying the penalty for our sins (Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."). This love of God is unmerited favor in that this love goes out to all of mankind. When asking what is love, the characteristics of God's love includes patience, kindness, generosity, humbleness, courtesy, unselfishness, good temper, righteousness, and sincerity to name a few (1Corinthians 13:4).

What Is Love Not?
Love is never inpatient, mean, envies, prideful, short-lived, or self-serving. Many people think of love as a two-way agreement with if and then statements. They say, " If you love me or take care of me or satisfy me or say good things about me or give me a lot of money or maintain your beauty, then I will love you." This is not love. Love is patient, kind, generous, humble, courteous, unselfish, good temper, righteous, and sincere (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.").

What Is The Love That God Desires From Us?
By us accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, God gives us the spirit of power, love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.") He has given us a part of him. He asks for us to grow in love of Him and our fellow man. He desires for us to grow in our love of Him and our fellow man that the love of God may be perfected in us (1 John 2:5, "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him").

Scriptures About What is love?
1 John 4:16, "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."

Mark 12:30, 31, "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7, "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."

2 Timothy 1:7, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

1John 2:5, "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him"

questions about sharia and specific details about islam. like asking why pork is forbidden or ask about sodomy as a sin in islam or interest rate on loans..
is it because:
1- they are really curious to learn more about islam
2- to pick on muslims answers and mock them and their religion .
of course all questions about islam are welcomed but i need to know the real motive behind them.
i hope no one take that as an offense i really want to know.
thank you

I am French therefore am most of the time on the French Yahoo Q&A and the answers there are most of the time :
-very short
-often irrelevant
-uncomplete
-sometimes mocking or offending,

here i come for the first time and the length, and quality of the answers are incredible. Can anyone explain to me why this difference? Has Yahoo Q&A been around longer in UK or sth?

If you believe in the Adam and Eve story, what if: Eve disobeyed and picked the apple, BUT Adam refused to take a bite. How do you think the world as we know it would have evolved?
