Answer 1

Yes, because God loves us all, imperfect, silly and strange as we may be!

Answer 2

I believe, the entire universe is saturated with God. There isn't a place where God doesn't exist. So how can He be seperate from me? God is the source of Love. How can He not Love you? You might misbehave and your actions may not be right at times. Your're not harming God, when you do, but yourself. Thoughts, fears and quirks are related to your physical self which is closely connected with your senses. Your soul is influenced by your intellect and is therefore connected with God. So I think it's wrong to associate thoughts, fears and quirks with your soul... OK lecture over.

Yes God loves me!

Answer 3

The bible teaches that God loves all, God knows all and God is all powerful.

Yet, their is immense suffering in the world, this is undeniable.

Let's test the options and see which best matches the evidence - it is left as an exercise for the reader to draw their own conclusions:

1) Perhaps he does love all and knows about all suffering but is powerless to intervene.

2) Perhaps he knows about all suffering and he could intervene but does not love people enough to do so.

3) Perhaps he does not know all, but if he did, he loves us so much he would intervene.

4) Perhaps he does know and loves us but is powerless to intervene

5) Perhaps he loves us, doesn't know, but if he did he would which that he could intervene but can't.

6) Perhaps he doesn't love us, doesn't know what is going on and is powerless to intervene.


Having concluded which fits the evidence, if God created the WHOLE universe, would he match the option you have chosen and does he match the biblical view of God?

Given the above, can you justify the existence of your God to me without completely contradicting yourself?

Answer 4

'Believing' is the operative word here..most faiths share a common understanding that 'God is love' or is at least is the potential for it. And if you can believe that you are a created 'expression' of this love..and therefore significant enough for God to acknowledge you as a unique being in this creation...then yes. Our experience of love here on the planet is so often 'conditional' or context dependant that we really have difficulty in understanding 'unconditional love' or radical grace. Thats where the 'believing' comes in. Love is relational, takes time to develop through trust..makes us vulnerable..and is always intimate. So God's love is costly to us..because it is totally accepting of who we are...but it can be totally liberating and life transforming to! It is our free choice what to be live, for if it wasn't ..that would'nt be unconditional love.

Answer 5

Yes..not because of who I am now..though I believe He loves me as just as I am but He is able to love me because His blood has washed away all that there is about me that would make me repulsive...for Him I am as a little child all fresh and sweet from a bath and everyday that I live in this world and become filthy from play is just another day that He spends cleansing me and preparing me for the next day. On that final day when all is said and done and this world is made new...I will be clean forever. I know in the metaphorical response it appears that I feel myself innosent and pure..but in truth without the blood of Christ I am a filthy rag full of death and sin. Yet, I have this advocate in prayer who sees me in my distress and comes to my aid just as a nursing mother draws her small babe to warm embrace. Its how He means us to feel when He tells us that we are written on the palm of His hand and that nothing can separate us from His love. Because even though a nursing mother might forget her child..He will not forget. If that is not comfort..I don't know what else is. I have physically felt this comfort many times when I most needed it and its nothing I could manufacture myself or have ever experienced in any other way. I trust that He loves me..not because I am lovable but because in His lovingness He makes me loveable. Does that make sense? Love in Christ, ~J~ <><

Answer 6

God is a myth made up by smart people to keep all the morons in line. Otherwise you get idiots and A holes running around Godless and naked with their dingdongs flapping all over the place and everyone will need a aspirin.

Answer 7

Hi, yes of course I do. At times it may be difficult to see it, but in my heart I know that G-D loves me. By believing this it makes it easier to go on in life. There is less need for worry if you believe that G-D loves you and is doing whats best for you.

Answer 8

Yes I believe God does love me.

Answer 9

Certainly, many times when I as a human fail and I think that there's no forgiving. Indeed it's satan letting me think so to undermine my confidence in Gods grace. God loves me even when I don't love myself.

Ultimately I do love myself but I always get humanly frustrated that I am not more like Him in my character.

Answer 10

I don't believe ~ I know that God Loves Me with my warts and all. My fears, thoughts, lusts are all a part of my humanity. We live in a fallen world and God knows that better than anyone else.
