Good Q*.
.

Answer 2

Fatherly and Motherly love should have no distinction as far as comparing it to being close to Godly. While Father are oftentimes portrayed as the provider for the home and the Mother as the keeper of the house the expression of love differs in what you call genderly. It could be that father being a man could be at ease playing with the boys in rough games and a little more careful in playing with girls. While most women will just watch their boys play and making sure he is not hurt they do however would sometimes play a clean game with them.
Christian Love on the other hand is expressed through the teachings of the church on charity and compassion. There are Christians who does express love because it is what their religion says but normally out of those teachings most of them have been expressing their love naturally and not necessarily coming from the church's teachings.
Non-believers love normally express their love because it is their nature to do so or as they learned from their sorroundings which they may have found good to do.

Answer 3

One is done for the LOVE of GOD. By his commandment.
Other is done for personal desire.
Remember there is no one good save the Father.


A Mothers love has a bond that goes beyond what that of a father holds.
Its shown in almost every creature.

It does not matter how much you give or love- It all falls on do you believe in Jesus.
We can earn or buy our way into salvation.
Its free- debt paid for by Jesus on the cross.
Just believe and you will be saved.

Answer 4

All love comes from God because God is love. Christians love because they have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside and will tell you the truth even if it is hurtful because the truth hurts sometimes. The truth is that God really does love you and died on the cross for your sins in the form of man (Jesus). Many people can't handle this because they don't want to accept that God loves them enough to do that for them.

Human love is just an outward showing of caring. We all have God's love in us somewhere. So really there is no difference in which way that we love each other because love comes from God. Whether we are Christians or any other faith, we all come from God and that is why we all can (at times) love one another. It is only when Satan steps in that we tend to not love one another. Thank you for your question.

Answer 5

Love is Charity--there is no difference. Gender has no bearing in Love but it's expression may vary from person to person because of how we are taught or how we have learned to express it. Either way, if the recipients of your Love doubt it's sincerity, is it still love? What is the difference between love that is accepted and love that is not?

Answer 6

Christian love for others is based on Christ's love for them. Jesus also commanded it. Their love is a desire to carry out God's will by loving their follow man. they do this to glorify God and Christ. When a Christian gives of their time or money or effort they do this again to glorify Christ and in his name because of Christ's love for them.

Non Believers love because it is in their hearts naturally. They do not need an excuse to love. Non believers give of their time and money and effort because they truly desire to help those in need.

What gets me is the Christians will tell us that pagans do not love or have charities and are not giving people. This is positively not true. I admit there is not as many charitable organizations in the name of paganism as there are Christian, but they are out there just the same and most pagans are forced to donate and give through christian or secular organizations..

A pagan or non believer is just as loving as the Christians. I see people in need being taken care of by Christians and non Christians.

Answer 7

xtians mistranslated Jewish scripture and extra hell and evil beings of mythology that don't exist in Judaism, like muslims mistranslated the xtian bible, and extra much greater evil beings to create the pagan quran. Judaism used the international's mythology in complicated parables to tutor that actuality (tree of existence) is God's kingdom, and forbids mythology as all originating from one source - babylonian mythology. In Judaism, the gods of the non-Jewish international are demons/imaginary (Deuteronomy 32:17) - they do no longer exist, and Judaism has no hell. xtians replaced a rustic with a guy/god of mythology. once you recognize whom you have harmed, you will mourn as though for an basically son. as though. God is personified as exhibiting his fury by using sending you a blast of terror (Psalms ninety:7). you do unlike God, you're frightened of evil, in spite of the undeniable fact that this isn't any longer evil it is terrifying you. clearly, in case you reject actuality then you particularly would be delusional and paranoid. reason and result - and what can scare you better than your man or woman mind's eye? Israel is God's chosen messenger, so step aside fool!

Answer 8

Christian love is supposed to be "agape" love. The way that God and Jesus love us. And I do think different genders and cultures for that matter express love differently.

Answer 9

as a Christian, i believe that all humans are made in the image of God (believers and nonbelievers alike). so every human has the capacity to love. i believe love is a reflection of God, which can also be expressed through nonbelievers' charitable love, parental love, and marital love. it kind of fits in with general revelation, i think. but often others "love" because it makes them feel good. Christian love does not always feel good (sometimes it is downright heartwrenching) but we still do it... hope this helps!

Answer 10

Since I am a Pagan, I do believe in higher powers, its still spiritual love. from my point of view, Christians have selective love, they don't love everyone, they love only if. and heaven help you if you PAGAN,
Yes I think the way we show love is different people to people men to women, but the way we show doesn't necessarily mean we love any less or anymore.
