often ppl say "why do you need love" but I AM NOT ALLPOWERFUL. Why does everything in existance need more?
Isn't that called greed? Why is the all-powerful entity greedy?

With your attitude, I am certainly glad that I'm not your mother. Why does your mom or dad need love? Are they greedy? I mean, it's not like you owe them anything, right. . .or do you?
A child without love and gratitute for what their natural parents have given them is a selfish, obnoxious little brat. And God has given you a lot more than your mom or dad ever did, no matter how loving and generous they are.
He gave you life, the next breath of air in your lungs, every moment you've spent on this earth so far, and best of all, the gift of eternal life to those who turn away from their sins and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.
A child without love and gratitude for what God has given them is even more of a spoiled, selfish little brat than those who are ungrateful to their natural parents. He owes us nothing, but we owe Him everything. . .and our love is the only thing that's truly ours to give.

GOD doesn't need anything from us. He is perfect and complete in Himself.
GOD created a man and said, "It is not good for the man to be alone." We are the ones who are incomplete. Eve was called Adam's helper. Some people think this is an insult to women, but GOD is also called our "Helper." We need Him to be complete.
GOD would be fine if all of us ceased to exist. GOD would be fine if we all went to hell to be forever separated from Him. If fact every single one of us deserves to go to hell. But in His love GOD made a way that we can be saved and be with Him forever.
It is not that we loved Him, but that He first loved us and sent us His Son. His name is Jesus. He is the only way to be saved.

He doesn't. Why do so many people know so little about what God says about Himself? You don't have to believe it, but if you are going to be critical you should at least know what is in black and white.
Were you ever told by a teacher that the question shows you did not read the chapter?

Love is the WAY back to God, and in the end after you get rid of all the veils you will realize that wath you were looking for was already deep within yourself.

Why does an all-powerful God give love?

It's kind of hard to understnad ur question. Yes God needs love, but God gives love to us. He sacrificed his son for us, and only asks for us to truly believe in him and of course love him. He is not greedy.

God doesn't "need" anything from us. If we chose not to love Him He would still continue on without missing a beat. It is because He loved us first that we love Him

An all powerful god that needs an emotion to feel glorified? That isn't an all powerful god.

Whether we want to admit it or not we all need love of one form or another. Not greed just human needs.

Does Love need love? Or does it give Love?
