God is Love?

[_just me]

God is a big super sized sandwich full of wrath, with a side order vengeance, drowned in a heap of destruction sauce.

Indigestion!

[_quark]

Modern religion has ruined God.

[_consiglieri]

Why go to visit him during church? Why not after church? And why mention it at all?

Because the humor was not lost on me that while God's priesthood holders were talking about exhibiting love, the wolf in sheep's clothing was straying from the flock to actually exhibit some.

All the Best!

When you are thinking eternity and allmighty and allknowing than destroying whole races can be "love".

Please tell me you didn't just write that.

Do you think God's Justice is an attribute of God's Love?

I don't claim to know much about God ("Don't know much theology"), but I will tell you that I think God's Justice is not an attribute of God's Love, but an attribute of God's Justice.

I am straying from the idea that because we want to believe God is Love, that everything about God must somehow be a manifestation of his Love. When we do that, we end up with the drivel Justlooking24 crapped all over the thread.

Instead, I am beginning to see God as a complex being with all sorts of different emotions; all that we have and perhaps maybe then, some.

Does he love? Yes.

Does he hate? I think so.

Is he faithful? Probably.

Is he faithless? It looks that way.

Is he jealous? The scriptures say so.

God is not all of these things all the time, but he possesses all these attributes and we see them expressed at different times and in different situations.

All the Best!

Why? Do you think God should be constrained to what humans think of as "love"?

Do you think there may be a reason we can't comprehend why God destroyed whole races?

What purpose does a God serve whose attributes cannot be understood by his creation?

Yes, consig, if only the priesthood holders were as good and righteous as you. You wanted to make a point or score a point for your own pride and you did what you did. However, a person who is not attempting to score a point might of made a suggestion to the quorum to visit the member. But...your pride got in the way.

Because there isn't some god dude killing/destroying whole races.
