In the King James version
The phrase I love you is mentioned 2 times
2 Corinthians
* 11 : 11 Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth. * 12 : 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Deuteronomy 7:9
'Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.'
no where
God's love for us.
The Holy Bible is from God. God love Christians and Christians love God.
I don't see why you couldn't, shouldn't, or wouldn't love another person.The Bible says that if you say you love God, but you don't love anyone else, then you are basically lying about loving God and His love is not in you.
2 times in I John 4.
"God is love"--from the Bible
It does not say this in the bible.
A lot of people say the Bible is the authority, but you have to keep in mind that God wrote the Bible to remind of of his love. So often people make the Bible their god instead of God (if that makes sense). So basically the real authority is God; He just often shows us what to do or how to live through the Bible.because it is god-breathed
In the Bible we are commanded to love our neighbours. We are also told that man was created in the image of God. Surely, the implication is that torture is completely unacceptable.
1 John 4:20 - If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?[NKJV]
I'm not sure what you mean by "forcing love". Love is not an emotion that can by forced. Force and Love are an oxymoran. If you want Love, you show love, not force. The Bible speaks of love throughout scripture, but I do not know of any scriptures that say loveshould be forced. Even God wants us to love Him with our freewill. He does not force us to love Him.
it means to get yourself more in God and read the Bible. pray to God!
