Question:Do you think that our ability to love and be loved is God given or do we make our own love by treating ourselves and others correctly?

Man-made love has an opposite. Love, in the context of God, is your very nature. When you experience Love, it is always inside of you.......

It is all permeating, and what is he difference between man and god made? Ponder that for some time.

God given

"for God so loved the world He Gave"

I think it's man-made because we live our lives and we control our actions and we know what to do so saying that fate and God is why we have our special person is wrong. God does not say who we are attracted to; we do when we weigh over their flaws and good attributes in our mind. So no, I do not believe that love is there because somebody says it is. We choose when and if and who we love.

God given all the way. Its kind of hard to believe the feelings of love are man made (feeling like you cant be away from the other person, love at first sight and others)

IF I LOVE U.THEN I AM THE PRODUCER OF LOVE(LOVE IS SO SWEET,ISN'T IT

there is no such ability to love or be loved it is just a feeling of belonging there. Also God is fictional he has no power to say who loves who.

i believe that love is a instict that came around through evolution as a way of surviving. life can be very trying at tymes and love is wat sees me through sumtymes

he'll never no though...

With the kind consent of God, man is maneuvering His Love towards perfection!!

Higher the Perfection, .....closer to God we are !!!!

God given, God was there and loved us before we were even born!


May you find God's love.

The word "love" means many things.

"Eros" is sometimes translated from the Greek as "yearning"; it's the desire that seems to be imposed on you from the outside.

"Agape" (charity) is much more an act of will. However, whether you believe God gives us that ability or we can generate charitable conduct of ourselves may depend on what you believe about God, and about humanity.

(Since I attribute all my existence to God's grace, that last question becomes meaningless for me.)
