| Posted 8/25/2001 3:02 AM (GMT -6) |   | Someone asked me this: "If God IS love, then can I love, if I hate God?" they went on to say "I am a satanist, however, I LOVE my mother."
I'm wondering HOW I should've answered that? It seems like a double bind. On one hand, do I tell them that THEIR love is not love? Or on the other hand do I try to explain what the Bible really means when it says, "God is love." (and go into Agape love, true love, unconditional love and the book of Corinthians? )
So far, I have assured this person that I believe they love their mother. And I have made a feeble attempt to explain how God personifies love in His very essence. Sort of like...God IS love ...and we DO love (a being and doing kinda thing). Well, he wasn't impressed.
Any suggestions?
