My definition of love is, that if you "love" someone, you would be willing to die for them, if necessary.

Well, this is often analyzed.  Since I am a Christian, I would say God is Love, since that is what the Bible says.  From life experience I would say true love, is the way you feel for your children or your parents. That feeling when you think about something bad happening to your family or how protective you are of them.  That is love. Something that would stand the test of time.

well, the whole definition is found in 1 Corinthians 13. but my own definition is...\n\nit's beautiful. nothing like it. it's pure and, although it can't be flawless in this world due to sin, the person is flawless to you. you accept everything about them. even their faults. you forgive them and care for them, even when wronged. love DOES NOT cheat or abuse the other person. i thought i knew love before...but then the people always bruised me, lied to me and cheated on me. so i never have known real love. true love WILL NEVER LIE. \n\nso there ya go...hope that helps. God bless and take care!

Any time you violate the command to LOVE, you sin!\n\nThe definition of love is summed up in the 10 commandments!\n\nIt does not matter whether you profess a religion or not, everyone expects to be treated according to the ten commandments!\n\nIf you disagree, tell me which of the commandments is irrelevant to you as far as others interactions with you are concerned!

No. I can't. \n\nI have to base my judgements on what I read in the bible and how I interpret it. \n\nI DO believe (for certain) one thing: \n\nGod loves us (ALL) therefore, once we accept that: \n\nWe have to love ourselves\n\nThen we have to love others as we love ourselves\n\nTHAT pretty much wraps it up.\n \nIf we treat others, regardless of whether we like them or not, how we want to be treated, if we love ourselves, odds are we'll do the right thing. \n\nThe rest is just semantics.

I believe in the God of the Bible. None of your definitions encapsulated that entirely. Somewhere between 1.and 2.

uh.... no. It's not the heart. Technically, the heart just pumps blood. She meant to say "soul". No phisical part of the body makes u feel love. Love is not a meer feeling. It is quite literally the force that created us through the work of almighty God. Love is not something created. It was around b4 creation, or God would have had no reason to create man. Love is a powerful essence that is fused inside of us. we are to use that essence to keep our species alive and to fellowship with our Creator.

Ok....you can't define love as one thing.  Love is something that you feel towards someone or something.  But please do not get love confused with lust.

This is a tough one.  Your original question reminds me of Matthew 10:37-39.  I had trouble with that passage as a child.  I couldn't imagine loving anyone more than I loved my parents.  And frankly, I knew it wouldn't be okay with them, which was threatening.\n\nWhat I've learned is that what we sometimes call love isn't very loving.  Sometimes we condition it such that it is merely a means of control or selfishness.\n\nI believe God calls us to love Him most, because if we love on His terms, we love everyone else better.  When we learn to define love as patience, kindness, truthfulness, hopefulness; having endurance and belief; able to bear all things; lacking envy, pride, rudeness, self-gratification, evil thoughts; not easily angered, not gloating over the failures of another, and neverending - when we define love as serving others instead of demanding that they please us, we love them to their highest good.\n\nMy husband and I both come from dysfunctional homes.  Abusive homes.  What we learned about love in our families, we knew we didn't want to pass on to the children we hoped we'd have or to incorporate into our relationship.  We promised to help each other love God most - even more than we loved each other.\n\nAnd that's hard sometimes.  But loving God most, helps us keep our family patterns out of our relationship.  It helps us love each other in ways that would not naturally flow from what we learned in our upbringing.

Unconditional Love is of God, and can only be given by God.\n\n...But, Yes, I would to be able to Love as God does, instead of this tendency to be human.

The bible really doesn't touch upon that, interesting question.\n\nWhile i'm personally an atheist, i've spent most of my life as a christian, and the thing to remember is that you shouldn't take it literally, you should take it figuratively. While i don't agree with it as a source of knowledge, if interpreted as a behavioural code, it's mostly alright.

I love the Bible.  I am so grateful that God gave us a manual for life and revealed  His love for us in black & white.  "I will hide His Word in my heart so I will not sin against God."

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not porvoked, does  not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails!!!!\n                               1 corinthians 13:4-8a\n\nOnly when a man and woman both know the Creator of Love come together to serve each other as well as others around them, looking outward not inward, can they truly experience what true Love is!\n\nFor when God is the binder and sustaner of a marriage no matter what hardships may come you know that it is God's love flowing through you that allows you to love you mate despite what my go on around you.\n\nWhen you seek God first then and only then can you truly find love for other, whether that be your mate or a homeless person dirty sleeping on the street.

I think you're on to something.\nI Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails.

My question Is there enough love in this world. I don't believe there is and I don't believe that love harms anyone. It's the highest power there is and if it is true love, it doesn't involve hurting anyone.
