Is there something like that . . . .and if there is . . .what is His Love to the human beings.

Just to leave them in their misery . . .an earth dying or is there more to Love?

Maybe a Love that we do not understand because we never ventured far enough?

Do we need it or are we complete without it?

Was what we are really the best that He could accomplish?

Love Johan
 
Why do you think that preaching to us is anything other than an utter waste of your time?

It would help if your post was written properly. The grammar is appalling, rendering it virtually unreadable. Have you posted this elsewhere?
 
There doesn't appear to be any kind of God anywhere. So we'll have to do without and try to make something of our lives.
 
If our OP is the same Johan Abrahams who has his own website about God and posts on religious forums, we are in for a lot of incoherent screaming. I'll get the popcorn. Or I could bake some cookies.

Good questions and welcome to the site.

There certainly is a God of Love, for as the saints wrote:

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Why don't you answer the question you ask? If there's a god and that god loves us, what is that god doing for us? Why should such a god be so obscure as to require us to venture somewhere to understand?

Heh, following on from that comment:

1 Cor 13:4 - Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
1 John 4:8 - Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Exodus 20:5 - You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Yeah, about that self-contradiction. :D

Looking at the replies to the first post from a new member, I think you are a bit late.

You left out the next verse that mentions love:

"6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."

Quite lovely, indeed
 
Myth can be inspiring and instructive. Doesn't matter if the myth is of a people, a nation, or a God. When questioned, the first reaction is to think opponents cannot share the noble sentiments in play, and all moral lessons are lost upon them. Or that they hate a people or a nation (gods, perhaps). Wrong. It's just that they also know it's myth. This is the issue, not the nobility, morality, or goodness. The importance of knowing when myth is myth is that unlike truth, myth inspires no sword-swinging.
 
Cthulhu IS a god of Love!

He loves the way you taste the best of all!
