todd1 i agree completely.love is a choice,a choice to react like God would.feelings are fickled ,and often swayed by the desires of the flesh.too many live by their feelings,instead of Gods word. |

Love is a Feeling, which causes good Actions,
Hate is a Feeling, Which causes Bad Actions!
W/O God, their is NO Love! |

To expand on 1 Cor 13 describing love:
It certainly does! And describes it in terms of our actions, not our feelings. In terms of being patient, being kind, rejoicing in truth, bearing all things, believing all things, hoping all things, enduring all things.
Sometimes we dont feel like being patient with those we love...or being kind to the stranger who needs help...but love is a choice of the will, not the heart, which is "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked" (jer 17:9) |

Love is action. John 3:16 says, "God so loved the world that he GAVE his son for the forgiveness of sin." When I was a child, I viewed love as a feeling, but maturity has taught me not to rely solely on my feelings. You can grow to love and respect a person with time even when the feelings are long gone.

WE are to be perfected in love. The Bible teaches that perfect love casts out all fear. Jesus comand for believers is to Love. It is an action but for me,it is also a feeling which is the opposite of Fear. 1cor 13 tells us that it is a feeling of peace. So it is both |

It is the greatest of all of God's commanments, to love the lord thy God with all of thy heart,all of thy soul and all of thy might and to love thy neighbor as you love yourself. IT IS A CHOICE, THE FEELINGS COME FROM THE CHOICES THAT YOU MAKE WHETHER LOVE,ANGER,ETC. In the matchless name of JESUS CHRIST. |

jesus told us to love our enemies.well thats a choice.the world is lost in the idea that love is an emotion.believe me you like someone before you love them,you choose to love. |

Jn 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
:23 ..If a man love me, he will keep my words
:31 ..the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.
Jn 21:17 ..Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Love is felt, but acts prove love as shown by these Scriptures. Loving an enemy cannot mean warm, fuzzy feelings - Mt 5:44.
As faith without works is dead, love without works is dead. |

greetings.How do we 'feel' when we 'lovingly care' for others?We must 'do' so to get that 'feeling' |

Read the Love Chapter-- I Corinthians chapter 13 and decide for yourself.
But I will say this: I don't want to get caught up in feelings only when it comes to love. I like action. Action is better. We won't always feel love but that should not stop us from doing the right thing toward a person or thing. Feelings are fickle. Let the Love of Christ lead you in all that you do, not rely on just feelings. |

Love is both an emotion and an action. Read Mt. 19:19. We are told to love our neighbor as ourself. (Unless there is a depression problem, a person loves themselves more than anything else.) Action is shown in Luke 10:30 and following verses in the story of the "Good Samaritan" So you see, both varibles are in play to really have Agape love - both emotion and this is concluded in action not just words. |

God's kind of love, since He is love, is
Agape. This love is an action. A wonderful scripture of God's love in action is.. St. Jn 3:16.. God so LOVED, that He GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.... Brian. 6933 |

Love is a mindset that shows itself in action. The Father> "'showing mercy' unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments. (Deut. 5:10). Us> "You shall love the LORD your God with all your 'heart', (sub-consious mind, the place where all reflex thoughts & actions originate. Revealed & manifested thru words & actions) and with all your 'soul', (conscious thought, reflective of the central focus of the mind) and with all your 'might' (forceful expression & vigor)." (Deut.7:9). |

It is not an emotion but every emotion in the book can surface because of love. The simple way to look at it is this. There are medications that can make you sad,angry,confused,happy,scared,tired,
energetic etc. There is not one medication in the world that can make you love someone. |

love is not even close to a feeling ,its a choice. |

St Paul:
'Love is patient - kind - it is not jealous - is not pompous - is not inflated - is not rude - does not seek its own interests - not quick-tempered - does not brood over injury - does not rejoice over wrongdoing - but rejoices with the truth - it bears all things - believes all things - hopes all things - endures all things.
Add to this the life of Jesus - one big act of love - and his teachings (forgiveness: The Prodigal Son, compassion: The Good Samaratin etc ..). |

"God is love," we have in 1 John 4:8&16. So, love has to do with how God is, and NOT just how I may feel about some one person I like a lot...NOT just a bunch of emotions and being hung up about some one favorite who I suppose will give me all I want.
Because God is ALL-loving, able to have everything good, WHILE doing good to all people even while they give nothing back (O:}
"'For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?'" (in Matthew 5:46) |

We have enough quoteing scriptures as it is,But I can tell you love is not a feeling it's action. Spiritual love is only avallable for True, on their way to heaven, Believers. |

Love is a command. Jesus told us the Greatest Command is to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. Matthew 22:37. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul discusses all of the actions associated with love. |

I believe love is in word, in deed, and in truth. As far as "feeling", I believe that the most incredible peace and joy come from truly loving in word, deed, and truth
"Beloved, let us not love in word only, but in deed and in truth."
"God manifested His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." |
