1. Does God love you?

No. Love is an exclusively human emotion which occurs when the happiness of one person is essential to the happiness of another. Since an omnimax Being cannot experience the subjective state of 'happy', it cannot love.

Neither God nor the bible describes himself as an 'Omni-max' being.

Further More there seems to be quite a bit of evidence that Humans are not the only being that experience Love.

So does God love us? Not all but most of us yes. How do we know? "Fore the bible tells me so."

2. Does God answer prayers?

No. Answering a prayer would entail that God has changed a facet of the universe on behalf of a particular penitent. Since God is, by defintion, immutable, God is logically unable to change or to effect change.

Ah, no. Prayer is not a petition to God to change the universe to fit your personal want or desire. Prayer is the method in which Christ Himself taught us to use to help us Change "Our will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." To "God's will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."

Again prayer is to change our will and not God's. your thinking of supplication/petitioning God. which is not a sin, but at the same time is also not praying.

Did God create the universe?


No. If God is perfect, then God is, of neccessity, complete (incomplete things cannot be perfect). The only defintion of completes that is coherent is something that is finished, that has no lack. One could argue, I suppose, that God and the universe are coeval, but that doesn't permit God to perform a creative act.

Where in the bible does it say God is or always has been complete?
If the bible does not claim being 'complete' is an attribute of God then it is safe to assume your understanding of perfection imposes a state of eternal completeness artificially onto God.
If that is the case then know: Merrium Webster does not agree with your definition of perfect.

If being eternally complete is not apart of the definition of perfection then God could have had a need to create and subsequently filled that need through creation.

4. Is God both merciful and just?

No. Mercy and justice are qualities in conflict - if God evinces mercy, then God has abrogated justice, and vice versa.

What makes you think God needs to be merciful and just to be God? Is this more Omni max 'stuff?' Again God does not describe Himself as 'Omni max' He describes Himself as "I am. The Alpha and the Omega, The beginning and end." In short God is whomever He wants to be when ever He wants to be it. He has the first and last word on all matters, which means He is not tied to the foolish Omni-max paradoxes you and epicrus have confused yourself with.

5. Is God necessary?


No. There is not, and never has been, a phenomenon that, in the final analysis requires God as an explanation.

So you are claiming complete knowledge of all known and potentially unknown phenomenon? Doesn't that make you God? Which would be the final conclusion one would logically come to, if someone such as yourself can honestly make a claim like the one you made...

Is God afraid of anything?

Yes. Kaiser Soze.
