God says “Love me or die”

[Watson]

Are you trying to tell me the Bible doesn't say God is demanding we love him?

Whether I love him or not is entirely up to me? Well knowing this dude I'm meant to be loving is going to send me to hell if I don't.. I'd be utterly doomed because I cannot chose to love him and loving such an entity seems somewhat difficult and well.. catastrophic. If nothing stood in the way of this being the truth, I'd wish God never created me with the ability to think like this because I don't want to rot in hell with a talking snake..

Another point is.. Why did God give me the ability to think this way when he knew it would be the reason I can never love him?
Gee.. thanks God.. I think i'd rather put up with Lucifer.. You obviously don't love me.

Lucifer ain't gonna love you either, friend, but that's a whole 'nother debate.

I'm not telling you that God is going to send you to hell for not loving Him. He's not. That's not what the Bible says, either, but you have to read The Bible from a position of love. There's a message there that is not meant to be read metaphorically or literally, it is something between the lines. When you see it, you'll understand.

So no, the Bible does no tsay God demands we love Him, and neither does God himself.
