Can you love on command?

[Diablo]

an emotion like love cannot be commanded or demanded from people.

The love that God commands isn't an emotion. It is an act of the will in which you choose to do what is good for that person regardless of how you feel about him. Acting in love toward a person sometimes has an effect on how you feel about him. If you regularly do good for someone you dislike you might begin to like him.

So christians have to love gay people if they live next to them? Yippee.

Christians should love gay people regardless of whether they live next to them or not. Love doesn't necessarily mean approving of what they do. If someone is engaging in activity that is sinful love requires warning them of the consequences of their actions. These sites might help you understand how Christians should express their love for gays.

I had a quick look at two of those sites (thanks for posting them), and they seem to fall into the 'you can change or abstain' category, which is what I expected. So those people don't really love gay people per se, thay just want them to stop being gay, which is not the same thing.

'Sinful love'! What's sinful is trying to deny people their basic human rights.
