Hmmm, let's see. God's Word says that God is love. You say He's not.
Who am I going to believe here?
God? Or an anonymous internet armchair theologian?
1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
That's right, because as I said, love is a verb and persons are nouns. I did not think of love as a condition. That is a noun, but a condiiton is still not equivalent to a person.
"Who am I going to believe here? God? Or an anonymous internet armchair theologian?"
It doesn't matter who I am, nor does anything else I've done matter. What matters is what I said, the meaning of words and logic. As far as what God said, He never identified Himself as being love itself, but He did identify Himself as being a person.
"1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is no more than a loose use of words made under artistic license. Read the prior verse: 1John4:7. "7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ...then the rest, 1John4:9-12 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." Love is a verb.
"Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. "
This is a list of condiitons, not persons. These condiitons require persons to act, in order to achieve the condition. So the condiitons are intimately connected to the actions of persons, and are neither the actions, or the condiitons acheived through them are the persons themselves.
