    What did God love before he created? Does god need man to love? God is love. Next Question, Has God preformed the greatest act of love? I would like to know what the Jehovah witnesses say about these questions.

    You will never be able to answer these questions, my friend.

    Real truth is a mystery. We can't say one way or the other.

    Find the truth that suits you. If you believe it, and it makes you a good person; it helps you, comforts you and gets you through your day, then use it.Your life's journey will show you your truth.

    This is my truth, tell me yours.

    I don't think God needs us, we need him. His greatest act of love that humanity knows of is giving his Son to die for us. - CA

    I would give away all I own to save lives especially if I knew for a absolute FACT ,........................................

    I WOULD GET IT ALL BACK IN JUST THREE DAYS. WOULD IT REALLY BE THAT TOUGH FOR GOD?

    I don't think it was just the fact of Jesus dying, but also of him being humiliated. If you were God, would you humiliate yourself, the Almighty God to save humanity. He didn't need to do it, in fact, I dont think he needs us to worship Him. But he did it for love for us. - CA

    Why come to earth to die in the first place? If he is Almighty just change things without making MORE people suffer. I would hardly call it love to let another person suffer, no matter who it is.

    Micheal,

    Good point.

    The all knowing God KNEW beforehand the outcome of man yet he allows not only his son to suffer but billions after him.

    There is a "savior son" in many cultures and Christianity is just one more...........one more that makes no sense.

    . There have been religious tortures far worse than crucifiction by the millions..........just take a good look at the good ole catholic history.

    What did God love before he created?

    The bible doesn’t tell us so he probably doesn’t think its important. Its not like it’s something any one of us can find out...so why bother.

    Does god need man to love?

    Again, the bible doesn’t tell us outright, but from what it does tell us, I'd probably answer yes. He seems to be at a loss when people do not love him. He demands it!...He kills for it! Also, he doesn't seem to hold women in very high esteem

    Has God preformed the greatest act of love?

    Nope. Knowing that his son would be resurrected 3 days later, does not indicate a great love. I personally think the average JW who allows his/her child to die because of man made doctrines is showing far more love for God/WTS...Misguided love, but love nonetheless

    I would like to know what the Jehovah witnesses say about these questions.

    Opps, Should have read the entire post before answering. I am no longer a Jehovahs Witness, so please ignore all of the above
