If God is Love then would it follow that Love is God?

unconditional, agape love would constitute God, yes.  however, in english we only have one word for love.  we use it to describe the relationship between too many things.  "i love fruit salad" is one example.  yes, fruit salad may be good, but  would you do anything for it?  die?  "greater love does not exist than this: one lays down his life for his friend."  we need to examine what we are calling "love".  1 corinthians 13 gives a complete definition of true love.  this list also can be used to define God and His characteristics.  therefore, yes i do agree, love is God, God is love.  for without God, can anyone truly love?

Unconditional Love is of God, and can only be given by God.\n\n...But, Yes, I would to be able to Love as God does, instead of this tendency to be human.

Those who love God are called to love Him.

Uh, no. God loves us and as our Heavenly Father he loves affection from children as does any parent.

a god without works is not God, so would be dead. that would be a false god, as the real God has done and continues to do all kinds of works.

Not easily.  It wasn't a completely coherent question.\n\nThe area of pain and suffering is a longstanding issue in the question of the existence of a loving God.\n\n"If good not God, if God not good" goes back a long way.\n\nFor me, that some can believe in spite of terrible suffering and injustice is rather more evidence for the ability of humans to have faith than in the existence of a loving deity.

God IS Love! But as a whole, mankind has rejected God( and His love). \n\nGod DOES NOT send people to hell. He's not willing for ANY to perish. He's simply waiting for you to ask. Is that really so hard!

nice question.\n\nand difficult. i can't answer from a christian point of view, because i seriously doubt the existence of a God.\n\nbut concidering that Lust was created by a Higher Power, i can see the necessity for Lust.\n\nif we were created, i think we were created to Love. Lust and Love together is an undescribable great feeling. I love my fiancee, and of course i also Lust her dearly. \n\nLust without Love is empty. shallow.\n\nBut when you take the love out of feelings, then almost any feeling is empty.\n\ncan it be possible that from the start God didn't even concider the fact that we humans would also do bad things with feelings that were created for the best? I know that God is concidered omnipotent and stuff, but i would feel more respect for a God that made errors in judgement, it would even make sense to me.\n\nif the world would consist from only Pure Love (as an impossible theory) then even a thing as (for example) stealing would not be bad, bcs the victim would love the thief, and even be happy that the thief gained his stolen goods.

God is Love. I do not know what you think love is. If you do not have God, You do not have love. you can not give love if you do not have love. They can not love you if they do not have love. True love comes from God. That is the only source for love. We have lust. Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes. Love is spiritual. Love is not in the natural realm. If you do not have God in you then you do not know what love is. Lust hurts then lust feels good. That is the enemy. Your flesh is the enemy of your spirit. Cry out to God and He will answer you. Your spirit feels void without Him. He put that void in you just for Him to live in. It is your choice if you want Him in there or not. If you reject Him you chose the enemy. Be wise. Ask God for His wisdom. You need it everyday. His mercy is new everyday. Cry out to Him now.

God is, he always is and always was, he was never born nor created. He just is. This is too hard of a concept for the human brain to understand but it is what the Bible explains it to be.

God is Love.\n1 John 4:16\n\n\nThe man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned\n1 Corinthians 2:14

Been reading Plato's Socratic dialogue with Euthyphro?  The question is: Is something good because it is loved by God(s), or is something loved by God(s) because it is good?  It's a delicious paradox.  Since I'm an atheist, I answer it by saying that morality stems from that which is considered good  in the society in which one is brought up.  Immorality stems from that which is considered wrong in that same society.  Right and wrong are not absolutes, but also not under the control of any beings other than ourselves.
