Can you love more than one???

[Falla39]

If we put the first and greatest commandment into practice and get it into our hearts
and then likewise the second that is like unto the first, we SHOULD have no problem
with loving in it proper order.

If we do not love the Lord our God with ALL our heart, soul, mind and strength, and then
our neighbor as ourselves, we are on our own. And what a MESS mankind can make "on
their own". All we have to do is look into the Word of God and see how man always seem-
ed to fall into idolatry. Other "gods" "loves" drawing our attention away from the One True
and LIVING GOD!

IF we love that ONE with all our heart, soul, mind and strenth, we won't have to ask
the question, "Can we love more than one"?? We will know and do what is right in the
sight of GOD.

Chorus of an old, old song:

Is thy heart right with God
Washed in the crimson flood
Cleansed and made holy, humble and lowly
Right in the sight of God?

Feeling affection for someone is not the same as devoting yourself to them IN love, in a marital relationship. Too many people mistake feelings of affection or attraction for *love.*

So I would say that you can be attracted to or feel affection for more than one person, but you decide who you will actually love.

I believe that not every attraction is based only on feelings of affection, attraction, infatuation or lust. I believe that you can actually know that you love a person. It is inherent in man to love, therefore, it's a given that it is possible.

Where I differ with you here is when you say, "you will decide who you will actually love". I think it would be better put as, "you decide who you will be loyal to.
