God controls emotions?

[Property Of God]

I know that God created us with a free will to love Him, but does He control also our emotions to love someone or not, or it's also by our free will we choose to love others?

Yes, He does take control of our emotions, when we surrender our life to Him. He knows our everything.

 

[Lion_of_Judah]

He does NOT control you..

Even when you give your life to Him,

your will is....

Still your will.

With it, you choose to sin against Him, obey Him, love Him.


James 3:9-10
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.
10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.


"It should not be".. but we know we are flawed and stumble.

He still loves us just the same.

I believe in "free will" choice.

Even as a Christian and the Holy Spirit abiding in me, It's my decision how much He lives His life through me 24/7.

I don't see God manipulating me, what kind of God would that be?

I disagree with this. If this were true then how come some so called "Christians" engage in hatred towards other Christians? If this were true then how come some so called "Christians" engage in hatred towards non-Christians? Also, if God takes control of our emotions then that means that we can't choose to love Him. I believe that we do choose to love to Him.
