Note: The question did not say anything about whether it's easy or hard to love God. It didn't say whether the demand was justified or not. It doesn't address the consequences (if any) for not obeying (if the answer is Yes). It just asks one simple thing: Does God demand that we love Him? Now, some have answered No or Other based on their understanding of the word "demand", and they apparently don't think that word fits. It's not a
demand, it's a
command, they say. OK, that's fine. Someone else thought I was asking if we would be forced to love God. Not sure how they got that, but OK. But if the question had been "Does God command that we love Him?", I suppose they would have voted Yes.
Bottom line: most AFFers believe that loving God is required. It may be easy, it may even be automatic in some sense, once you have obeyed in other ways (like the
Acts 2:38 way). That's great. It doesn't change the fact that what you folks (most of you) believe is this:
You
must love God.
Anyone disagree?
