Eternal Love

All Christians agree that God has this characteristic of love. However, since God is an eternal God with no beginning, it would imply that there were a period before Creation where God was alone, because He had not created anyone else yet.

The argument against unitarianism is that since love cannot be love unless there is an object to love. They reason that God would need at least 1 more eternal divine person to love.

Rebutal

Nowhere is the bible is it taught that God has to have someone else to be loving. This is actually a philosophical argument.

The philosophical argument itself is also wrong. Anyone, even humans, can have characteristics which are not revealed until the opportunity arise. For example it would not be apparent if a person is patient until he comes in a situation that require patience. The one can say yes, that person is a patient person or not.

Another example, let's assume there is a person who steals something from a store everytime he passes by. At the moment that person is nowhere close to the store and currently not stealing. Would you say he is not a thief even if you know when the opportunity arise he would steal again?

Likewise God could have the characteristic to be a loving God even if before Creation. Just because at some point in time there was no object to love, does not make God not loving.
