The discussion critiques C.S. Lewis's argument that 'God is love' requires a multi-personal deity. It emphasizes the necessity of scriptural evidence, especially from a oneness Pentecostal perspective.

Furthermore, the idea that God's love is inherent and freely chosen underscores its biblical foundation, challenging the notion that love depends on relationships.
