Someone quoted 1 Corinthians 13:13
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Since God is Love, can the ungodly express love when they have no faith and no hope?
All the verses in the Bible about love are written to those who are already saved. I contend that the unsaved cannot love because they are dead in their trespasses and sins, which means they are devoid of God's Spirit, which gifts Christians with the love of God.
"All the verses in the Bible about love are written to those who are already saved. "
WE GOT bible verses stating the opposite.
Luke 6
32“If you love those who love you, what credit is
that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33“If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is
that to you? For even sinners do the same.
The ENTIRE GOSPEL is aimed at UNBELIEVERS.
The idea a person can't love is SATANIC in origin, not found in the bible, made so elitist feel no sympathy for their enemy "ANIMAL". We see this in Racism, Anti-Jews. to explain when a person in enemy religion does good. "Its just a fluke"
That way when a MUSLIM saves your life, you are taught to still hate him and whatever he did wasn't genuine. Else you might get funny ideas that he is sincerely your friend and what he is taught is NOBLE and GOOD.
Same attitude is used for BLACK PEOPLE, JEWS or any group YOU HATE.
The Pharisees also use this tactic on Jesus, stating Jesus only commands demons because he is a prince of demons.
IT is an OLD EVIL TACTIC.
