Wouldn't that depend on one's definition of love? Paul said, "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha." You believe a person can "love" their neighbor and at the same time hear of the Lord Jesus Christ, reject the Lord Jesus Christ, which is to NOT love the Lord Jesus Christ, and still be saved. Paul says this type of person will be accursed. One cannot say they love God and NOT love the Lord Jesus Christ who is that ONLY true God. Thus, one must define love according to the FULL counsel of the Scriptures. You totally cut the Lord Jesus Christ out of your definition of love.
"You totally cut the Lord Jesus Christ out of your definition of love."
Your definition of love is a joke according to the scriptures. Even now you are just seeking to undermine for the sake of bigotry.
Paul is pretty clear defining love 1 Corinthians 13, it surpasses requirements of ALL FAITH, GNOSTIC understanding.
Anyone who rejects Jesus will is probably on their way to hell.
What entails Rejection of Jesus is defined by Jesus not by you.
Your minimum requirement won't cut it. Its not acknowledgment of his existence or just someone who succumbs to terrorism of going to hell for not faking a belief.
Matthew 7
21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
What is the perfect example Jesus gives as a believer? --> GOOD SAMARITAN
Salvation is not based on a Religious BRAND NAME. Its not about who is BRANDED and MARKED correctly.
John 14
15“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
This means everything to a believer. Salvation is not primary, Reward is not primary and Consequences is not primary, God is primary.
1 John 4
20If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
The capacity to love God only comes after loving your neighbor. If you don't love your brother, You CANNOT LOVE GOD. I underlined this above for you.
Plenty of folks would claim the BACKWARDS and not have the scripture for it.
Matthew 8
5And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,
6and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.”
7Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8But the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9“For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does
it.”
10Now when Jesus heard
this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
11“I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline
at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
12but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that
very moment.
The best compliment of faith goes to active duty Centurion. At this time. Romans are Pagans there are no Jewish Centurions. And they have to follow their Pagan rules to be a Centurion probably even worship of Caesar.
10Now when Jesus heard
this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
11“I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline
at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
12but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Here Jesus talks about many outsider coming in and many insiders getting kicked out. You never see Jesus dish someone for a different religion.
Here comes another pagan on behalf of another pagan her daughter demon possessed. The daughter ain't around.
Matthew 15
21Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and
began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.”
23But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.”
24But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25But she came and
began to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26And He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
27But she said, “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once.
Bigot-Jesus would have never helped those pagans and he would never present a Samaritan as the exemplar of following the commandments of God.
) and 'hate God'. That is an epic fail of God's most basic rules.
