NO ONE is fighting against the idea of that real concern at all, we are fighting against being told to drink the Kool-aide the particularly community you have in mind, is serving. Peace
What do you think Jesus meant when He said ALL the law is encompassed in the two commands to love God and each other??

The love only theology limits God's teaching to simply being nice to people but Jesus did not teach that theology. It shows in His parables that one must use what God has given or what is given is taken away.
Jesus taught that God's word is what man must live by and that it is the word that cleanses.
He taught to remain in His word and that His followers were to use it and follow Him.
The love only theology puts all the commandments into one but Jesus never said there was only one. He said to keep God's word.
He said that one must love God above all else. He loved God by doing what God commanded Him. In turn if His followers are sent as He was sent them they too must do the same.
Jesus was more about spreading God's word than being "nice". In fact He was down right mean on occasion.
Is it nice to be evasive on what the meaning of His teaching was but He was very evasive for a reason. The disciples didn't even understand. He had to explain some of the parables to them. Even to This day people are arguing about what He wants. Not that loving.
To say that God only wants us to be nice to others misrepresents most of the word of God.
Anyone care to back me up?
BUZZZZZERRRRR
Wrong from the first sentence. LOL. Nobody says that.

Or are you a new incarnation of TwinSpin that actually says stuff instead of just quoting?
Wow ... I get complemented by pcamps in a different OP

I don't know if I can take much more of this love
I know, right? Their "love" is like being arse deep in alligators; you don't know which one is going to try to take a chunk out of you next, but it's pretty much a given one of them will. Peace
