Christianity about biblical perfection not love only----Matthew 5:17-20.

If you break the least of my commandments and teach so to man you shall be the least in the kingdom of God.

Self righteous people teach otherwise------Romans 3:1-4.

Shall the unbelief of some make the word of God of none effect. God forbid.

The best example of this being so is with the young rich ruler that boasted in doing the 10 commandments since his youth.

God only wanted him to sell everything he had and give it to the poor to make heaven.

This self righteous person went away sad.

Jesus said it's easier for a camal to go through the eye of a needle then for the rich one to enter in the kingdom of God.

You may recall Matthew 7:21-23 to mind.

People saying they did stuff for the poor while they prophesy and give their body to be burned.

They saying they cast out demons in his name and even spoke in tongues.

Yet Jesus states he never know them.

Why is that ? It's cause their not bible perfection minded.

A good Tom with a loving heart is not enough to be saved-------John 5:39.

A good Tom the blood boaster is not enough to be saved-----Romans 6:1.

A good Tom a 90% bible believer is not enough to be saved----Matthew 5:17-20.

Matthew 4:4 is for 100% bible believers.

John 8:31 is for 100% bible believers.

Matthew 5:17-20 is for 100% bible believers.

John 5:39 is for 100% bible believers.

1 John 1:9 is for 100% bible believers.

Romans 6:1 is for 100% bible believers.

Romans 6:15 is for 100% bible believers.

Matthew 3:2 is for 100% bible believers.

Luke 4:4 is for 100% bible believers.

2 Timothy 3:16 is for 100% bible believers.

People of other religions are very loving but they deny Jesus being the Father too-----John 8:24.

Jesus said : If you don't believe that I am he you shall die in your sins.

I am he is talking about Jesus being the Father too.

Theologians very loving but they add and take away from the bible book---Rev. 22:18-19.

Jesus said: If you add to the book the plagues coming on you and if you take away from the book then your name shall be taken away from the lamb book of life.

While love makes you a disciple of Christ bible perfection does too----John 8:31.

If you continue in my word then shall you be my disciples indeed.

Simple minded people very loving but they mock baptism water to be saved----John 3:5.

Except a man be born of the water and of the spirit he cannot enter in the kingdom of God.

They figure Christianity is not that technical to go to heaven.

Paul calls them the self righteous people----Romans 10:2-3.

Loving people that claim they live out the 2 greatest commandments today and they boast that they don't need more of the wisdom of God on making it in heaven.

Matthew calls them self righteous people----Matthew 5:17-20.

Christianity without bible perfection mentality is only self righteousness----John 5:39.

Search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life.

No heaven for a loving and philosophical person only-----Isaiah 64:6.

All our righteousness are as filthy rags.

The righteousness of God is explained in all the bible not in our philosophies of life---Acts 17:28.

Supernatural knowledge is not natural knowledge to know----John 8:32.

Nothing human in nature to explain baptism water----John 3:5.

Nothing ordinary in nature to explain Christian attire----1 Peter 3:3.

Nothing logical in nature to explain believer segregation----2 Cor. 6:14-17.

Nothing intellectual in nature to explain Christian marriage---Romans 7:2-3.

Nothing philosophical in nature to explain Christians rebuking Christians----James 5:20.

Nothing simple in nature to explain Christian parties----1 Peter 4:1-4.

Nothing in man to explain conditional grace-----Romans 6:1.

Nothing in the righteousness of man to explain women doctrine today---1 Cor. 14:34-35.

Nothing in the wisdom of man to explain the wisdom of God----1 Cor. 1:25.

Nothing in the character of man to explain book publishing rules---Rev. 22:18-19.

Nothing in the good intentions of man to explain the Godhead----John 8:24.

Nothing in the wit of man to explain success in God----Psalms 119:105.

Nothing in the background of man to explain the revelation of God---1 John 2:27.

Nothing in the success of man to explain how to have life in God----Matthew 4:4.

Nothing in the theology of man to explain God's conditional laws----Romans 6:1.

Nothing in the counsel of man to explain God's interpretation of all the bible---2 Peter 1:20-21.

Nothing in the discovery of God without all the bible-----John 14:26.

As always the goal is to unite with 100% bible believers----Psalms 133:1.

Never a goal to educate ignorant minds only---Titus 3:10.

Default Can You Have A Loving Heart And Not Be A Christian ??

No . . . If you "love God and each other" daily and repent when you don't . . . you are in Christ and Christ is in you, period.

1 John 4:7 (King James Version)

7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

1 John 3:23 (King James Version)

23And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

1 John 3:11 (King James Version)

11For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

1 John 4:11-12 (King James Version)

11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:21 (King James Version)

21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

John 13:34 (King James Version)

34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

John 15:12 (King James Version)

12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

John 15:17 (King James Version)

17These things I command you, that ye love one another.

John 15:9-10 (King James Version)

9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Then they are Christians, sheena. That is the defining "fruit" . . . not all that other mumbo jumbo born of vanity and hubris.

Some part of him did . . . but clearly the rest did not. This is the problem . . . thinking that we are all one thing or the other. We are not . . . and only those loving aspects of us will survive our rebirth as Spirit and the refining fire of God's love. I believe the rest of us will suffer according to our "works" in weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Yes unbelievers can have a loving heart.

Being a Christian is about possession of the Son through belief in the gospel.

Can You Have A Loving Heart And Not Be A Christian ??

Ever watch a NFL football game?

Can anyone really claim that every NFL player who has a camera in his face that says "Hi Mom" is a Christian?
