I'll tell you what is NOT one of his commandments: to go around trying to destroy people's faith or convince them that they are lost, which a fair number of people do around here. I think that breaks many commandments. That's all - I'm tired of listening to self-righteous commentary every time a person starts any thread. It's cold and old. I have no fellowship with such ones - no communion in the Spirit with them, period.
Hah. I see someone who says they are a Christian says they don't agree with the 1 Cor 13 description of love. Really? I thought agreement with that was a given among Christians. I guess Christians really can't agree on anything.
I'd seriously be interested in knowing what a Christian disagrees with in that description.

The count appears to be up to 3. I'm not surprised.

I don't fault Christians for not always agreeing with everything in the bible, I'm just wondering what about the 1 Cor 13 passage they disagree with? I would never have guessed that to be a controversial passage in anyone's mind. Perhaps one of them will speak up?
Agape love creates uncounted and uncountable commandments too numerous to enumerate. If you are truly trying to operate your life in agape love . . . you will have numerous restrictions on you.
And Jesus and Scripture give specific ones that are evidence of true agape love, not just a claim.

You've been told and prefer to be in the deceptive lure from Satan who once said "did God really say..." with his modern version of: Jesus loves you this I know ... and that's all folks.
The passage in and of itself is not controversial it's your manipulation of it to exclude what other scriptures say God will do to the unbeliever \ evildoer makes it controversial. Which by that wanton manipulation is to misrepresent the truth concerning God .... and you know that to be the case full well.

Deja vu, Twin. We covered this in this thread already. I'll simply copy what I said to you earlier:
I know you feel the statement "God is love" is qualified, or limited, by other things in the bible. But that doesn't mean you don't agree with the statement, nor with 1 Cor 13. Someone started a thread asking what Christians can agree on. I certainly thought the 2 things in this poll were a no-brainer for agreement, regardless of whatever conditions you or anyone else feels are put on them.
