Jesus told us that He was giving us a "New Commandment," to love one another...,and that love fulfilled the Law. What would you call it if those people operated without love?

Jesus disagrees.
1 Corinthians 13:13
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Until you answer that question, don't expect any more replys from me.
Can you quote the post where you asked me this question and then can you answer all the questions that are beginning to back up which you haven't answered. You're giving your true identity away with some of the stuff you are posting on this thread

I told Omega (who i think is Vizio because they both say the exact same things to me(and me only), that i would answer his question if he posted where he actually asked me the question about lawlessness that he claimed i never answered, i am sure i will be waiting forever

Here is what i had pasted ready to post to him.

If we are not abiding in love we are are practicing lawlessness, is that so hard to comprehend?

The answer to the question (why the men were not allowed in) is repeated over and over and over in the Bible.

The New Testament repeats some 200 times we are saved through faith.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"

"When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit"

"Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire"

"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"

"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death"

"They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might"

Finn Jarber there is no one worse than you for misrepresent on others. Tell me who are the people doing miracles, casting out demons and prophesying that Jesus said practiced lawlessness.
