Edited to add: I just keep thinking about what you have written here, Choir Loft. Why would you say this? This is making me feel very, very sorrowful for you. Love is the most powerful thing there is for God *IS* Love. Have you not experienced His profound love? What's going on with you? Why would you say this? I really cannot stop thinking about you, now.
Choir Loft is confusing God's love with human love and lust - a common misperception probably linked to the Hippie free love movement. This is the main reason that there is no love in much of the mainstream Christianity. It is also why they are in serious jeopardy despite their avowed faith in Christ. They do things and hold attitudes that are NOT agape loving and that is a major flaw in their proclaimed love for God and Jesus. "What you do to these the least of my creatures . . ."

I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

You reject the scriptures that you say are the Word of God.

So you are not a Christian according to your own idol, the Bible?

Quote:
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
I John 4:7-8
Quote:
God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
I John 4:16a


The most life changing event is the complete unconditional love of your fellow man including your enemies, the same love that the Father has for his creations, for they are extensions of Himself. The only way to experience God, is to experience that same feeling, of loving unconditionally.

I'm afraid that you are not hollering from the choir loft, but screaming from the depths of that hell fundamentalists like to spend a lot of time condemning others to.

When you're in love (with Jesus or anybody else) everybody knows!
