Good point ^ above^ because according to Revelation 20:13-14 biblical hell comes to a final end.
After everyone in biblical hell / grave is delivered up, biblical hell 'gives up' its dead, then emptied-out hell is cast vacant to that symbolic ' second death ' for vacated biblical hell/grave.

His blood poured out for the forgiveness of sins. The drink was symbolic of what was taking place in reality.
You misunderstand. Jesus had a way of disguising what He meant so as to keep its meaning hidden from sinners. The same with God the Father.

The new covenant is this.

“As for me says the Lord, this is the covenant I have made with them; my spirit which is upon you and my words which I have put into your mouth shall never leave your mouth nor the mouths of your children nor the mouths of your children’s children from now on and forever.”

“By your words you’ll be justified and by your words you’ll be condemned.”

The flesh and blood of the son of God is the truth, God’s word!!

Jesus says it here; “If you do not eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood you have no life in you for my flesh is true food and my blood is honest drink.”

True food and honest drink is the truth, God’s word.

It seems to me that a basic requirement is having honesty and sincerity with both ourselves and others, and generally those people are nice people, not rude, obnoxious, selfish, etc
You missed the part where Jesus said loving God is doing what He commanded Him to do, which is spread God’s word.

Your simpleminded and myopic focus is beyond moronic. The agape love of God and each other involves far more behaviors and attitudes than the simpleminded parroting of words at people.

Thank you for your agape love.

“Let the man who has my word speak my word and speak the truth.”

In the OP Jesus upholds this;

Joshua 22
5 Take good care to observe the commandment and instruction that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, and to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

that someone can deign to talk to a brother in faith in this way, saying the bold above,
and in the same breath lecture others about loving God and loving each other

is, well, disturbing.

Jesus brought a new covenant-Love. It says law would written on hearts. For example--If one loved their brothers-they wouldnt even consider like stealing from them, lying to them, committing adultery on their mate, etc,etc all the way down the line. But no one is perfect in this system, not all who stand remain like that, some fall.
