You have muddied my words far beyond recognition. No we are not clear, at least not with each other. You have judged me wrongly again and again. There is no love and no compassion in your words, only hatred and condemnation.

Then I apologize for misrepresenting you, because all I hear in your words are hatred and condemnation. To my knowledge, I have literally repeated back to you what you wrote, what I hear you not only saying, but insisting upon.

To me, you were very clear and consistant. I disagree with it, but I did not feel confused over what you were saying, since you kept repeating it.

But perhaps you can clear something up that will help me. Where, in your understanding, does "love" come into play? What is the love Jesus was talking about? Because I know what I think it means, and I can't see it anywhere in what you are claiming to be His true teachings. So where is it?

You equate love with sentiment. Love is the highest discipline, the source of Godliness and the most intense of works. The price of love is absolute sacrifice, surrendering oneself with no attempt to find oneself worthy of any good. Only God is love just as only God is good. There is no love and no goodness outside Him. If you wish to have the love of God you must surrender every aspect of your life to Him. I get none of that from your understanding of love.
