FWIW, please swallow your pride and consider being a follower known by love.

Love doesn't mean wimpy, squishy, never offend anyone behavior.

Jesus was love personified and He took a tough stand on a lot of issues, moral issues, at that.

It is NOT love to let people go on a self-destructive path to hell, giving them everything they want and not telling them what they don't want to hear, just to not hurt their feelings.

You need to read the Gospels more and find out what real love is all about.

Just like those who accuse Christians of not being Christlike in an effort to manipulate their behavior, accusing someone of not being loving when they tell the truth and stand up for the truth, is another manipulation technique and we're not buying it.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

So true! If one doesn’t understand the WRATH of God and how much He HATES sin, then one will NEVER understand the love of God and what He did for us.

It is so much more than our finite minds can handle.
