What John Paul did was bow before a false god.. no where does Scripture indicate THAT is love..

What is love is bringing the gospel , telling men about Christ.. and telling them to repent and believe the gospel or the wrath of God will fall on them

Would that be popular.?? Nope

Would the world think he was a swell and tolerant guy if he did that ? NO

Real love is not letting people go to hell without being given the gospel ..They hung Jesus you know? A measure of our love is not being loved by them,or popular

Luk 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

The muslim says the same thing about the wrath of God falling on you if you don't follow their beliefs,so if you take that approach you are no different than them.

Showing love(what God is)towards others offers the best chance to change hearts of man.

They may accept that love and BE open to the Gospel or may kill you just like many martyrs that have died for love of God, but they cannot ever destroy the love you exuded because it lives on through the witness of our lives even after death

Until you grasp this you will never understand the strength of love (who God is)
