>>THEY WERE WITNESSES TO US... NOT WITNESSING US<<
The Catholic Church has to twist that to fit their doctrine. When a lawyer takes a deposition from someone and the person dies the testimony of that witness is still permissible in court. We have the testimony of the faith of them all recorded in scripture so it is a witness to us.

Jesus may love us all but I’m pretty sure Jesus is NOT approving of the actions and speech of those of you who carry hatred and bigotry in your hearts.

First of all "Jesus does not "love" us all"

He loves those that are HIS

Rightly dividing the word of God is not "unloving"

Correcting false doctrine is not "unloving"

What is unloving is allowing people to never hear the truth of the gospel ..

"First of all "Jesus does not "love" us all"

Actually, He does. But He is also a God of Justice and will punish unrepentant sin.

Scripture says that He is "unwilling that any should perish" (2Pe 3:9), and John 3:16 says Jhn 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

So he loves everyone at least enough to have gone to the cross for them. He might love some of us more than others. But he sees the potential in each one of us and loves us as individuals regardless of our sin. He "loved us while we were yet sinners"(Rom 5:8).

Nevertheless, if we remain in unrepentant sin. If we never avail ourselves of the pardon made available to us, then He will judge us according to our works. And our evil works will condemn us to the second death.
