Titus 1:14-16 cunt.
@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior I havent read titus or much of the Pauline epistles but ive recently read the gospels, acts, the johanine literature, and james. I ask you, is whatever quotation you cite more important than "love one another as I have loved you?"
john 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
john 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Yes, other devout poious Christians and people of Good Character. But of course you take it out of context to mean 75 IQ murderous niggers.
@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior the commandment is love as Christ loved. if you think Christ only loved people who werent sinners youre reading a different bible.
Loving someone !== enabling their actions. Christ was not a hippie.
Also he condemned nonbelievers, REPEATEDLY.
Titus 1:15
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and UNBELIEVING is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior @matty jesus ate and forgave criminals and publicans. jesus said that you should love like he loves. you harp on a single insignificant quotation to argue that paul, who is not divine, who was engaging in a manner of polemic, would say that unbelievers are not worthy of your love.
here's a paul quote I just found.
"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." Corinthians 13:13.
do you know what charity meant? it doesnt mean "giving money to the poor". it means "love". the original word is agape, which is the greek word for divine love. if you look at any concordance agape is the same love that God showed for humanity by dying on the cross. paul literally says that the commandment to (divinely) love one another is more important than faith here. https://biblehub.com/greek/26.htm
"Rather, it denotes a holy, selfโgiving disposition that originates in God, is displayed perfectly in Jesus Christ, and is implanted in believers by the Holy Spirit. The frequency of the term in the writings of John and Paul underscores its centrality to apostolic theology and ethics."

Yes, to people that sincerely repent and accept Christ in their hearts. Stop twisting the Lord's words and repent.
@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior @matty if God only loved people who repented or if He only loved Christians He would not be all-loving. God showers grace on the virtuous and the sinners alike, and Jesus advises christians to be like God in that regard.
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;ย That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ย For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?ย Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:44-48
do you know what Jesus says of people who break his commandments given in his sermon? he says "they will be called least in the kingdom of heaven".

> do you know what Jesus says of people who break his commandments given in his sermon?
The sermon on the mount wasn't intended as a set of commandments. It was a long exposition of what complying with the law requires of a person. And thus an explanation of why we could never do so and needed Christ's intervention for our salvation.
> he says "they will be called least in the kingdom of heaven".
I have absolutely no problem with actually being the least in heaven, not just called such, as long as I and my loved ones are there.

@James_Dixon @ChristiJunior @Goalkeeper @matty "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19. being a christian isnt just about believing jesus died for you, its about following what jesus, perfect God and perfect man, said to do.
