If that's not "love thy enemy" said with other words I'm not sure I'd ever be able to convince you love might just be human

My statements seem to be ignored as you are attributing false dichotomies
I never said love didn’t exist outside Christ, I said it was a foundational rule of the Christian faith
Never said Christians were in fact Christian or good at their faith
Said Jesus taught love over law, not something we can see in other faiths
Yours is like a feminine argument, based on feeling and nothing I have said. You are creating a narrative to justify your verbose reply
And your pacifism, well done you, living peacefully in a western society, a society based on a Christian worldview, well probably up till the early 2000s.
Be grateful to past sacrifice so you can live in peace, not arrogant you do live in peace
Personally prefer the Russian Orthodox Church over the (US) western Evangelical (tv) faith where the love of money is god and self is worshipped
it would be beneficial if you spent minutes reading my replies and answering them as opposed to manufacturing an argument I havnt constructed
