As Christians, we are commanded to "love everyone".
But that doesn't mean we need to LIKE them, right? RIGHT?
- Have you found yourself in the position of having to "love" someone that is unlovable?
- What does it mean to "like" someone?
- Is "like" greater than, or even EQUAL to, love?
--- PARODY ---
Christian #1: "I love you, but I don't like you."
Christian #2: "Say what?"
Christian #1: "The Bible says I have to love you, but it doesn't say I have to like you."
Christian #2: "That doesn't sound like love to me."
Christian #1: "That's your problem."
Christian #2: "It sounds more like YOUR problem"
Christian #1: "My problem?"
Christian #2: "Yes. If you don't like me. how can you say you love me?"
Christian #1: "The Bible doesn't say anything about me liking you."
Christian #2: "That seems like a workaround."
Christian #1: "A workaround?"
Christian #2: "Yes, you are working around loving me when you really don't."
Christian #1: "I see."
Christian #2: "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Christian #1: "I would like that."
Christian #2: "Well, that's a start."
