I don't know that that makes a whole lot of sense, sorry. The Apostles were murdered because they loved?
No, they were hated and murdered, even though they had Biblical love.
They were murdered because they called Jesus Lord. There is little chance that you will be murdered, either for being loved, or for calling Jesus Lord. It certainly won't kill you to show love to those here. You many indeed by a loving individual...but the only way others will know is if you show it. Indeed it can be a loving action to show others truth. But I think the point that everyone is trying to make here, is that while giving the truth in short, abrupt sentences, no one seems to be able to sense compassion and kindness behind those short answers.
Perhaps you should consider some of the many statements by Jesus and the Apostles before you accuse me of not showing love. I.E.
Galatians 1:8-9 (NKJV)
8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you,
let him be accursed.
9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received,
let him be accursed.
Was Paul unloving? He wrote nearly half of the NT.
You can dismiss what I'm saying, what everyone else is say...and I truly don't discuss it with you in hopes of bringing you down...I'm just trying to ease conversation between everyone...but turn to your Bible. It has all the answers there Duck. Search for what "biblical love" is. We see that it's kindness, compassion, a sacrificial love just as Jesus showed to us. A giving of ourselves for the good and glory of God and the well-being and preaching of the gospel to others. Forgiveness. The NT is rife with commands and actions of love.
Did Jesus hate these?:
Matthew 23:13-15 (NKJV)
13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
Your doctrine is not bad Ducky, but no one will listen to you unless you can show a little humility. I pray that you will show this to others, because as you say, the truth needs to be heard.
John 15:18-21 (NKJV)
18 "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
2 Timothy 3:12 (NKJV)
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
