RE>>BV, you are so caught up in being right and making everyone else wrong you fail <<

I am trying to convince others to be right with God ( and me )

You failed to understand what love is.

God does not allow idolatry or for men to create gods in their own image. Your right... That is not love to accept such things. If you accept a man in error as equally valid to those who hold truth you diminish truth.

Your right about black and white.. Something is either right or wrong. Love or hate. You try to put love with sin and say that I am not love because I will not love what is wrong. I can not nor does God... God hates evil and love righteousness ! God hates those who insist in being wrong and demand that they be accepted or demand their rights to worship idols and call the Bible ancient myth.. The Holy Bible is God's record of Truth and Truth never changes..

I do not know this kind of love you seem to think both I and God should have toward your sin but the Love of God is based on Law...

How else can God both Love and Hate His enemies ???

God hates his enemies from the heart because they are wicked and stubborn in their self will However according to Law God deals in Love toward all. If Christ had not died at the cross then God would not in righteousness be able to suffer you even for a moment in your present state. In that sense Christ died for the sins of the whole world. You are called to repent in order to experience the full and effectual extent of that sacrifice however and to have the sacrifice of Christ be FULLY applied in a saving manner concerning eternal life.

There is no TRUE love apart from RIGHTEOUS LIVING.... To live in rebellion against your maker is hard on those around you. You may "feel" well and "wish" well toward all men but true love is to LIVE and Deal in righteousness toward others and God...
The love your calling for is the kind you can get in any cheap Hollywood movie.

The kind of "Love" you are calling me to is SIN and in a very real way hate. !

===== To accept your idolatry is to hate you ! =====

Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezekiel 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

I love you enough to tell you the truth - Your blood is not on my conscience !
