Did not the Lord say "Love one another as I have loved you"?

Jesus came to die for the world so that the world through Him might be saved.\nWe have a handbook to go by. It's called a Holy bible. These are the words of God. Everyone can participate. Even the ones that can't read. We do love everyone. However we are instructed to not be conformed to the world. We are not to love the sin of the world. We are to love the sinners, hate the sin, and let God do the judging.

I agree with you.  If a man with a forgiven heart calls God "Father," can't I call that same man, "Brother?"  After all, if we're forgiven don't we all have the same heavenly Father?

According to a web search it is thought to have been said by Jesus, but isn't in the Bible -- Mormons seem to like it though.  Is it in the Book of Mormon?

According to the Word of God, we love Him because he first loved us. I would hope that is your motive.

"Granny, I love you and I respect you.  But I have made a choice for my faith and life, and I need you to respect that.  Show me that you love me by respecting this choice."\n\nNow, if there is something WRONG with the non-denominational church you have selected, then that is an entirely different question.  However, if your church is teaching the Bible as God's word, and if you cannot see anything in their statement of faith that is wrong, then stand your ground, affirming your Granny of your love for her.

Do you remember that Jesus brought a new covenant, to love each other as I have loved you?  Answers are where you choose to find them.

This is a tough one.  Your original question reminds me of Matthew 10:37-39.  I had trouble with that passage as a child.  I couldn't imagine loving anyone more than I loved my parents.  And frankly, I knew it wouldn't be okay with them, which was threatening.\n\nWhat I've learned is that what we sometimes call love isn't very loving.  Sometimes we condition it such that it is merely a means of control or selfishness.\n\nI believe God calls us to love Him most, because if we love on His terms, we love everyone else better.  When we learn to define love as patience, kindness, truthfulness, hopefulness; having endurance and belief; able to bear all things; lacking envy, pride, rudeness, self-gratification, evil thoughts; not easily angered, not gloating over the failures of another, and neverending - when we define love as serving others instead of demanding that they please us, we love them to their highest good.\n\nMy husband and I both come from dysfunctional homes.  Abusive homes.  What we learned about love in our families, we knew we didn't want to pass on to the children we hoped we'd have or to incorporate into our relationship.  We promised to help each other love God most - even more than we loved each other.\n\nAnd that's hard sometimes.  But loving God most, helps us keep our family patterns out of our relationship.  It helps us love each other in ways that would not naturally flow from what we learned in our upbringing.

The Bible does say to "marry only in the Lord," but hardly any religions claiming to be Christian follow that command :(

We as Christains are not bound by the old testament anymore thats why Jesus came to set us free from those laws..Jesus says to love one another as He has loved us..Very plain..To know Jesus we will want to walk more like Him everyday and not do things to cause us to be seprated..

I don't think he used it much to describe himself or his feelings, but I could be wrong.  Second hand accounts of what he said can be found in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John if you would like to go through them to count.  God Bless You and Love You

Nothing given in the game of love is without effort. All things that bloom when love is present is due to the work of both parties. God may have blessed the union but it's up to the people to make good of that blessing.\n\nYou assume that God will make everything a OK without effort. That's quite a naive way to think.

First : When Jesus comes back, I don't think he'll say "I'm Muslim" you know why?? because he's not Muslim, He's Jew, remember when he got crucified the roman soldiers put a piece of wood that said "King of the Jews". Two: if you are talking about if he will discriminate us because we aren't Jews or Muslims, I don't think he'll do that because He died for all of us not just the Jews or Muslims, Third: Jesus made a new commandment if you see John 13:34 says "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." It doesn't say "Love everyone that it's Muslim or Jew.". So, He Loves us, The Jews, The Muslim or any religion he loves us and even the people that doesn't believe in him, he loves them too.

But when they continued asking him, he (Jesus) straightened up and said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8:7)\n\nWith love in Christ.

Interesting, but my translation says "God takes his stand in his own congregation".  (New American Standard).  We would need to discuss it with an expert in ancient hebrew to form an informed opinion, so take it easy.

Absolutely yes.  Romans 14:11, For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord(Jesus), every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. \nI Corinthians 13:8a, Love never fails.
