What did Jesus mean when he said      "Love one another"   ?
924158
It means that His disciples ought to love one another for the reason that others who are non-believers may see it and believed, otherwise may not believe but will appreciate the faith. It is not as simple love, love is not the love as we have seen it from the world, but the love that a brother will die for the sake of another, as Christ successfully demonstrated on the cross.  Joh 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

"He who has ears, let him hear."\n\nOnce, I asked Jesus to come and live in me, like he said him and his father would if asked.\n\nYears later, I was at a tough place in my life. \n\nI was alone and I was scared and frustrated and angry.\n\nI cried out "God, you said you would come and live in me, so where are you?! I cant see you, I can't hear you, talk to me please, show me your self, why won't you communicate with me?!!"\n\nThen i heard it...clearly in my mind.\n\n"I am with you right now, I have always been with you. I haven't left you. Its going to be ok..." and He was speaking with my own voice!\n\nInstantly I realized that He was always with me, BUT my recognition of Him, my ability to hear Him was clouded and blocked off because I was still under the impression that I was seperate from Him.  \n\nBut of course, God's gift of Jesus and each person's own sincere acceptence on faith is/was the seed that fianally grew into a real relationship.\n\nFinally it was as clear as day. His voice was my own voice in my head. He had come to live in me and was always speaking with me. The scriptures "I and my father are one" and "nothing can seperate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus" came to be an understandable reality for me.\n\nHearing is about wanting to hear and then listening. \n\n"Faith is the assurence of things hoped for and the substance of things unseen."\n\nNow, I hear and see God in more and more interesting and new ways. The whole thing really panned out and i gotta say- it was all worth believing in.

Are you speaking of Jesus Christ? I don't remember anywhere in the New Testament where He made a statement that was similar to that one... where did you see that?

no, Jesus said "the poor you will always have with you".\n\nIt would appear that Jesus the most generous loving person on earth was rather pragmatic too.\n\n***\nof course there will be a "new heaven and a new earth", - there everything will be restored to righteousness.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.\n\n2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.\n\n3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.\n\n4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,\n\n5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;\n\n6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;\n\n7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.\n\n8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.\n\n9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;\n\n10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.\n\n11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.\n\n12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.\n\n13 But now faith, hope, and love remain-these three. The greatest of these is love.\n\n\nThat is love. xxxxxx

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This si the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself"

Jesus Christ said: “You heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you.”—Matthew 5:43, 44.\n\nIt was the oral tradition of the Jews that held that ‘hating an enemy’ was the right thing to do. Jesus, however, said we must love our enemy, not just our friend. This is difficult but not impossible. Loving an enemy does not mean liking all his ways or his deeds. The Greek word found in Matthew’s account is derived from a·ga′pe, which describes a love that acts in harmony with principle. The person who manifests a·ga′pe, principled love, does good even to an enemy who hates and mistreats him. Why? Because it is the way to imitate Christ, and it is the way to conquer hatred. One Greek scholar noted: “[A·ga′pe] enables us to conquer our natural tendency to anger and to bitterness.” \n\nThe Christian, by contrast, is under obligation to love his enemies, that is, those who make themselves personal enemies. Such love (Gr., a·ga′pe) is not sentimentality, based on mere personal attachment, as is usually thought of, but is a moral or social love based on deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty, and propriety, sincerely seeking the other’s good according to what is right. A·ga′pe (love) transcends personal enmities, never allowing these to cause one to abandon right principles and to retaliate in kind. As to those who oppose his Christian course and persecute him, doing so in ignorance, the servant of God will even pray for such that their eyes might be opened to see the truth concerning God and His purposes.—Mt 5:44.

Luke 6:27-36\n\n"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.\n\n"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

the actual phrase is "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". this passage come when Jesus was protecting a woman who was about to be stoned to death for prostitution. furthermore people who claim to be Christians and attack other people (verbal or physically) are not true Christians. the word christian means "christ like" now being christ he would not do such a thing........hope that answers your question

What would Jesus say?

The following text is what it's all about for a Chrisitan.\n\n1 John 4\n7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. \n\n13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. \n        God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. \n\n19We love because he first loved us. 20If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.\n\nI have personally seen God work in my life, I have allowed him to lead me since I graduated college, and have ended up where I never would have believed.  He has answered my prayers in the past, he has given me guidance, I have seen him work through friends and family.  He has even graciously given me dreams in which angels have appeared to reaffirm my faith.  I love God, for I know him and know his love for me.\n\nRomans 1:20\nFor since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."  Hebrews 10:23-25 \n\n"Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."  Matthew 18:19-20 \n\n"And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all."  Acts 4:31-33

It says just the oposite.\n\n                           Matthew 28:19-20\n19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: \n\n 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
