David, I will consider this as agreement. I believe it is the resurrection that gave the gospel its power...you believe it was people seeing the risen Jesuswhom they never would have seen had he NOT been resurrected. I consider these ALL part of a larger picture called the resurrection.

The love being expressed is not toward the one being damned, but toward the rest of society. It is impossible to have a utopian community of love if there is even one single wicked person living freely in it. Just look at the world and what a mess it is in. Peace be with you.David Miller.
