Where there is no love there is no relationship.
There is no doubt that this is the underlying principle that motivated Jonathan's posting (for example).
However,
none of you speak of meeting the standard set by Jesus which is "If you love me you will do what I say"
You see, Judy, this is exactly "our" complaint. This assertion, on your part, has nothing to do with honest debate and everything to do with judgmentatlism -- you making a judgment about the relationship of others to Christ. It is accusatory in content and demands a waste of time on the part of those who might feel the need the correct this damning opinion. I feel no such compulsion.
John
