Yes very touching video. I can see love in the eyes of John the Baptist (who Jesus referred as “The greatest man to have ever lived”);
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
26-32 (more of the same)
33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?
Anyway, John 13 34 is so taken out of context, the most I’ve seen of the Scriptures, and in the Scriptures context is everything.
If you look at the verses pre and post you will find the context as such;
Jesus in private time with his disciples is telling them to love each other; (e.g. Peter to love John) just as Jesus loved them. Jesus was soon going to the Cross soon and he knew the world would hate them, torture them, and kill them, and the only love they would know would be Christian to Christian.
Nowhere in the Scriptures does it say we are to love a non-believer as we would another Christian. If it does, chapter and verse please?
On the contrary consider 2 Corinthians 6
14 Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? 16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols?
Some would say this is pertaining to marriage but there is no reference to male or female so I would say the context is general. We are to love non-Christians but they are not our buddies. Non-Christians are the ones who crucified our Lord and they would do it again if He were here today. They would crucify us if we were more like Him.
Jesus convicted non-believers to the very root of their soul, to the very root of their sin, with absolutely positively no compromise what so ever, and non-believers hated him for it. If Jesus was all; “Love and Piece Man…”, like many believe, why did they hate Him, why did they kill Him?
Many Christians believe it’s not loving to cause division. Chapter and verse please in the scriptures where Jesus was not causing division?
On the contrary consider Matthew 10 where Jesus says;
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.
I think too many people confuse the truth with being unloving, but nothing is more loving than the truth. On the contrary, to let someone perish in a false system of belief for all eternity because they feel they have to "love", isn’t loving at all.
Again if I’ve misspoke, chapter and verse please where Jesus holds love at higher value than the truth and proclamation of the Gospel?
P.S. It’s ok if Gandhi doesn’t like Christians because he wouldn’t have liked the real Jesus ether.
