Right. Now answer the question. I know what Paul said and you reject it.
Do you meet the standard of love that you set?
Paul described perfectly a life turning to Jesus.
I've been arguing that we need to demonstrate love, that is what the whole thread is about. ????
I don't consider myself to be perfect, but I press on, forgetting what is behind. I know full well when I hated, with His help I've let that go. My conscience is clear at the moment, but He is the judge not me. I love you Nick.Right. Now answer the question. I know what Paul said and you reject it.

Morality is not salvation. Provide me with evidence that you have moved from death to eternal life. That means you cannot lose it. That is the meaning of eternal, it is without end.
I'll provide the recipe to obtain eternal life.
"But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and it's end eternal life." Romans 6:22

Does anyone seriously think if you believe in Jesus your actions no longer have any eternal consequences? You can sin as much as your heart desires?
It has nothing to do with love... it has to do with duty.

The standard is God's law | |
Those were spoken by Paul for a specific reason.
I believe Jesus over Paul... any day of the week when it comes how to get eternal life. Your hangup with sanctification is purely a Roman Catholic diversion.
1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

So you are prepared to go to hell without escape? The "Old Testament" has obvious foreshadowing. How many spots and blemishes are the bulls allowed to have? Or any sacrifice for that matter.
The standard is love according to you, and you fail by your own admission. You probably think you are good person. Even Kirk Cameron is smarter than you on this one.
The standard is God's law
this is not for me
Jesus set the standard.
"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:35
this is not for me
What isn't? His love?
Yes, actually it's all in Romans 6, which will be a focal point of an upcoming threadI'll provide the recipe to obtain eternal life.
