First you must explain this:
You have a tag line: Let you love be without hypocracy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.
But it continues:
9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[3] Do not be conceited.
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[4] says the Lord. 20On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."[5] 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
You seem to ignore the other part.
So my question is:
Which parts to I pay attention to, and which parts do I ignore?
When you see things, such as "Do not be proud" and it is pointed out in your brethren, you disregard it.
Which parts of the Bible shall I disregard?
When you see "Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse", you ignore that, and any brethren that does it.
When I quote the bible, a few have mocked me for using the bible itself. They refuse to listen to what it says, saying that it a nonbeliever who says it. But it is still the word of God, yet they ignore it.
So if you could simplify the verses ones should disregard and ignore, and the ones I should pay attention to, or give a list of sheep verses and goat verses, then I can answer your question truthfully.
