And you didn't answer my comment on you not bothering to read the quote I posted.

This is a good teaching moment SS,
You must understand that love that the Lord was talking about has no single
word meaning today. Let me clarify: shoving things up another mans
rectum would not be an act of love making as it is today.
The love Christ was talking to believers about had the action of warning
your neighbor and nothing to do with engaging in selfish perversions.
Now, today of course warning someone of overt sinful behavior to avoid the
wrath of God is an act of hate, that is true. But it wasn't always so.
