“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:34-35 (KJV)
A lot of self professing Christians assume that since The Lord Jesus gave a new commandment to love one another as HE loves you that that is the only commandment we are to follow and disregard the other ten, as well as the entire Bible as a whole. That is like getting a new outfit and disregarding the rest of your clothes in your closet just to wear the new outfit.
A prime example is that much of our "inspirational and encouraging" music nowadays is filled with greatly positive attributes about love and peace, but completely lacks any relevance to salvation or actually living for God ...
Satan hates the anointing God places on worship music so he has worked to corrupt our song and praise service into something to entertain our emotional states rather than our spiritual minds.
In addition, countless carols have been written for the demonic pagan holiday we have called "Christmas" Christmas means the "Dismissal or denial of Christ!" ... This all began with yet another total misinterpretation of the Bible where in *Luke 2:13-14* it reads: "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
The bible states that the angels "said, spoke, perhaps shouted out" in their praise. They did not sing ...
Our praise singing has become more as a concert show with lights, expensive sound equipment and so much stress in rehearsing for a perfect performance rather than a focus on singing for God.
So yes we are learning to love, but we are also learning to accept and tolerate much which has been indoctrinated into our Christianity and our hearts have been seduced by the beauty of an evil influence causing us to ignore a large amount of Gods Word and walking proudly against His commands ...
