Holy Week

Jesus said LOVE your nieghbor, not reconcile with your nieghbor.
Jesus Christ was not a compromiser.

I agree Jesus did not compromise - I don't believe loving (agape) your neighbor means compromising one's beliefs - IMO it means loving them sacraficially esspecially when they are in need.

You are correct about the brother thing. I was rushing when typing this morning. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

I think you are getting love and reconciled confused. They do not mean the same thing.

I think you are getting reconcile and compromise confused. They do not mean the same thing.

Yet I think there may be an interesting point here. To what extent did God compromise with us in the Atonement?

You cannot reconcile wtih the Muslims and everyone get together and just praise the Lord together because we all believe in the same God. You can love the Muslims, pray for the Muslims, but be not reconciled with them. Jesus was not teaching this in his commandment. We love our nieghbors, give them the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ so that they may be reconciled with the Lord.
The world is beginning to teach that we can all be one happy family reconciled together without all believing in the same God. This is not truth, and this is not what God wanted. We are to reconcile with HIM, then worship together.

Perhaps we can reconcile with the Muslims to the same degree and in somewhat the same way that Christ reconciled with us?
