			He also chased money changers from the temple and reviled hypocrites. So it's more than the one note.
		
		
	 
Yes, but did he expressly tell his disciples to behave in such a manner as well? He apparently chose to act in such a fashion, if its a true account, and yes...did expose hypocrisy where it was evident. I agree there is more than one note in a symphony, and all parts of the orchestra are to be considered in the entire score 
Still,....Jesus said others would recognize us by the love we show to one another, AND he told us to love our enemies, and not just those who love us back. On this score....the manifestation of 'Christ-love' excels beyond all human concepts of love or just compensations for greivances, teaching the higher way. - that is unless you want to go back to the ole 'eye for an eye' routine, which keeps the karmic wheels spinning.......
	
	
		
		
			Love discerns, judges and protects too, else I'd let my two year old play with the wolf that comes out from the forest's edge because he called it doggy and it seemed to smile.
		
		
	 
My former commentary on Love stands,...it is the universal Law, and anything short of it is 'sin' to one degree or another. Your example above is 'relative' to human viewpoints and conditioning. I was sharing the principle in the greater cosmic context and ultimacy concerning human relationships.
 Of course love discerns by its own innate wisdom and intelligence, but it maintains its divine nature always, unless its modified or conditioned by human thoughts and patterns. Bringing things down to the petty little cat-fights and neg-repping going on here, is to drop a few levels below the golden rule you know. As a fellow wordsmith, I couldn't resist having a little fun here with this, and hope not to take it beyond the 'veil' so to speak :crackup: - again, we come back to the fundamental law...which is Love itself. Thru Love's eyes, the true condition and potential of every soul is clearly known, hence Love's action and will is true to itself, no matter how 'heinous' or 'sinful' the sinners appear to be. Love outshines all. If one objects, its because of their own human viewpoints and conditioning, plus a lot of 'underscores' to get back at the bad guys, and play 'God' as it were. Back on the karmic wheel of 'tit' for 'tat'. Turning the cheek to be slapped again by aggressors is a hard thing to do,...but in some cases....killing them with kindness is the way to go
