| Jester, you are a bit too simplistic. Love of money, for instance, is something that could easily be sin. Loving some to the detriment of others is sin (viz racism). Loving oneself overmuch is one of the fastest routes to sin. Loving food too much is gluttony. Loving peace (personal, not interpersonal...before I have to hear about being a warmonger) too much can lead to complacency. Loves can most easily lead to sin.
It is not enough merely to love. Love is important, though. It is vital to love that which is good. (Note I don't mean good people because no one is good save God alone...loving others is vital, but is a function of mercy). At any rate, sin is far more complex than "all you need is love". Anyone could have figured that out. It would not have necessitated a Savior.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
