when he's talking about unconditional love, he's not talking about blindly following a leader. the two topics have nothing to do with each other. it's not even the same topic.
​
unconditional love refers to how one treats another person not what you do with your weekends.

what part of "love your enemy" and "love your neighbor" does not include platonic love? you know. unless you think we should be having free sex (i really doubt it.)

i don't, really, either. but i doubt he feels the same way. however, i don't see jesus commanding us to boink osama.

Would a god that shows unconditional love for his children cast the ones he doesn't like down to the eternal pit of hell? That's not unconditional love.
​
i'm not convinced that discussion of the modern idea of hell were contemporary to jesus.
​
and no, it isn't. see? biblical inconsistencies are just reserved for questions of dates.

following jesus is not a prerequisite for practicing unconditional love.
