People forgot in their love is love version of Jesus that he specifically said Love to the father was paramount. He told people that if their families kept them from God to leave them.
Yes God wants you to love everyone, but correction is a part of love. If you saw your brother sinning you'd stop him, correct? So stop anyone from sinning because they are your sibling.
This idea that Jesus would accept sin because he was a hippie is laughable. He didn't tolerate sin he insisted you leave it behind to be with him. Jesus would never tell someone God put them in the wrong body, that God fucked up. Satan would do that, but not Jesus.
Faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love. The problem is "love' is a pretty shite word, and a piss poor translation of caritas. Caritas is the love that teaches difficult children, the love that leads to an intervention, and the love that begs wayward brethren to return. It has nothing to do romance. In fact older Anglo Christians never said "faith, hope, and love, " they said "faith, hope, and charity." In the modern era I presume this linguistic shift was intentional.
The verse you're talking about is 1 Corinthians 13:13, and the word there is not "caritas", it's "agape".

Good point. I've imposed the traditional virtues over scripture; a bad mistake. I think my point may still stand: "love" is still not a great word to stack against agape.
