^^^ I will love for you to flesh out this post properly. I believe that you are a member of Oyakhilome's CEC and accordingly I am interested in your view of two statements that would seem to contradict and undermine the spirit of your post.

First let us start with what Jesus said and then compare it with what Oyakhilome and his resident nairaland pastor/representative (aka Joagbaje) has said.

Jesus said:   

John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

John 15:12
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

But

1.  Joagbaje says that this is not a commandment for "Christians" and that there is no commandment for "Christians" to be keeping.
2. Oyakhilome, Joagbaje's boss, says nowhere in the New Testament are "we" told to obey God.

So, how do we square the statements of Oyakhilome and Joagbaje with this your idea of love as the greatest revelation?
