So Shain,
You may as well rip out the Beatitudes out of your new testament and the thousands of verses that talk about love. You are not the final authority in this matter, the scriptures are,and when the beatitudes say we are light, we are salt etc, I believe it. The new testament bears witness to these things in many places. Show me why the great commission is for us (which it is) and why the beatitudes are not??? You cant. Both apply.
