Love your neighbor. It isn't conditional on what your neighbor believes or doesn't believe
Jesus said that the most important commandments is to love God with all your heart, mind, soul & strength and love your neighbor as your self. Bear ye one anothers burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Jesus did not say "love thy neighbour only if he believes in Jesus or the Bible". He said love thy neighbour and when someone asked him "who is my neighbour?" thinking he could find an excuse to not love someone because he ould say that person was not his neighbour, Jesus told the parable of the good Samaritan in reply. The Samaritans were a people dispised by the Jews to whom Jesus was talking. Jesus also said "love your enemies".

How could a believer in Jesus ever expect anyone to be attracted to his or her religion if all that comes out of the mouth is hell and damnation for all who don't accept immediately the dogma or catma that is spewing out of the mouth of the angry so called believer in Jesus? Jesus encouraged us all to love one another so that upon His return we could accept Him as one people. We had our chance and we blew it. Now it is time for the trumpet blast and all those who think themselves saved who condone the practice of or practice evil in secret and in the open are doomed to spend eternity in the nethermost regions away from the Glorious Creator. What will the trumpet sound like to you? It will sound like something you have ignored your whole life so at first you won't hear it and then it will be too late.

"We pity the fool, call him a fool and tell him we love him in spite of his foolishness". At least that is what I would choose based on the options provided. We are as Christians, instructed to spread the Gospel and proclaim our faith to the world. We must love the people in the world; this does not mean we accept their ways if their ways are the way of sin. Love the sinner not the sin.

Your neighbor is anyone you come in contact with; if they have need that you can meet but they don't believe like you do then you still help them if you can. You put their need before your own if it's needed.

you obey what the bible says .It says love your neighbor as yourself,that means to treat your neighbor well like you want to be treated...I don,t see anywhere in the Bible thats says only do this if they believe in me?It does not matter what they believe, all you need to be concerned about is that you do what the Bible says...

I will go even further....Matthew 5:44-46 "You have heard the law says love your neighbour and hate your enemy, but I say love your enemy, pray for those who persecute you. In that way you will be acting as true children of you Father in Heaven."

Jesus also says "Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you." I don't think you can get out of loving your neighbor, even if they're an "enemy".

You love all people, even your enemies, but that does not mean that a Christian should have to take guff off someone. Humility means to be teachable, not to be used as a door mat

what does that mean? they are still your neighbor. also Jesus said the world was your neighbor, so who ever your neighbor is your are to treat them as yourself.
