Well, now. Jesus said the same thing. "This is my command: Love each other" John 15:17
"You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul mind and strength, This is the most important Commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself"
"But I say, love your enemies"
And the list goes on. Even common sense says to love everyone. The world would be a fabulously better place!!
Wahoo to you!
Lets share the love people!!!!
Amen!
Thanks!

If there is a far flung future where this may happen, it would likely be a side affect of people turning their backs on religion, because the end of days had not taken place. If Armageddon has take place, in the near future, then it won't matter, as there will no linger be any religions, or need for religions, on Earth, as only those left living and those resurrected will be of the same belief. Our only concern than will be tearing down all the monuments and last vestiges of the old system and rebuilding the earth back into a paradise, than going out to do the same on other planets.

Jesus Christ gave us a new comandment, "To Love One Another". Love those who spitefully use you, Love as I have loved you, Forgive as you are forgiven. These are all key scriptures to the Doctrine of Jesus Christ. As a Christian we are to tr to follow this , but it is our Human Nature, that divides us and causes us to place Judgement and feel Anger and Envy, Strife, Hate. Jesus also told us this;"There is not one of you perfect and without sin, No Not One". He was saying that we are all born of the Flesh, we all have sin in our lives, we think as this world has taught us to think; This is the very reason He gave his life for us, Jesus is the way, the truth and the Life, No man comes unto the Father but by Him. This is the Only thing that seperates us from the rest of the world, and is the only way we will ever Know the Love and Peace and Joy that is of God. Jesus Christ is the Blood Sacrifice that gives us all redemption and reconciles us with God.
I believe that If we will follow the doctrine of Jesus Christ, we will be perfected in Christ as Christ is in us. As for Muslim or Buddihsts, or Jews, or any other culture or religion; They all have seen the Holy Scriptures, some have seen this in their land prior to the Lord Jesus Christ Birth; they as well had Jesus Christ walking in their midst, they saw the Miracles, they heard his teaching, some ate and drank with him, some received their Healing, but as it was prophesied, they rejected Him, they Knew the Scriptures given to the prophets;
They taught from these very scriptures; but they would not receive him, they did not recognise him though he stood among them. So, yes there is both a common and then a very uncommon link between all nations. There is Light, and their is Darkness; A beginning and an End. It boils down to this;"What side of the prophesies do you stand on?" There is not a middle ground all will chose. Keep in mind this "Every Knee will Bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, Son of the Living God".

I think this viewpoint is common among Westerners to have regardless of their religious affiliation. This isn't the way every society and culture in the world works, however. It only takes on side to destroy peace. I think it is less about religion as we know it in the West and more about the role of religion within other cultures. Religion in the U.S., for example, is generally a personal and private matter providing a moral reference point from which we make other decisions. Elsewhere, it is actually the governing force where violation of religious laws is punishable as a crime. Think about how intolerant some places in the world are. Tolerance simply isn't a value everywhere like it is in the West.

What you ask already is. All who love God already love their fellow men. It is not the people of faith who hate. It is those who hate God and lie about people of faith.
Again and again I see people in Yahoo Answers suggesting that people of faith hate others. This simply isn't so. But I suspect people who reject God project their own motivations onto people of faith and never grasp that we're trying to work to a higher purpose, beyond our personal gratification. We already recognize we aren't perfect and don't possess all knowledge; this makes it easier for us to empathise with others.
I have been in the church all of my adult life and have NEVER seen the hatred others suggest, never. I have seen frustration, and broken hearts for those who will not give up their hate, their bigotry, their fear. I've seen Christians of all denominations cry for friends and relatives who are destroyed by alcohol, drugs, homosexuality, or whatever.
Christians are taught to hate sin, but not the sinner, We cannot hate sinners, because all Christians recognize every man and woman on the planet is a sinner. Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven.
As for religion starting wars - that's bunk! Name one war fought in the name of religion that had no political objective. (I didn't think so.) Religion has been used to motivate in support of some political objective, but has never been the prime cause. That is just another lie told by those who wish to steer mankind away from the love and peace God offers us.
All the world cries out for peace, but peace only comes from God. As long as man will not accept the peace God offers, there will be no peace.
We must be wise enough to distinguish the Truth of religion from the lies of the devil who often uses false religions to confuse men. Once you can do that, you will realize all I've said here today is true.

I am a christian and I love all people.
Even those terrorists. I do not approve of their actions. But, one must look past the human and see there to be a tortured soul. That has been lied to and has been brought up through an empty ocean of fear and hatred.
I do not agree with every ones point of view and or belief. But this does not mean I must hate them or disgrace them. Jesus said to be more like him.
So. I should probably...
#1. Love.
#2. Live by example.
(This means, not getting into peoples faces and saying. YOUR WRONG AND YOUR GOING TO HELL UNLESS YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT I BELIEVE IN!)
#3. A bunch of other things. (slight lol)
So, I am one. I am sure there are others. (I know there are...)
LOVE, PEACE, AND POPCORN!

whether I do experience better cohesion with my brothers and sisters in Christ, I ought to declare that I even have continuously felt a know for all humanity. I truthfully like varieties of human beings. So, i think undesirable when I see ANY group or somebody being attacked or belittled. i think even worse when I see people who share a hassle-loose bond -- the affection of Jesus Christ -- attacking one yet another who have self assurance purely a splash in any different case than themselves. It breaks my heart. And yet i'm no longer likely answering your question. specific, at situations I even have felt a cohesion between some. yet very some distance and few between. If it breaks my heart i can not think of the way it is going to make God experience.

You have stated some wonderful qualities here!! Yes, I agree with you that we love God and we need to disagree on certain issues. While I want everyone to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, I know it's a person's decision and not my own. But know that I do care!
Thanks for asking a very positive question!!

I am already there, I believe that God's people, the true believers can be found in almost every religion.
Peace and Love to all my brothers and sisters in Christ.
There is one thing almost every religion has in common outside of a belief in God and that is the belief in Angels.
