To disagree does not mean to not love. And...it's not judging either. It's just disagreeing.

We all disagree on something! We all make judgements. Two equal and opposing viewpoints cannot both be correct! At some point, if you are honest, you have to say " I believe this, you believe the opposite, and I think you are wrong". The important thing is how you act after you have made that determination. How do you treat this person once you have determined that you disagree? The proper thing to do is respect the persons right to hold their own viewpoint. That DOES NOT mean you have to regard their viewpoint as valid or correct.
Of course you can love someone and disagree with them. However, if you disagree with someone you are dating or want to marry and you disagree on core values, you may eventually lose respect for this person. A marriage that has love but lacks respect almost never survives.

I don't think that there is one person on earth that you agree with all the time, 100%. However, you never stop loving them. There are many things in Christianity that differ as denominations go but, we all love and serve the same Lord.
There is no judgment here, just difference of opinion. The word of God will always stand and Jesus said," A new commandment I give you, Love one another."

Love does not mean you are absolute!
What I mean is, you do not have to absolutely like or hate something the person you love does, says or is.
I love a person enough to be honest with them, even if it means I disagree or hurt their feelings from time to time. Love means telling me the truth, no what I want to hear. Love means telling me, "No" I hate that outfit you are wearing or "Yes" you are putting on a few pounds. Love often times requires you to judge me.

I love my parents, but completely disagree with the way they choose to live. I dont feel I'm judging them. They do get defensive and say I am, but I believe thats just the Holy Spirit convicting them. I dont look down on them, but I do pray for them.

"Informed Decisions" every day.I believe we are not to Judge
Someone as to Salvation,That would be( God"s area),I will to
not being in that Position.As to actions of Someone that is contrarty to Scripture,I am Restrained from Fellowship with
them .Very Good Question.

The definition of love often rquires that we do just that.
But judging is another matter, and that has very little to do with love, although they sometimes get confused.
If you are in love, and you find yourself judging, the only secret to peace of mind is to practice acceptance.
Accept things as they are, not as you would like them to be. This is called 'Living Life, on Life's terms, and it make real love, true love.

Yes, like I disagree evolutionists and homosexuals and still love them. I don't judge them for believing in evolution or being homosexuals. I just think they need God like everybody else.

Ever heard of disagreeing without being disagreeable. Or of agreeing to disagree?
What sense does it make to change your position with any opinion or belief you hear?

Yes you can disagree, and it not considered judging them.
