So I was looking at my profile and I saw that I made 199 posts and I was like oh my ggggooooodddddddneeeesss, I need to do something cool right now. I have been thinking about love a lot for a while and this verse has been in my mind a lot
1 Corinthians 13 New International Version (NIV)
13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

So honestly I was like when was the last time people had just loved each other. Like put the things that are stupid (sin) aside a love the person near you, your neighbor. Hate the sin but love the sinner. We're all sinnners, there ain't a thing that can clean our mess we are stuck in, EXCEPT the Blood of Jesus (the blood of the lamb). So we cannot go on without loving another and us the best love we got is compassion. We need to spread that, because love overcomes darkness. The Love, Grace and Mercy of Christ

If you don't want an argument you posted on the wrong site. And worse yet the wrong forum section (BDF). Or on the internet at all.

Correct! Because 1 Corinthians 13 is the "charity" chapter, not the "love" chapter. I know that ruins a lot of weddings but oh well.

I think love is a correct interpretation and not charity for what Paul was stating in 1 Corinthians 13:13.
Anyone can perform an act of charity for motives other than from a sincere desire in loving their neighbor.
As such, would doing a charitable act for a base motive, supersede faith enough to move mountains, or prophesy to fathom all mysteries and knowledge? I'd hardly think so.

Charity as defined by Scripture, can only be given by a true brother in Christ. Allow Scripture to define the term charity, not how man has changed it through the years.

In 1 Corinthians 13:5-6 we read that CHARITY "doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own". Charity as well "thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth". However when the new versions tell us that "love (agape) thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth" (NKJV), thenthis creates several direct contradictions with the rest of Scripture.

If "love seeks not her own and thinks no evil", and if "love rejoices not in iniquity but rejoices in the truth" then what do we do with the following Scriptures where "love" (agape) clearly seeks her own and does rejoice in evil and not in the truth?

John 3:19 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men LOVED darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." Agapao

John 12:42-43 "they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they LOVED the praise of men more than the praise of God." Agapao

Luke 6:32 "for sinners LOVE those that LOVE them." Agapao

2 Timothy 4:10 "For Demas hath forsaken me, having LOVED this present world..." Agapao

2 Peter 2:15 "Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam to son of Bosor, who LOVED the wages of unrighteousness." Agapao

1 John 2:15 "If any man LOVE the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Agapao
