And you still don't seem to grasp that this is about love being of more importance over and above doctrine, not that doctrine is useless, and can be wrong, or can be neglected.
If you or I think our relationship with God is about doctrine and not about being like Christ, we've got a problem. We've missed it somewhere along the line. The strength and accuracy of our doctrine, or our service, will never replace being Christ-like in behavior and how we treat other people, though our natural tendency is to think it can and will. That is exactly how the Israelites went wrong. We should learn from their bad example.
