Which would you rather have, perfect doctrine or strong, strong love for other believers?

Well, I'd preferably have both, it's not really a fair question, but the Bible does say that we'll be know, not for our doctrine, but for our love for each other.

So the question becomes, how does that love play out practically in my life. Does this love I have for others, does that define me as different to everyone I come in contact with? How does that actually look?

I'm not sure, actually. I mean, most people are pretty nice to each other most of the time. There are certainly times when my relationship with God would prompt me to react differently than most other students, but that seems to be a reactive issue. Love seems to be a proactive concept.

It can't be just being nice, because there are too many nice people that aren't believers.
