As you said yourself, "His method does not require us to do it properly or be on the right mountain, His method is not based on our performance of good or evil." Can you not see that as meaning regardless of what religious doctrine you follow, as long as you love Him truly and your inner most intent is in love rather than "false idols" than you are in His favor?

********************************************

Aeric you totallly missed the purpose of what I said. It is not about how well we can perform, it is not about how we are capable of love, however it is about us having the capability to love.
Trying to please God by what we can do is futile and religious. Trying to be a better person is nothing but self works and self righteousness.

My point is that when we are given faith in Christ, and this is not something we possess within us, faith is a gift from God towards us. When we have faith we donīt judge ourselves any longer by our personal actions, we judge Christ and His actions.

Love works in us, it is not something that we work in ourselves, God is perfect love, anything short of what He is not pure and true love. A person cannot truly love without having received the love of Christ within them.

You are saying it is up to us and how we are capable of showing love or being good. Therefore your standard of measure is sef-righteousness which breeds self-glorification and pride...Love cannot work in us through our efforts....As all this is is following the knowledge of good and evil we have been born with.

Teaching someone what is good and what is evil is a complete waste of time, This knowledge is born into mankind and has no reason for teaching, as this knowledge has only brought death to mankind.
