No, I don't. My love is selective and conditional, but it is nevertheless, based on how I am wired by genetics/environment as an individual.

So we're conditioned to love and to hate, but God desires that we love everyone. So he commands us, knowing that it is against our human nature to do so. Only through his power will we be able to do so.

I never said I agreed with your premises. It's not against my nature to love others, only that it is selective and conditional, the same way my hatred is selective and conditional. Is it now against my nature to hate others?

And there you go again with the "command" word.
