Sadly, it leaves out the deepest parts of 1 Cor 13 for sentimental effect. People like to hear the word "love" repeated and emphasized with entertaining feel-good music but do not want to hear what it means. Otherwise they would have to give up the notion is has resemblance to the kind of love they are familiar and cozy with.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." While the scripture used in this video may seem "entertaining feel-good" and "cozy" to you ... I see it entirely different. To truly love is very hard and challenging and isn't easy. It takes discipline and obiedence. So, I see the opposite of your point.
@winkle74 You did not even read what I said: just BECAUSE what you say in the beginning is true, that's why you should not have used this straw man fallacy.
I did NOT say or imply that the SCRIPTURE is at fault in any way here.
The lie lies in THIS VIDEO which LEAVES OUT those parts of that very same scriptural source which lends it depth and its true meaning.
@winkle74 This selectivity doesn't follow wisdom but a deceptive (towards self and others) desire for coziness.
With this manipulative selectivity, it simply is no longer scripture: by removing the meaning-delivering completeness, it changes the meaning completely. People are delighted about this "quote" only because it the meaning has been falsified (by omission) to fit their desires.
Such misuse of scripture for selfish purposes is quite demonic in fact. True love demands complete confrontation with the facts of existence and death and an utter transformation (metanoia, "repentance") in face of the truths about death and life. True religion is never cozy religion. Cozy religion is in fact that which (this jerk) Marx justly called "opium for the people".
@LooksAeterna Totally agree with what scripture says about love (the entire collection of books), I just disagree with your thoughts about the use of the video. I could debate it, but I won't because I can already tell that it wouldn't do any justice. Thanks!
Just include the (short) parts that were deliberately left out. If it doesn't suit the same purpose, observe the difference between that (your) purpose and its true purpose (according to scripture).
Observe how people would be less likely to be all delighted about it. Observe how this is then necessarily delight about something scripture doesn't mean.
All this can be empirically observed if you just try it. You don't have to believe my, your or any others' opinions
Thank you so much for the download, it is truly being used to spread this message, God bless.

@winkle74 Well it's simple:
Just include the (short) parts that were deliberately left out. If it doesn't suit the same purpose, observe the difference between that (your) purpose and its true purpose (according to scripture).
Observe how people would be less likely to be all delighted about it. Observe how this is then necessarily delight about something scripture doesn't mean.
