I understand what you are saying.
For me personally, I do not find comfort in the Bible. I know many people do, and I respect that. But I have also seen scripture used to frighten, condemn, exclude, and control people. So I approach it carefully.
I agree with you that words without love can bring death rather than life. That is exactly why I am cautious. Even sacred words can become dangerous when they are used without humility and kindness.
For me, the test is simple: does this bring peace, mercy, honesty, and love into the present moment? If not, I step back.
Truth without love does not feel like truth to me. It feels like fear wearing religious clothing.

@Robinzz3@mastodon.au "Truth without love does not feel like truth to me." Agreed. It is impossible for the two to be separated. Where there is one, there the other is. Sunlight is a perfect example of this. It is light, but it is also heat. The sun always produces both, not only one of the other. Light represents truth. Heat represents love. Sunlight and heat are always one, as truth and love are one. This truth also points to what Jesus said: I (the Son) and the Father, are One.
