God cares about how we treat one another. God doesn't care about things like mixed fabrics or if we eat a ham sandwich or not. Let us not major in minors.
When we stand before God to be judged... we will be judged with regards as to if we had truly loved as we should have. And only Jesus demonstrates the kind of love God intends us to have. Jesus is the way of love. The process of becoming increasingly like Jesus through a spiritual oneness with Him is sanctification. It's a life long process. And we do well to remember that and approach it with great patience and introspection.

As if ANYONE on the forum ever condemned anyone for mixing fabrics or eating a ham sandwhich.
Love does not EXCLUDE keeping commandments, denying self, and obedience. These are all part of the whole counsel of God.
