The bible says exactly what it means; it's mans erroneous interpretations, which other scriptures prove those erroneous interpretations to be in error.

Common sense.

Your salvation is contingent upon love.

Common sense, deductive reasoning with the context of what is described.

While the Lord gave the ten commandments directly to the Exodus Jews; I am aware that God meant it for the whole world, and not just one small group of people.

It pertains to everyone.

I'm trying to put it in as simple terminology as I can for you.

People before Jesus, like the Samaritan did not get a special pass; the Lord died for all who would love their neighbor as themselves from Adam up to the Lords return.

The Lord told the Pharisees to judge with common sense; the same should be done here.

Are you claiming that people who loved their neighbor before Jesus came around entered, get a special pass? That is not gospel. Then we have the sheep in Matthew 25, who consist of many after Jesus came around, who are awarded the kingdom of heaven for having loved their neighbor.

God is love, means love is God. If you love your neighbor, you're Godding your neighbor.

Look at the Samaritan example in Luke 10. He believed in loving his neighbor, who being a Jew was the enemy of Samaritans. Could Love do less for him?

If the atheists, Mormons, Catholics, Jehovah witnesses, ect., believe in loving their neighbor; they then believe IN/ON Christ, even if they (the atheists) do not verbally claim faith in Christ. God is love! If atheists believe in loving their neighbor, they then believe in God, despite claiming...

I have read the bible many times, and still do.

The people you speak of who love their neighbor by caring for the sick, the elderly and others, who you say never received Jesus and will thus be in Hell, are they whom the Lord refers to as His sheep in Matthew 25:33-40, who thought they did not know Jesus. They know love, and love knows them...
