It tnen provides them with great excuse for not loving one another. The source for this is not truth, but pride.
There was a Christian out my way, who took serious the Lord's command to pray in his closet. He was thus able to visit every church around and use his favorite pet verse in order to condemn them. Would you like to meet my "pit bull?"
Since this was our Lord's direct command to the disciples, i do believe he had far more justification than any "one city one church" preacher.

This is why Paul charges us to "speak truth in love".
