The point is we are to pray for their conversion.

That doesn't mean we can't condemn their behavior, or shine light on their motives.

In fact, we can go to war against the darkness influencing their choices by praying for God’s light and fierce love to invade their space.

The Bible tells us to love EVERYONE. However, this is not a “feeling” love, but an action love. We are to pray for their conversion and share the Gospel with whomever we can.

You’ve heard the old saying, “Love them to death!”

Well, it applies.

Isn’t the Christian supposed to be like his/her Father?

Psalm 11:5
The Lord tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

To Christians, loving your enemies, even political enemies, is expected.

I have a neighbor that is a demonRAT and I love him {his wife is a real karen and named karen}.

He knows that I am a Trumpster, {I guess all of the yard signs gave him a clue} and we never talk politics.

Most of his brothers and sisters {BIG Family 11 siblings} are Trumpsters, and they are all friendly with me when they visit him.

I will say, that he is the exception, because I don't usually even talk to most demonRATs.

No point, especially if they want to talk politics, because they will not accept logic.

Heh, If your political enemy is willing to kill you, letting your “love show” is a death sentence or suicide by naivety.

Does love the sinner but hate the sin apply here?

We can love our neighbor who supports Democrat and socialist policies, while we hate those policies and vote accordingly can’t we?

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

Does Loving One’s Enemies Apply to Politics?

Not so you'd notice.

No. And neither does turning the other cheek.

I take Lewis's general advice very seriously as to spending some time attempting to convert deserving youth who may have been led astray, especially by libtard educators. In most cases, however, a person who has not realized the dangers of collectivism is beyond hope once they hit thirty. I give those incapable of reason a heaping helping of “benign neglect.”

A long time ago, loving one’s enemies got you eaten by lions while the enemies seated in the arena cheered.

Americans have loved their progressive enemies and America has been destroyed in the process.

No. No applies to war and politics and hostile human interaction in general.

Turn the other cheek and/or give your enemies an opening and they will kill you, physically or otherwise. Democrats have proved this with witless republicans over and over.

Usuyally, for peace to prevail, War must precede it. And that is brewing now, world-wide.

It’s been said that a liberal is a man too open-minded to take his own side in a quarrel.

This fellow goes on at some length with the hidden purpose of advantaging evil by placing it on the same moral level as good.

Love means treating someone according to how the Bible says we should treat each other. It is not this warm fuzzy feeling that people think of when they think of the word love.

When someone does wicked things there is nothing wrong with praying that God will restrain them and overthrow his enemies. It’s up to us to pray that they repent, but we don’t have to give them a big smooch.
