Yea, well there’s one caveat; Love your “Christian” neighbor as yourself. Keep the rest at arms length.
ESPECIALLY if they've eaten a lot of garlic. [Wrinkles nose in distaste.]
AMEN!!
Well, we can only do and should do what we truly can do for and to others that we can do for ourselves. If it’s starts at just “ christian “ neighbor? Then that’s where it starts. If it never grows further, then that’s not bad. It’s just where a person is and can handle without losing their path. As long as they never hate non-Christian, then, that’s okay and understood. No worries. GOD knows and orders how much we can take and do. All is HIS anyway and HE gives us what HE wants.
PROVERBS 3:27
27 Refuse no kindness to those who have a right to it, if it is in your power to perform it.
ISAIAH 35:3-4
3 Strengthen all weary hands, steady all trembling knees
4 and say to the faint-hearted, ‘Be strong! Do not be afraid. Here is your God, vengeance is coming, divine retribution; he is coming to save you.’
PROVERBS 1:10-19
10 My child, if sinners try to seduce you, do not go with them.
11 If they say, ‘Come with us: let us lie in ambush to shed blood; if we plan an ambush for the innocent without provocation,
12 we can swallow them alive, like Sheol, and whole, like those who sink into oblivion.
13 We shall find treasures of every sort, we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot with us: one purse between us all.’
15 My child, do not follow them in their way, keep your steps out of their path
16 for their feet hasten to evil, they are quick to shed blood;
17 for the net is spread in vain if any winged creature can see it.
18 It is for their own blood such people lie in wait, their ambush is against their own selves!
19 Such are the paths of all who seek dishonest gain: which robs of their lives all who take it for their own.
1 CORINTHIANS 2:8-13
8 None of the rulers of the age recognised it; for if they had recognised it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;
9 but it is as scripture says: What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;
10 to us, though, God has given revelation through the Spirit, for the Spirit explores the depths of everything, even the depths of God.
11 After all, is there anyone who knows the qualities of anyone except his own spirit, within him; and in the same way, nobody knows the qualities of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Now, the Spirit we have received is not the spirit of the world but God’s own Spirit, so that we may understand the lavish gifts God has given us.
1 CORINTHIANS 3:22-23
21 So there is to be no boasting about human beings: everything belongs to you,
22 whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, the world, life or death, the present or the future — all belong to you;
23 but you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.
Praise Jesus,
