In the meantime, we are obliged as God's children to "pray one for another." To love our enemies; to love our neighbors; to love one another as Jesus loves us. In forum we may disagree on points, but now is the time to unite in begging God for help. Is it so much to ask? Is not love kind? Isn't it kind when one prays for another, simply out of love for the other people whom God created: simply out of love for God Himself?
Indeed, there is a scriptural mandate to love our enemies and pray for them. But there is a special love, of a type completely different in characteristic, that we are to direct toward our brothers in Christ. It is the difference of that between night and day. It is what prompted Christ to spurn the Syrophonecian woman beseeching his help on behalf of her sick daughter. She had to agree in her heart with his indictment that she was outside of the family of God, and was, in His own words, a “dog” before he showed mercy to her. At that moment, she entered the family, and into the new love that bretheren share.
