Love for Enemies 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matthew 5:43 Lev. 19:18

I know it's hard, but try to follow good examples.

Im sorry, but I can’t abide with “Love for enemies”. That love that we are suppose to give them is simply aid to the left in their stated goal of destroying this nation. Reading all the “damn, he missed” tweets saturday really hit it on the head just how evil and sick these people are. Maybe it makes me a really bad person, but i cannot love those people. They want to destroy us and this country and I do not intend to help them do it. Its time to stand up and fight for what we believe in.

I can pray for them but that’s about all the love I am inclined to express towards them.

I certainly will not partner with their sexual perversion, baby killing agenda.

Loving your enemies and accepting them and their actions are two VERY different things.

I do pray for my enemies, but I do not want to be associated with or even tacitly approve of their actions.

So I cannot accept unity.

The Word of God also says not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Also that we are in the world but not of it. The early Church was persecuted for not agreeing/celebrating sin and for preaching the gospel, which is vehemently opposed by the world.

Yes, we are to love and pray for the world, but not to compromise God’s Word to please them. We are to be Christians first.

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”

Good Biblical reference. Remember the Master’s words when Peter cut off Malthus’ear. I do not advocate initializing violence of any sort. But I do not want Christians to be unaware of the enemy(and his minions) that opposes us every day. We are to be wise as serpents but harmless as doves. I feel the modern democratic party is unequivocablly evil. We are not to have fellowship with evil. My God turned President’s Trump’s head at the last moment and saved him. I rejoice in this.
