Howdy and God Bless, Nightshift! To any Biblefags, a question:
What are your thoughts on the below verses? To truly follow the Word and to live as Jesus did, we must LOVE our enemies, LOVE those who are the worst scum of the Earth? Where are you all at on this particular aspect?
------โ-
Luke 6:27-36 (NLT) - Love for Enemies
โBut to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, donโt try to get them back. Do to others as you would like them to do to you.
โIf you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return.
โLove your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
