If I could love my enemy, I could love myself more...

I think its too hard to do so. But its very easy to say. I think i will avoid such people . Its far better.

Jesus did not say "Love your enemy" to humiliate them, you have misunderstood all the best, urban

True. Your joy comes from how you react with things. We don't have a control with the enemies but we have on ourselves. If we are joyful despite of them around, we kill their power.

It is never my intention to humiliate other people because I think that says that my character is no better than the characters that other people have. However, I do feel like I am the kind of person that tends to always be kind to other people, no matter how much they have put me down in the past. The reason that I do this is not to humiliate another person, but it is because I want to be a person that is viewed as being a bigger person.

???? sorry but if you only love your enemy to humilate him/her you don't know what the word: lover you enemy means! Because this act/behaviour has nothing to do with loving your enemy but with you being proud of yourself because you finaly found a way to humilate the people you don't like/love but hate for sure. So why not just be honest and say what you feel? You seem to have enemies and you hate. Stand for what you are and do not make it sound better in the name of love.

Better to aviod those kind of people.. and take care of yourself and your own family there.

I totally agree with you and that passage....I really think that the best way to make vengeance to your enemies is by doing great and making good friends with them....in that way, they will surely realized that they are wrong in fighting with you and that they will now change for the better.

Absolutely. Try it and you will understand what does the Bible means. It is better to show them kindness, not necessarily love- but being kind to them will make them realize their mistake.

Hello Joliefille, My mom has a friend whom she recruited for a christian organization, but after a while she became jealous of her accomplishments. My mom for the sake of peace, she wanted to apologize but the lady seemed to be very tough and full of hatred. I pity that she has too much envy and hate into her heart that every one is not talking to her anymore. it reminds me not to become like him when the time comes

Well actually, that works for me. There are times when my husband and I would have a fight. He would always want to be right even though it is obviously his fault. It irritates me so much. But what I do, when I go to the mall, I buy something for him. Am not bribing him in anyway, but I just have the urge to buy him something.

Hi, I thought you are about to quote a biblical verse, I was about to reach for my bible to find the new and strange passages when the references appeared after you cited the Risen Christ. Nice connection there, between Shakespeare and the biblical principle. In my understanding, the passage should be: "If we love those who love us, then we are not quite different from the pagans, they too are doing these things." Loving one's enemies really set the Christians apart from the rest of humanity, a very demanding request, I should say, but very effective in making one victorious in every battle.

Hmmm I also love myself more and love enemy also because everyone loves their lover but I love my enemy because I trust enemy may become good friend after some time hahah...AM I RIGHT? I not like to hurt anyone but if by mistake happen this then I say them sorry.

I try to love my enemies however I'm careful too. There is an incidence that I try loving them but there is danger at stake as well when they do something bad already and will try to destroy you already. I also avoid these people. Thanks for sharing this.
