What We Should Do To Our Enemies As Christians.. by JesusSonOfGod: 11:42am On Jan 07, 2018 |
Copied from CBN... .. Did Olga love those who wronged her? Instead of asking prayer that the injured man be healed, Olga could have asked that God punish them for their wicked ways. Would that have been a Christ-like attitude? No. What did Jesus do the night He was arrested and Peter cut off the ear of the high priest's slave? That slave was an enemy of Jesus, but Luke tells us, "But Jesus said, 'Enough of this!' He touched the man's ear and healed him" (Luke 22:51). We want to be like Jesus who loved His enemies and forgave them. In Matthew 5:44 He said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." And again in Matthew 6:15, "If you do not forgive others, then your Father in heaven will not forgive the wrongs you have done." Love is the greatest Christian virtue. First Corinthians 13:13 tells us, "Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love." Christians should love God first. He will in turn put His love in our hearts so we can love both friends and enemies. "Jesus answered, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind'" (Matthew 22:37). "And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34). Memorize this verse and repeat it often, remembering that a believer's most important responsibility to God and to His fellowman is love. Memory Verses You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. - Matthew 5:43-45 8 Likes 1 Share |

marooh: We were commanded by Jesus to pray for our enemies. We are Christians because we ought to live like Him. Christianity means Christ-like, people who live like Christ. Alot of Christians have lost it. They pray 'die by fire'. I wonder the religion they are practicing. 11 Likes |

marooh: Is Islam not enemy of Christianity ? Can you pray for Islam , whose agenda is to kill Christianity and force your children to serve Satan? When your enemy is blessed. he will not leave you alone neither will he help you but will oppress you till you die. WHERE IS LEAH SHUAB ? That is the work of an enemy. Satan is the god of Islam who has succeeded in caging all the Muslims and is using them to fight the Christians world wide. Our real enemy is Satan and his agents of darkness , you have to pray against them and spoil their plans. Why did Jesus not pray for Judas Iscariot but cursed him ? Why did Jesus pray for Peter and not Judas? Matthew 26:21-24 KJV And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. [22] And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? [23] And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. [24] The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but WOE unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 4 Likes 1 Share |

ARE Y'ALL FROM CROATIA? BECAUSE CHRISTIANS IN MY COUNTRY ARE ALWAYS PRAYING THAT THEIR ENEMIES DIE BY FIRE. THEY BELIEVE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY THE ENEMIES (VILLAGE PEOPLE). -OH, YOU DIDN'T DO TOO WELL IN YOUR EXAMS? BLAME IT ON THE ENEMIES. -YOUR KID LEFT THE GAS COOKER ON AND IT LED TO A FIRE INCIDENT THAT BURNT DOWN THE HOUSE? THE ENEMIES AGAIN. -YOU PAY LITTLE ATTENTION TO YOUR CAR AND NEGLECT THE VALUABLE PARTS.. BLAME IT ON THE ENEMIES WHEN YOUR TIRE BURSTS ON THE HIGHWAY. -YOUR MARRIAGE IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF PRIDE AND MISUNDERSTANDING? THE ENEMIES ARE AT WORK SURELY. -YOU WOKE UP LATE AND MISSED AN IMPORTANT INTERVIEW? THE ENEMIES MADE YOU OVERSLEEP. -YOU GOT EXPELLED FROM THE MINOR SEMINARY FOR EXAM MALPRACTICE? THE ENEMIES MADE YOU NOT TO STUDY AND SEDUCED YOU INTO CHEATING. THE ENEMIES WORSENED THE SITUATION BY USING THE ADMINS TO EXPEL YOU. IN THIS COUNTRY EVERY BAD SITUATION IS THE WORK OF THE ENEMIES, AND "THAT OLD WIDOW IN THE VILLAGE". JESUS TAUGHT CHRISTIANS TO LOVE AND PRAY FOR THEIR ENEMIES, BUT IN THIS COUNTRY EVERY CHRISTIAN IS PRAYING AGAINST HIS ENEMY, WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE NEXT CHRISTIAN WHO IS ALSO PRAYING AGAINST HIS ENEMIES -THE NEXT CHRISTIAN PRAYING AGAINST ENEMIES... AND IT GOES ON AND ON IN THIS CYCLE OF NONSENSE SUPERSTITIOUS BULLSHĮT. 19 Likes 1 Share |

Christians have long since forgotten about this virtue. It's new virtue is "tithes or no heaven*, " tithe or things will be tight for you" or "die by fire". If you don't abide by any of the above, you are not a true Christian. #peace 3 Likes |

enilove: I laugh when I read this nonsense. Muslims are devils and they worship Satan while Christians are saints and they worship God. How many people has that Satan destroyed? How many people has God destroyed? God destroyed from old testament to new testament to the real world and till date, he still destroys yet Satan is the devil and God is as clean as fvck.

This stvpid dea of my own sect is the only approved sect by the only true god is as myopic and extremely stvpid as those who preaches and practices it. Change your mentality.
