BERNIMOORE:
Jesus even goes further that you should
"Love your Enemies"
Of course your enemy is not your friend and does not love you but you're commanded to love your Enemies when they don't even love you

Mathew 5:43

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I (Jesus) tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

So in essence, I should love my enemy even when he is planning to kill me abi?

A true Christian loves his neighbour as his/herself.

There's nothing like Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Edo, Tiv, white,black, brown, etc, with a true child of God

Omooba77:
Do you love your neighbours as yourself?
I just can't imagine the level of selfishness in the world....

There's this my neighbor I ove so much but she was my neighbors wife,
I loved her till I moved out of the street

richiemcgold:
Don't let them fool you, nobody can love his neighbor the same way he loves himself. For instance, I can lay down my life to save my child, but I won't do that for a neighbor's child. Can you?

only Jesus layed down His life for others. The Bible didn't ask you to do that.

Your neighbor is not just referring to people whose houses are next to yours. It's saying, everyone you come in contact with at every point in time...

99.9 of christians in Nigeria are bloody hypocrites. They don't practice what they preach .

THE TWO HAUSA NEIGHBORS I HAVE AROUND ME HERE,??... NEVER!!!!!

Everybody is a hypocrite!

Love your Neighbour as yourself.......the important part not more than yourself

🌺

How will I love the person that's gaslighting me to everyone just because I purposely let her food got burnt in the kitchen...i mean what kind of woman leave her food alone to go chitchat with a man outside

And you expect someone who is watching over his food that's cooking to help you turn yours off...


I can't love people who doesn't love me ooo

This is a hard teaching. . .

jocelynor:
What if

Hassanmaye:
Hmmm

I am agnostic, and that is because I am true to myself that I can never be christian and do what christ preaches us to do, and even if I tried I would keep failing because society would persecute me immensely. Nigerian society is also filled with people who identify as christian but you'd be hard pressed to find a single one that is actually christian in the true biblical sense of the word. Most of them are delusional and this questions answers the most rudimentary fact. The average Nigerian do not and could never love their enemies as they love themselves and that is why our country is in ruins and chaos.

Let my neighbor love me as himself or herself.

Loving your neighbour has yourself is having consideration for others in addition to other things.

Don't litter, dispose dirt with dignity, treat your domestic / corporate staff as you would like to be treated, treat your landlord's house with regards, treat your tenants with dignity by building respectable houses, don't kill the breadwinners in your family with black tax, treat your employer as you will treat your business, treat your spouse/friend/lover/neighbours as you will like to be treated, if you are an artisian, deliver quality, don't underprice artisians etc.

You get the idea.

The worst thing 99% of them don't practice the religion,

Na person wey dey very comfortable dey answer this kind question... So you mean at this present economy for Nigeria. To be very candid, your papa and mama fit denial you.

Is the economy worse than Roman occupied Judea in the year 0 AD? Your excuse is just a cover up because deep down you know that you cannot do without sin. It is your oxygen

You should also include don't be greedy or try to profit at the expense of others. Don't be envious nor work towards others downfall, etc. you get the idea
How many Nigerian Christians follow this rudimentary principles that is the foundation of what Christianity is?

My question is why do most of you christians then come for me when I declare that I am agnostic, when you who is about to chastise me would cause Jesus to turn in his tomb from shame and anger. Hardly any of you are christian in practice and yet you dare presume to have the moral high ground

YES!
