Even God didn't love lucifer (his no1 enemy). He casted him away and subjected him to eternal languishment. All these biblical rules sometimes contradicts.

Love your enemy my foot!!



The bible didn't say turn the other cheek, it says turn the other side. The other side could be anything - It could be a smile, it could be a dagger or the most baddas riffle. This is more of a personal preference.

The greatest invention of the early man was spiritual books. He was able to brainwash and colonize millions with it. Its the most effective tool to control humanity. They were very wise!

forgiveness is key to holiness

walls01:


God is the judge and law. if he did not cast out Lucifer, will there still be any that keep the law with fear? you must have fear to keep the law

celestialAgent:
If he, God had forgiven lucifer and cleansed his mind, there will be no need for the instilling law because lucifer who now seem to be the omnipotence of sin would be just another righteous angel leaving supposed sinners with no mentor and vim.

So judging from the logical aspect of the Bible, it is a sin to forgive your enemy since God won't and we are said to have been made in his image to emulate his doings.

psucc:
Hallelujah! This was the reason Paul warned the brethren to beware of strange doctrine or a new teaching. Today, even in the elevated 'born again' churches, out pastors are now preaching fire for fire, head for an eye and portray the Lord only as a consuming fire without telling men of the Lord's mercy and forgiveness.

They end up rubbishing the dead and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

May God be merciful.

bro change is constant, the prayer of jesus Christ on the cross to forgive them for they do not know what they are doing have passed, they now know what they are doing; they are killing you, isis, bokoharm etc where not in existence then, the leaders then where not looting the people dry and building estates in other nations, crime rates where at minimal then and punishment melted out to dfaulters. one group of people where not killing the other then asking for forgiveness.
any pastor that shouts fire for fire, I support him, if making scores equal will make us leave in peace and harmony then why should we relent. if you know that once you kill my goats I will retaliate and kill yours, there would be peace cos you also wont like ur goats killed. take a good look so far at isreal and Pakistan, if not for the fire for fire mentality do you think isreali would still be in existence

Enemy na enemy , no love for enemies oo. Na the time wey dem write bible that thing work ooo , enemies of now dey do oversabi ooo

if someone hits you on the right cheek, turn the left!


this can never be me

ScepticalPyrrho:
There are some moral teachings of the bible I share. But to "turn the right cheek"? That's humanly insane.

How many times are we to forgive our politicians who continue rob us and pour sand on our face yet we continue to vote for them.

Change might be constant but God never changes bro.
Heaven and earth might pass way but his word never changes.

Besides, if you think that things are bad today as they were back then then you must not know your history. The jews at this time were under Roman oppression. If you think Buhari or Abacha was bad then go and try Caesar. As rebellious as Israel was during Roman rule the Romans use to ruthlessly deal with them so do not even try to compare 21st century democracy to Roman occupation.

What you need is the helper to empower you to live as Christ wants you to. Trying to do otherwise will lease to failure and frustration.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. - Matt 24:35

davidif:


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 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. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matt 5:43 - 48

Dude what are you talking about? This is why there is a lot of division in the church, suspicion among family members and the church is no longer being a light to the world. Almosr every religuiis person thinks that the person that looked at them somehow in the church is an "agent of the enemy". So instead of the children of the most high to be living in love, joy and peace they are bound by fear, hatred of there fellow man and paranoia that someone from the village is out to get them.

God is the judge and gave all creature the opportunity to change. going by the countless numbers of falling angels you will conclude that devil was given more than enough time to change. know also God cannot force any of his creature that he create to have free will that will corrupt the system like in computer virus, but will remove the virus by force in other to clean the system

Na lie. God's word never changes.

Maybe it's insane to you because you are trying to do it by your own strength and your own way.

PMWSpirit:

God word no change, you hear,but the people the words are meant for, don change patapata, from bad to Devils incarnate. So new laws are needed,

We are not talking about suspicion here. we are talking about a CONFIRMED enemy.

I still maintain my stands that Times have passed, desperate Times is now calling for desperate measures, you should think been peaceful is easy, wait till u have a man standing with knive on your neck and you do not fight back

celestialAgent:
At the bolded, after making those edifices mutually beneficial here on earth, is it said/expected to be the same after life? Why do we have heaven and hell? Why was it stated that the current hell is just a preamble, the lake of fire is the main home of lucifer and his folowers after the judgment day?

Are the unrighteous not Gods enemy - I mean people who destroy Gods work for their earthly benefits? You might want to just say they are just unrighteous and not enemy.

Why can't God just grant them unsolicited forgiveness since we are meant to love and forgive our enemies? You know like God making the heaven readily available for a fellow who cut off a woman's vigin.a for money ritual? I guess you would expect the victim to just forgive when God made it clear in his word that such crimes carry heavy consequences.

davidif:


Just know that whenever you open your mouth to pray for your enemy to die that if God were to bring his own judgement on you. You would most likely not last.

davidif:


So God should change his words for you right? Gotcha.

davidif:


Dude, I was in church sometime ago and a woman lashed out at a man that brushed against her. She asked him if "they sent him" or something stupid like that. If you think I am lying, I know someone who gets scared and starts binding when she comes across multiple people wearing red or black in church. Can you imagine? And she is uber religious o.

Chidonc:

any way you seem to understand it , but what I know is Times have change and people have changed with it, isreali -Pakistan war is a pure example
