14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21
However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"

Ok i will no longer be loving to those who hate me , dishonor me , scorn me,smite me on the cheek , say all manner of things about me, i will react just like i did without fail before i ever knew the transforming power of God's love towards mankind (which includes the most vile of the human race which i without Him in my life would continue to be)
Or i could believe the gospel of bad news which you believe in which is exclusive to only those who become a christian and within moments of becoming a christian forget the great mercy you was shown and the debt you could never had paid yourself.
So when do we see you walk on water? Rise from the dead? Ascend into heaven?
Do you not understand that we are called to love all without any regard to how bad they appear in your eyes, even if they do not honor God and curse Him.
So what has this stupid question got to do with anything ?
What part of loving your enemies are you having a hard time understanding ?
Do you think God does not love His enemies but wants us to love them ?
Are you so spiritually dead that you believe such a lie ?
Do you not understand that we are called to love all without any regard to how bad they appear in your eyes, even if they do not honor God and curse Him.
