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"

For those who love him. For those who honor 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.

You didn't die on the cross, so you'd best not say that.

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 ?

Who calls on God to do likewise?

Other than sinners?
