nooooooooooooo, God wouldn't do that to us.This is a hard one. I mean, I recently flipped off my neighbors for hassling me, so I'm hardly one to talk. I think of Proverbs 27:17 when I think of obnoxious people...I think they're in your life for a reason.
(Just a thought) Doesn't love have to go two ways to be love? Can a hateful person who has become toxic from resentment love you in return?proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up conflict,

off topic, john in Hebrew is Yochan. the german yohan is closer to it then the English rendering. my Brother's name is John.1. Love them to death.
Love conquers all.
2. I am currently loving another poster in another thread.
He is having a difficult time with my love.
Can't handle it.
3. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
How do we do that?
Stay focused on Jesus and love comes out of us.
4. I once knew a person who outwardly, verbally hated Jews for no reason.
His name was John.
I said to him,
John?, that's a beautiful Jewish name.
He was speechless from that time forward.

I guess true love is nothing to fear.I think....well, in Christ, we are to forgive 70x7. We are to love the un-lovable. We are to love even when it hurts every fiber of our being (I'm writing this as much for me as for you, btw).
The core of Christianity is forgiveness and loved. We are forgiven, we are loved...both of these things are ongoing. Christians "show Christ" when we show love, even (especially?) to the un-loveable and those despitefully use us.
That's not only off topic, but it doesn't make sense and if anything it is biased.off topic, john in Hebrew is Yochan. the german yohan is closer to it then the English rendering. my Brother's name is John.
That bible verse fits perfectly into our discussion.1 John 4:18
biased? it is based on what the origin of the name is from Hebrew. jesus spoke two languages. aramiac and Hebrew. not English. the name of beloved is likely something like yochan. but Its not like I didn't say you were wrong just that in Hebrew its yochan. here are the names of john in other toungesThat's not only off topic, but it doesn't make sense and if anything it is biased.
I have heard several renderings of John in Hebrew.biased? it is based on what the origin of the name is from Hebrew. jesus spoke two languages. aramiac and Hebrew. not English. the name of beloved is likely something like yochan. but Its not like I didn't say you were wrong just that in Hebrew its yochan. here are the names of john in other tounges
Spanish, juan
French, jean
irish, sean
german, yohan
Russian, Ivan
Italian, Giovanni
there are variations of names. jesus, yeshua, yehoshua, yeshu. just. I know about the yochanan. ashkenazic spelling. you are using the Sephardic rendering. dialects do exist in Hebrew.I have heard several renderings of John in Hebrew.
Which Hebrew do you speak?
I one I was referring to is Yohanan.
The fact that you claimed your rendering to be the correct rendering is biased.
