God understands my hatred for criminals right?

It's tempting but I won't let you drag me down to your level either.

You’re doing a great job of dragging yourself down, way lower than I could have ever gone.

It’s obvious that evil people will attack you when you stand up for righteousness. God was right!!!

Yes, and righteousness is loving your enemy. Thank you Jesus! I love that you are the light of the world!!!

I have had lots of practice with my sister. This is what happens. Same kind of words even and it is scary.

I know the older wiser heads avoid threads like this. Just block them from the start. Don't get caught up in the nonsense.
What should be a warning to all of us, is don't use the Bible to glorify your own prejudices and sin. Bible knowledge can be the very opposite of the real Christian message.

Yep, even the devil when tempting Jesus used scripture. (Incorrectly)

Not once did I glorify prejudice and sin. You can’t name one time I did.

I used scripture correctly in every way because I am saved by His blood. He loves me and blesses me. He brings me through trials. You will not shake my faith and God will stop all evil soon.

If this is the case.......why are you glossing over "loving your enemies"? Seriously, you just skip that part? I don't get it. It is a HUGE part of being Christian.

I know this. God commands us to do very difficult things. My post was about Him understanding how I feel. Everyone is going to struggle with this, but God does not condemn us in our struggles the way ummm uh lots of people do.

Explain how I used scripture wrongly, and to do so, you would have to take those verses and show everyone here how to use them correctly. Come on...I’m here...waiting

Where do you find the Christian is to love his enemies?

You are quoting just Old Testament. It's like you are purposefully doing that. Jesus has taken the Old Testament and wrapped it in Love and that is what we are to do as children of God. God is the only one who can judge. If you are Christian you know that our command is to love one another and love our enemies even.

Look out. A volley of Bible verses heading your way. Destroyer missiles aimed at leaving no prisoners. Total devastation.!

Wrong!! God tells Christians to judge righteously. I did post things from the New Testament lol. You just seemed to ummm...yanno...gloss over it lol. But here’s a lil New Testament treat for you eyes ? ?
John 7:24

That won't be enough for them. They will distort this message to justify hatred.

I'm doing both. I can honestly say I'm loving my enemies AND using righteous judgment. The judgement I'm using is that I believe what Jesus says.
