Oh, there’s no shortage of loathsome people, but hating them won’t make them go away. We should love our neighbours not because they are lovable, but because they are neighbours.
Oh, there’s no shortage of loathsome people, but hating them won’t make them go away. We should love our neighbours not because they are lovable, but because they are neighbours.
And loving them will not make them less loathsome. M4-10 has it right.
Who is the neighbour in Luke 10:37 and why? The robbers, the Priest, the Levite, or the Samaritan?
You’re thinking of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:44, I think, which doesn’t mention neighbours. Not one of the big J’s more convincing arguments, to my mind.
(But not quite as fundamentalist as verses 27-30. I do wonder sometimes why you don’t see more Abu Hamza lookalikes in Churches. Or maybe you’re not supposed to take it seriously?)

How very tribal. I’m going to continue judging people on their merits, and not their domicile proximity.
And loving them will not make them less loathsome. M4-10 has it right.
I win! M4-10: 1. Jesus Christ: 0.
Suddenly I feel itchy and nauseous. Probably plague of vengeful deity.
That wouldn’t be a God that hates?
Is hate good?
Is this a Honda commercial?
“I have a dream, that someday my children will be judged not on the color of their skin but the content of their character…”
J,

Na Nick! It wasn’t the Pharisees
It was Dion Warwick surely!
