    Need Your Advice

    Hello True Christians,

    I am not a christian, so being that you all are True Christians and your expertise is the Holy Bible and True Christianity, I would like your knowledgeable guidance on a question, I have been thinking about since I have started reading the Holy Bible.

    I read in the new testament where Jesus said for me to love my enemies. What I want to know is, do I have to love God's enemies?

    I am stupid compared to the wise. So as that I will not be confused by my own stupidity when you give me your answer. I have taken the liberty to simplify it for my own benefit.

    Please pick 1.

    A. Yes, I have to love the enemies of God.

    B. No, I do not have to love the enemies of God.

    May the Lord bless you for your kindness to me with the right answer.

    Thank you very much
    True Christians.

    Re: Need Your Advice

    Simple, let's get the wisest of them all to answer that for you:


    Romans 5
    King James Version

    1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
    2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
    3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
    4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
    5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

    6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
    7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
    8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
    9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
    10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
    11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
    12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
    14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
    15But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
    16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
    19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
    20Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
    21That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

    When we hate God’s enemies (not our own [Mt. 5:44]), we demonstrate our love for God (Psalms 139:19-22). When we cry out to God to judge speedily the wicked, we are expressing our hatred for the harmfulness of evil deeds and our desire that they be frustrated (Rev. 6:9-11).
    Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
    Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
    Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
    Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
    Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

        You say you're not a Christian. How, then, can you be a reformed heathen? Wouldn't it be more accurate for your username to be something like "UnrepentantHeathen"?

        Anyway, why don't you post a proper introduction and tell us all about yourself and your heathenism?

          Did you mistake Landover Baptist Church forum for Dear Abby?

          We are here to praise God for sparing us an eternity of Hell-fire and damnation, an eternity you'll know all too well if you don't get right with God.

          You need to read your Bible, cover to cover, don't skip any of the little bits, even if they seem scary or monstrous to your unsaved ears.

          "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17).

          When you have true faith, you'll have the Holy Spirit as your guide then you won't have any questions. Imagine having God Almighty as your personal adviser. You can do no wrong with God on your side!
          Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

            In addition to asking this question here at Landover Baptist, you have asked it here and here and who knows where else.

            Stop being a lazy copy-and-paste maggot and start reading the KJV Bible. All the answers are right there in plain American.

                      Pastor I am glad that you are here. I have been reading the bible and I have many many questions. I will love to hear your advice and all the other True Christians preach to me from your vast expertise of the knowledge of God and His most awesome Word.

                      Pastor I read where man is created in the image of God. Is this true? And if so are the children of the devil created in the image of God? If not who's image are they created in? And who created them?

                      Thank you True Christians.

                        Boy, you are obviously confused.

                        Jesus sent you to us because of this. Confess of all the sins you have committed in detail and perhaps you may be saved.


                        Leviticus 26:27-29

                        27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
                        28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
                        29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

                          God has showed me in my heart; I Hate Evil. Is Evil the enemies of God? If so then I hate the enemies of God. Is Evil my enemy? Yes it is. So I must confess to you that I do not love all my enemies. I know God already know this. I know Jesus already know this. So I wait till they change my heart if it be their will.

                            I would like to know if True Christians are in agreement that Evil is the enemy of God. If not how come? And If so I have another things to talk about to you. The reason I ask True Christians questions is because they are experts in the bible and the Word of God. I want to make sure what I believe is correct according to God.

                            Thank you True Christians.

                            Lord God bless you with answers for me. amen

                              You aren't Christian, are you. You certainly haven't studied the Holy Bible.

                              How can you hate evil, when God created it?

                              Proverbs 16:4
                              The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

                              Isaiah 45:7
                              I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

                              Joshua 23:15
                              Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

                              1 Samuel 16:14
                              But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

                              2 Samuel 12:11
                              Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

                              1 Kings 9:9
                              And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

                              2 Kings 22:16
                              Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
                              Who Will Jesus Damn?
