Ha.
Enemy isnt a label like murderer who murders; thief that steals; abuser who abuses.
Enemy doesnt have that connection. Since I dont define people by their actions, I wouldnt use enemy because that refers to a person. A persons actions are cruel but you wouldnt use enemy to describe it.
Haha. Actually not those examples. If they lied, I didnt know it.
Yes, Ive experienced things like that. I dont hold grudges on purpose. If I notice (these days) I think of someone else poorly, Im aware, and learn to change my thoughts and thus my actions. Calling someone an enemy and names hasnt been part of my personality. Im more pull-back and run not fight and insult.
But to each his own way of handling stress. Just enemy isn ot a good word Id describe someones actions without targeting the nature of the person who commited them.
We do bad things, so I guess yes. My point is when we say enemy, we separate that other person as a sinner and we are not. As if we cant be a sinner as well.
Okay
I see how you are looking at it now.
You don't see enemy by definition, so enemy doesn't exist from your point of view. Whatever one does, doesn't prompt you to label them. So if someone acts hypocritical, they are not a hypocrite. If they act deceitfully, they are not deceitful. If they lie and cheat, they are not liars and cheaters. If they murder, they are not murderers...
They are just people.

Man... you are a boss. Have you ever had to deal with someone who tells you things that are not true, and carry away things that don't belong to them, without asking permission?
How would you handle a situation where a person like that offers to keep house for you, while you take a trip for a week?
Say, you really are in need of someone to do that for you, and they volunteered.

Do you consider us sinners?
