[QUOTE="1213, post: 6003978, member: 63370"]I don’t think you know Jesus and his teachings well, if you say so. But in this case, please show one example of another person who says “love your enemy”?[/QUOTE]
Who might it be who has not bothered to study,
or even play google for less than five minutes?
But, supposing that I scour the world, and cannot
find one example?
Is "love your enemy" the sum total of what makes
"Jesus" so special?
i need not scour the world, and, your
request for one example is easily met.
Here, your cup floweth over.
"Do not return evil to your adversary; Requite with kindness the one who does evil to you, Maintain justice for your enemy."
(the Akkadian "Counsels of Wisdom", circa 2000 BC)
"In this world hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, ancient and inexhaustible."
(The Dhammapada)
"Return love for hatred. Otherwise, when a great hatred is reconciled, some of it will surely remain. How can this end in goodness? "
(Taoist "T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien", circa 200 BC
Of course, KJV is not phrased as in Aramaic, and
nobody actually knows the exact words that
"Jesus" said.
You going to try to quibble that the examples are
not the EXACT same words?
