We can’t just be hating people without reason
Jesus doesn’t say anything about “setting them on the right path” he’s coming out and telling us to love them
That would contradict his previous teachings though. It would be more logical if he's implying to help people accept him, not love people who seek to destroy you and hate your God.
What previous teachings
Revelations 2:8-9
Wtf
Is he saying go out and expel them from their homes in that?
@Morte hi
hippity hoppity I smell heresy
What part do you not get of synagogue of Satan
What part of that says expel them from their homes if they don’t convert to my teachings
We should either
A. Help them
B. If they reject help, oppose them
They don’t literally worship Satan
That’s ridiculous
@Honey Beanger it's called common sense
We should obviously oppose something that is implied as satanic
whats the verse your talking about again @Deleted User
Revelation 2:8-9
**Revelation 2:8-9 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
The Message to Smyrna
<8> "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the first and the last, who was dead and came to life: <9> "I know your affliction and your poverty, even though you are rich. I know the slander on the part of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ```
But they aren’t satanic
that seems to say those who claim to be Jews but aren't actually are satanists
do you have the context around it?
Doesn’t matter what it says
Also revelations doesn’t come before Matthew so Jesus isn’t contradicting his prior teachings by saying to love your enemies
Jews aren’t satanic
Lol
Jews don’t worship satan
XD
Satanic is also synonymous with evil, wicked, diabolical, etc.
Lol
Not really though
Yes really
It specifically entails relation to the devil
Otherwise it’s just evil
Ok
Let’s concede that it means Jews are evil
Still
You’d have to prove that
Because that just sounds like antisemetic hogwash
Not to be rude (as much as that’s possible) but just because a 2,000 year old book says to hate a certain group,maybe that’s a tad outdated
Or just wrong
