Why is it important to define 'enemy'? One can consider his colleague as enemy because he spreads hearsay; another one considers as enemy that guy who bullied his in school; someone else considers his neighbor as enemy because he has some other ethnicity.

It doesn't matter what one describes as enemy. Do you have one? (Whatever it means for you). Love him.

I have a question. Can God create a perfect world if he decides to do so?

Define "perfect."

In Scripture, perfect means complete for the purpose it was created.

God is love (1 John 4:8) - and he purposed for us to love Him and each other. However, the quality of love we were created with was part of being in 'God's image" (Genesis 1:26) which involves free will.

Jehovah wanted us to love Him (Matthew 22:37-40). But this type of love involves free will. Jehovah took a risk in creating Adam and Eve with the capacity to love as He loves. Of course, Jehovah could have created robots programmed to show love to Him - however Jehovah could not do this because He is love which involves free will. Put simply, Jehovah did not want his creations to love him automatically or by program - he wanted us to have a choice. Was it worth the risk?

To illustrate: Would you want someone to love you without choice? For example, when you look for someone to love and show love you hope they will love you back. It may be that a number of those do not choose to love you back, or love you less than you love them. But when you find someone that chooses to love you back - wasn't it worth the risk? Jehovah has found people who truly love him back - by choice, because they want to - not because they were programmed to,

Define perfect? What for? It will be my subjective meaning of perfect.

Lets imagine. Once upon a time, God decided to create a perfect world. Whatever it means in his 'imagination'. Is he capable to do so?

I meant what the Bible is referring to as "perfect."

Look around.

This is the best of all possible worlds, because it is the only possible world.

Heaven is a good analogy.

This is irrefutable.

DL

Damn it! Why are you all referring to our world? I didn't mean our world, I consider our world to be an excellent place.

Forget about our world, forget about what you personally think to be perfect. There is nothing. And now God decides to create a perfect world. 'Perfect' in his 'imagination' and no one can actually describe what this means. But he wants it to be 'perfect', what he decides it to be.

Now, a question. Is God capable to create such a world?

If you think that God owns such feature as omniscience, then don't bother to answer the question. My question was aimed at a particular poster.

No, God is not omniscient as Genesis 6:6 reveals.

And God will soon destroy those ruining the earth as foretold in Revelation 11:18 - after that the earth will be populated by a perfect world.

Btw - what definition of "world" are you referring to?

1 John 2:15-17
Do not love either the world or the things in the world.+ If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him;+ 16 because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh+ and the desire of the eyes+ and the showy display of one’s means of life*—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. 17 Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire,+ but the one who does the will of God remains forever.+

Ask away Esay - I love researching the answers to Bible questions!

I will start by noting that Jesus referred to Deuteronomy 6:4,5 as the greatest commandment in the Bible - to love Jehovah will all our heart, mind, soul and strength. And the second greatest commandment according to Jesus is from Leviticus 19:18 - to love our neighbor/fellow man.

See Mark 12:28-34; Matthew 22:37-40.

Mark 12:28-34
One of the scribes who had come up and heard them disputing, knowing that he had answered them in a fine way, asked him: “Which commandment is first* of all?”+ 29 Jesus answered: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah, 30 and you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength.’+ 31 The second is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’+ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 The scribe said to him: “Teacher, you spoke well, in line with truth, ‘He is One, and there is no other besides him’;+ 33 and to love him with one’s whole heart, with one’s whole understanding, and with one’s whole strength and to love one’s neighbor as oneself is worth far more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”+ 34 At this Jesus, discerning that he had answered intelligently, said to him: “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” But no one had the courage to question him anymore.+

 

[ESay]

And God will soon destroy those ruining the earth as foretold in Revelation 11:18 - after that the earth will be populated by a perfect world.

Foretold? By whom? If there is no one who knows the future for sure, then what is the use of prophets and prophecies? God doesnt know the future and can be mistaken.

You are so right about Jews in general; but Israeli’s are a different bread all together.

Israeli’s are cold blooded child murderers who will get what they sow; hopefully sooner rather than later.
