I know, just want to see if Jeremiah knows.I don't know those answers to all of your questions and good questions of yours....! just know that it was Jesus speaking, who said that...maybe, just maybe Pope Frances is following what Jesus Christ TAUGHT?
Matthew 5:43-48New International Version (NIV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
not by a long shot. also----who said "love your neighbor and hate your enemy"------ you got a citation? a link?.
Who was MATTHEW ??? There are many WELL KNOWN
adages and proverbs cited CORRECTLY in the New Testament------not that one Where was it written in either Hebrew or Aramaic? I never read THAT ONE. Long ago
I got ALL the "sayings" thrown at me----week by weekNIV is a satanic translation. It isn't the Word of God. Look up the Scriptures in the King James Version Holy Bible. Otherwise you are not quoting the Word of God.rosie, I went back to get the references and next to each part of the passage they put ''letters'' with references listed below by Bible verse...maybe, just maybe Pope Frances is following what Jesus Christ TAUGHT?
