I hope the bitch suffers a long, painful, lingering death!
IF I were a Christian right about now I'd be quoting Matthew 5:9;
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Hey Jake, siding with the enemy does not make you a "peace maker"
I'm probably straying too far from the OP but this is a problem that has always intrigued me.
Like I said,
I'm not a "Christian", maybe that's why I've never been given the code that tells you how to interpret a particular verse in this or that event, or which verses you can ignore under this or that circumstance.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 12:14
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Luke 6:27
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Romans 12:19-21
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. To the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Luke 6:27-36
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
