A person can better know the true meanings of Bible verses by reciting the rosary of the Virgin Mary every day with care and sincerity. Mary is the mother of all of us and the perfect disciple of Jesus Christ!

It means what it says and it says what it means. Maybe there's a little hyperbole in there, but we really are supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves.

This is difficult but not impossible. Loving an enemy does not mean liking all his ways or his deeds.
The Greek word found in Matthew’s account is derived from a·gaʹpe, which describes a love that acts in harmony with principle.
The person who manifests a·gaʹpe, principled love, does good even to an enemy who hates and mistreats him.
Why? Because it is the way to imitate Christ, and it is the way to conquer hatred.

It's a myth . the first couple of times i read all thru it was compelling . Further research into Saint Paul made me conclude Christianity is a myth and Paul was a creation along the Piso Flavian Meme.
The Christian myth has been broadsided to junk status due to the internet information age . Attrition has turned into a steady flow . Please ignore opinion if religious bagonuts and enjoy your imaginary friend and cult

God expects His Elect to engage in a behavior that is unlike that of the worlds. It may not always happen yet God still wants and expects better for and from His own.
