Matthew 5:43-45
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons 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.”

Sometimes we are and sometimes we aren't. We are human and can only try, and then try again. I do pray for everyone though.
May God Bless you.

Matthew 4:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
We are being perfected by tribulation, and as we are perfected, as Christ is doing his work in us, we are becoming more like him, so I would say that those who know and love him are doing his will, yes. We are judged by no man.

well its saying to love your enemies and your friends. best out comes will come out even when some intends evil towards you.(sends rain on the rightious and the unrightious). meaning you will be put though trials whether or not you serve him or not. prayer is the outcome for it all.

I have done and will do it! Baseball player, did you know that all sequences in the old testament leads up to the birth of Christ, the one who quoted this. God knows his enemies and that is why we should not judge. We should let God separate the ones who love him and the ones who don't.

This is something that I suspect is very hard for many people to do. The best I can say is this: Try not to judge, unless you've walked in that person's shoes.

that's what I do. people will make the mistake of being mean again which will ultimately make them sadder. And if you lash out at anyone who is mean, they will be mean back, and therefore they've lost their sense of who was mean or caused this and will not look at themselves as mean, but defending themselves, so make a person think and feel bad instead of arguing.

Do U not remember that God send HIS people to destroy thier enemies because they believed differently and Or they had pagan gods.
U need to read the old testament real good first.

yup. Its true. If you pray for your enemy, its way more pleasurable. instead of getting back at them, and you smile at them, it kills them. Its a good passage.

Just be kind to everyone, and tolerate as much as you feel is reasonable from your enemies before you smite them
