How do ((( YOU ))) think these two scriptures relate to each other?
Matthew 7:6 about not throwing your pearls before swine, and....
Matthew 5:43-48 from the sermon on the mount, about how God commands us to love our enemies
i see and have experienced this..... if you don't love your enemy you can find yourself angry enough with him or her and become consumed with anger to the point of madness and want to seek revenge in one form, fashion, way, or other. therefore if you keep throwing your pearls towards swine and the swine are constantly trolling at you and throwing your pearls to the dogs who join in the feast , you can again fall into the same trap, with them stealing joy therefore stealing your strength (aw, yet another scripture from i believe the Psalms...related to this subject, as they are no doubt many more feel free to throw them out there).
Does anyone else see this?
What else do you see between the two that are related?

Throwing pearls before swine, I'm guilty of very much. That pertains to the translations of scriptures from what they truly mean when one is taught by the spirit from those taught by men.
I share much of what I've learned of scripture which is backwards from what men are taught through worldly religions. I've been called evil, the Satan, antichrist and much worse. That is the rendering mentioned at the back of the scripture. Yet, their remarks roll off me like water off a ducks back. So then since they treat me like an enemy, in which they truly aren't per say, I feel compassion for them for I know that are being mislead by the Father of all liers, Satan. Our enemies as represented in the bible refers to all those who follow men and shall judge your spirit learned truth by the truths they've learned through man. So, if the scriptures above fit your description of what they mean to you, and you sense that the meaning has been verified for you through a loving spirit and not one connected to the world of man, then that explanation is right for you.
God has many truths, just as the world has many religions. Yet, Gods truths bring together those who truly follow him without question, while the worldly religions tear apart and divide, families, countries and friends of religions who are separated through rituals and beliefs, that harbor, deceit, pride, anger, revenge and judgment, and lets don't forget, financial gain, which many believe is a sign from God, that they are living righteously, which is not at all in line with what Jesus taught.
Remember, Jesus walked away from the world, he didn't run to it. So did his disciples, they left their jobs and all they had before Jesus came into their life and preached truth, which somehow got turned around by the world they tried to teach.
Let's put it this way. The truth they taught was hated by the world, and I can say this with all truth that it is not what the churches are teaching today. The truth is still out there through the Father. And for all who have that truth, they are silent. The truth I share is not taught in any churches of man. And if I were to go to any church and speak of what I've learned, they would surely render me out of their congregation. I would be considred their enemy, and how kind do you think they would be of me not accepting their interpretation of scriptures from any bible around the world? Not very kindly and that's called hypocrisy.

The terms "dogs" and "pigs" are among the most deragatory in the Jewish vocabulary. Although at times the terms can mean "Gentiles" (see Matthew 15:26), it seems it is improbable that the focus of Jesus was on an individual group or groups in Matthew 7. Most likely the dangers envisioned refers to the hostility from anyone who lacks receptivity (see Matthew 10:13,14). Those who lack the ability to appreciate the intinsic value of the gospel often respond with vicious scorn and hardened contempt. Although we can never know in advance what the reaction of others may be as we bring the good news into all the world, as we grow the disciple must become keenly sensitive to when it is time to dust off ones feet and move on to an environment that is more receptive to the gospel of free grace (see Matthew 10:16 and Acts 13:46-48).

Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Analogy: Don't preach or keep preaching salvation or God's word to those that don't want to hear it.
your pearls is the word of God, the swine represents those that don't want to hear God's word.

Matthew 5:43-48
Correcting your enemy is a form of love. But preach God's word (pearls) to those (swine) that don't want to hear it.

properly, it quite is form of a sturdy factor. i won't be able to realyl justify it devoid of throwing something else in like possibly Noah's curse replaced into succesul, b/c I have no theory if it replaced into or no longer. yet how approximately this?: Exodus 20:5 , Deuteronomy 5:9 I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, traveling the iniquity of the fathers upon the babies unto the third and fourth technology.
