How do I LOVE & BLESS my enemy? I found the Greek word for bless...it's pretty much self-explainitory. The Greek word for "bless" is "eulogeo" (eulogeo), "to speak well of." It also means "to praise, to extol". Similarly, the word for "blessing" is "eulogia" (eulogia), which literally means "well-speaking."
By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.' " All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.

@Pablo113 No, I mean Jesus as a diamond, because He is not one-dimensional. There are many different facets to His personality and different ways He interacted with people. In the book of Mark, it is pretty much only what He said and did publicly that is told. In the book of John, we have the intimate moments that were just between Jesus and His disciples.
@HarmonyinJesus, if you were to take a step back and see Jesus as a FICTIONAL CHARACTER, you would have a whole new view. Instead, you were taught...aka...brainwashed that he was a real person. If you were taught that Winnie the Pooh was real, you would be worshipping him today.
@Pablo113 I went through my massively skeptical stage, as the vast majority of Christians do. I did my homework into the case for Jesus Christ being a true historical figure. I made up my mind for myself. Please don't insult my intelligence. Jesus Christ really did walk this earth, really did die on a cross, and really did rise from the dead. Ask someone who specializes in the history of 1st century palestine if there is any doubt to that fact. You know how to use google, so do your homework.
@HarmonyinJesus, I did my homework too and came to the exact opposite conclusion! Maybe there was a Jesus character, but the character in the Gospels is FICTION. If he was a god, he woulda know that there was no such thing as Original Sin, therefore no need to die on a cross. Darwin nipped that dumb idea in the bud in 1859.
@HarmonyinJesus, It make alot more sense than some Jewish ding-a-ling dying on a cross as a sacrifice to his dad for our non existant Original sin. Basically, Yehweh is a volcano god. We need to sacrifice sheep, goats, cows, and finally virgins to him to appease his anger! PLEASE, your all living in the BRONZE age. Jesus is your LORD? What the hell does that mean, there hasn't been any Lords since Medieval times.
@Pablo113 I see you're still up to your atheistic antagonism! Let me ask you something Pablo...if there is no sin, then why do people die? That may sound like a stupid question, but its an honest one. Explain to me, in whatever scientific jargon you want, why it is people die? Here's another one for you..Why is there so much suffering in the world? Is it just an evolutionary order of events? Sin is the answer, but I know you'll not take that so easily.
@Eric0873,Not antagonism. I am trying to help you 12th Century Ding-a-lings open your eyes. We create gods with our Brain.
We DIE because we are ANIMALS, and all animals have a life cycle. Birth, Adult-hood, old age and death. The cycle of life. Nothing more, we AIN'T SPECIAL. just another animal on the planet. Jesus and Yahweh are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS in a 1st comic book.
@Pablo113 Why is it that you feel you need to convince others of your beliefs. Do you have a monopoly on truth? NO. No one is listening to you. Nor should they. You are demonstrating your foolish pride, and no one here is buying what you are selling.
@powderhunter127, and you are demonstrating your ignorance for the truth. Jesus is a fictional character, just like Spiderman, Luke Skywalker and Capt America.
@Pablo113 Do you know if that were the case, Christianity would have never spread and you wouldn't have to worry about it? The Resurrection is proved simply b/c Christianity did indeed spread and God's word is completely historically accurate, inerrant, infallible and Holy Spirit inspired. But I know you won't believe any of that due to your atheistic mentality. Its ok though...just make sure that you are right.
@Eric0873, It spread across Europe from Rome and Palestine via the sword and the gun. Then caught a boat to the New World. If Islam caught that boat, you'd all be MUSLIMS NOW. Get over your ARROGANCE.
@Pablo113 But we're not Muslims...so get over that too. I can see you really don't like dealing with Christians, but please understand that we, as believers in Jesus, just don't want you ending up in Hell. BTW, its not our arrogance...its the message which comes from God through His Word. I just happen to stand by it no matter the cost.
@Pablo113 No, I clearly know what you are saying throughout these ramblings while holding your eyes shut to see that God does exist and His promises are true. You, along with every other atheist, don't WANT God to exist, yet He does. That is beyond your control and mine. I've decided to submit to Him and repent of my sins and put my faith and trust in the sufficient work of the Cross, the cleansing blood of Christ and the Grace of God. You seriously need to humble yourself sir...I'm done!
@Eric0873, Your done? HARDDDDDLYyyy! What evidence do you have for your imaginary friends existance? And which god are you referring to? Zeus, Posiden, Apollo, Oden, Yahweh? "The cleansing Blood"? I didn't know blood was a cleanser? Is that kinda like bleach or ammonia or soap? I gather Yahweh need blood, therefore he is a VOLCANO God.
@Pablo113 I'm referring to the God of the Bible, The Creator of this universe. He has many names, but He is the One to whom you will give an account for your life. He is the One who knows everything about you b/c He created you...after His image and likeness. You have misrepresented Him in your sins and must be held accountable for them, unless you would repent and put your trust in Jesus. You have the evidence you need, you're just too pride-filled to know it. Let go of your pride sir.
@Eric0873, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SIN. Your God is a VOLCANO God! Get it? Why dont you sacrifice your virgin daughter to it? It appease him...Yahweh! Your stuck in the STONE AGE. Look at Jesus as FICTION, and your eyes will OPEN.
@Pablo113: You look at Jesus as fiction b/c it "allows" you your own autonomy. You only want to live your life any way you want w/o the consequences that come from the One who instated those laws. It really takes an insurmountable amount of railing against God to go on living an atheistic lifestyle. I can tell you're so angry for that reason. Please don't let your anger and pride get the best of you man! I really don't want you dying in the current state you're in.
@Eric0873, I look at the God of the bible because I did the research and found out he is FICTION. You are the one implying that the god of the bible 'instated those laws", actually written by men, Just like "Winnie the Pooh" or "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" were written by men.
I dont believe in Heaven or Hell or Jesus or Yahweh....you do! So, I dont need their permission to live the way I want to.
@Pablo113: Your belief/lack of belief doesn't qualify or negate the existence of anything. Nor does it remove you from the responsibility of the standards that are in place for your own good. And I didn't say you needed His "permission" to live the way you want...you give that "permission" to yourself by proxy when you deny God's existence. You're in complete, willful rebellion to Him right now. BTW, the theory of evolution was written by men. Doesn't Atheism "exalt" men as masters of destiny?
@surshot56 Yes, I'm serious by saying that. I know...you're thinking; "Isn't the Bible written by men??" Yes, the Bible was indeed penned by men, but inspired by God through those men to communicate His thoughts to us. The theory of evolution is a baseless theory posed by men who just do not want God to exist.
@Pablo113 There's no way I can explain or change your view on anything in the limited space of youtube comments. I'm sure I probably couldn't even do it if we sat down for a face to face chat. Nothing but a real encounter with God will change someone with that kind of point of view.
And people say christianity starts wars?? But yet jesus says love your enemies...There would'nt be wars if someone as a christian would love his Enemie
@dannybammy Impossible... no. All things are possible with God. But it takes time and tears, and lots of repenting, and lots of time spent with Jesus through His Word and prayer. I'll never claim to have achieved it, but it's something I long for.
@dannybammy It should be every Christian's goal to become like Christ... which by the way is what the word "Christian" means. "Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church." Ephesians 4:15
@99minerkc if by "Jesus writings", you mean what he said, I would say look at the first 4 gospels of the bible, matthew, mark, luke, and john. If you mean the actual texts containing his words, you would need to ask an archeologist or a historian. but most of widest used english translations of the bible were translated from the oldest manuscripts we have.
@Bongobutt123 , I mean just what I said. I'm interested in what Jesus wrote! For example it's believed that Paul was the author of many of the books in the NT. If Jesus was the divine son of gos surely he must have been the author of at least one book!
This so you don't suffer. If you forgive them you harbor no hate and are not angry and are therefore at peace. It's healthier for you, IGNORE it!!
Unless of course they are kicking in your door then blow the shit out of them. Self defense is a God given right!!!
It's like Karate: it's for self defense only, be humble, don't provoke stay calm and focused....But...if you have no choice...break their neck!
