Re: Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner?

Once again:
Matthew 5
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Luke 6:46 "But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?"
That's all I have to add to this conversation.
Zone, I have a link for you to listen to if you are willing to listen to another interpretation on those passages.

ummm....okay, thanks.
but i didn't interpret anything. i just posted Scripture.
i find it interesting that people always leave out the context of the following:
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself"
Luke 10
25And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he [the lawyer] answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
my question would be for any who think they are FULFILLING those two great commandments, how's it working for you?
can't we see by the context Jesus is using THE LAW to prove to the lawyer who TEMPTED Him that NO ONE can be declared righteous under THE LAW since NO ONE can keep them? anyone who says they have or do keep those two commandments SEAMLESSLY is not being honest. Only Jesus was able.
even after we are saved we WANT to....but we can NOT. the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak (Romans).
