Matthew 5:44

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Good words. They don't get much play in today's religions.


We hear them every three years in church:)

Which isn't often enough. The exception is for those who participate regularly in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

There are other good words, which are better descriptors of the real world...

Romans 12:20
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.


Or those other words to live by concerning enemies: You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

Re snakes and wolves:
LDS do have a tendency to believe that their faith can cure personality disorders.

At least it's regularly scheduled rather than when ever it strikes someones fancy.
