Maximus85:

what of churches praying for their enemies to die, die, die, fire consume? Are they christians.

As true christians, we are not suppose to have enemies cos we shouldn't hate anyone but those people hating you for the kind of godly life you are living and God's blessings in your life are the enemies we are talking about here.

So we must love them, do good to them and pray for them. Who knows...our good behaviour might prompt them to change from their bad ways.

If you read Luther's sermon carefully,you will notice that the central enemy of everyone of us is not our neighbour that we see everyday that we have squabbles with, they're not our friends who are jealous of our progress, it is not even those who physically harm us and treat us badly.

Our enemies are the systems that thrives on evil. And at the head of all these system is that old enemy of mankind. The Devil.

You will argue, but we cannot see the Devil so we can attack him bla bla bla. Yes, you can't see him, and even if you see the Devil, I am sure you will not have the power to fight him. You need Jesus to do that ''seeing'' and attacking.

So, love the ''evil man'' you can see, so that you can, perhaps, redeem him by your actions - but hate the evil system that the man is caught up in.
