Loving Your Neighbor

[Romanos]

What does that mean to you?

 

[MennoSota]

Stand against injustice anywhere while calling people everywhere to reconcile with God.

 

[Imalive]

Pray they get saved. 1 Timothy

 

[psalms 91]

It means being uncomfortable, serving others, doing what we can to help others

 

[popsthebuilder]

I think love your neighbor as yourself means to treat them the same manner you treat yourself. If you need something you most likely go about getting it in some fashion. If another is in need then there need should be regarded as equal in significance or need to your own needs (not wants). I think we are to help in any readily conceivable fashion we can when we observe genuine need from any, especially the elderly, widowed, and most assuredly; children. In these cases I would say that placing their needs over yours would be the good thing to do, as they generally lack the capacity you do, to get those necessities, whatever they may be.

I genuinely think we as Christians are to set aside our wants of self (and in cases; even needs) for the sake of all, and to the glory of GOD.

I understand that many may not agree, and do not wish to debate about it.

You can send all your money to MennoSota in care of the Good Neighbor fund.

Wow.... How very passive aggressive of you. I made it clear I didn't want to discuss it, or works. I don't have money and can barely work.

Why even start a conversation if you don't desire to discuss it?
Second, did you miss the sarcasm?

I am glad God is with you and promises to meet all your needs. I'm sure God has provided many resources and services in your area to help you. Thank God for his provision and his kindness to you.
Peace

Apparently he hates plants and loves poison. Be a good neighbour and poison his plants too.

 

[Imalive]

I love my neighbour so much, I'm gonna buy her earplugs for Christmas.

That made me laugh

The Bible says you are to love them. It doesn't say you have to like them.

 

[Imalive]

Throw em in jail so they can convert there.

[NewCreation435]

It means that when I love my neighbor I am living in the light of God's love and reflecting that I know Him.

9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. 1 John 2:9-11, NIV

Can I love them like friend imalive suggested - by giving their plants poison because their actions suggest that is what they love to do?
