Bible Note: God's day to you, keliy, Matthew 5:1 says There were crowds ... and He began the Sermon on the Mount. There may have been Pharisees, I doubt it based on verse 20 "For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven" ... This is the 5th "You have heard ... but I say to you." Dealing with love/hate. Verse 48 should never be taken out of context, as with any other verse. God's love is perfect is because He loves His enemies. Searcher |
