Fantasy, you can’t help me because the passage you gave doesn’t command anyone to hate their enemies, does it?
Originally, you said Jesus superseded OT morality, especially when it comes to enemies, and quoted Mt. 5.43, where Jesus said, “Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy” (a command)
I said, “I dont believe the OT ever told anyone to hate their enemy. Do you have a passage in mind?”
You did have one in mind, Ps. 139, which I couldn’t see where anyone was told to hate their enemy. When I asked you who was told to hate their enemy, evidently realizing no one was, you said you couldn’t help me.
We are agreed that Ps. 139 doesn’t tell anyone to hate their enemy, don’t we?
David was a man after God’s own heart. Nowhere in Scripture are we told to beware of the Psalms because they contain sinful passages. The point being that under OT morality King David was perfectly within his rights to hate people.
Jesus did away with that option. We are now inescapably commanded to love our enemies. No exceptions, no wiggle room.
You might also look into the “new commandment,” Jesus gave us. It is a vast step up from the Golden Rule.
