Who is my enemy? I should harbor hostility toward no man.

"Our enemies are those who harbor hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility...As a Christian I am called to treat my enemy as a brother and to meet hostility with love. My behavior is thus determined not by the way others treat me, but by the treatment I receive from Jesus."

--Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"One reason that the world finds the New Testament's message of peacemaking and love of enemies incredible is that the church is so massively faithless. On the question of violence, the church is deeply compromised and committed to nationalism, violence, and idolatry."

--Richard B. Hays
