Over the past few weeks, we have looked at why we desire enemies. We looked at why Christians don’t have enemies. We looked at the objections to that statement. We looked at why the distinction Jesus made matters so much. But there is one more objection to these statements that we need to address. What about the enemies Paul mentions in Philippians 3:18?

Christians dont have enemies, we have neighbors. This is the most misunderstood teaching of Jesus coming out of Matthew 5. Because the call to love our enemies is actually a call to see them as neighbors instead.

Luke 22:36 is commonly used to defend the use of weapons for Christians, but what if Luke 22 actually refutes that claim altogether?

Swords or Plows? What does Isaiah 2 & Micah 4 teach us about Jesus, Scripture, and love of others?
