Love your enemies, Jesus said.

Jesus was accused of insurrection against Rome. Maduro is accused of causing harm to the USA. How would the Pope minister to Maduro, who is a Catholic, on the practice of Christian love?

OK, Jesus said to love your enemies. He said in Matthew 10:34 (NKJV) =
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword."

So, what is he going to do with his sword, kill his friends instead of his enemies?

You are reading the good book like an instruction manual or technical blueprint. Back in the days, working guys like you can't read at all. Scriptural writings are written in allegory. They were the works of a literary tradition of bygone days and meant for reflection.

OK, so when it talks about going to heaven it's all BS. Thanks for seeing that.

It sounds like BS but ask your pastor or priest to explain it to you. What did you do for a living? Construction?
