Do you think all people should be loved?

Even those who have not known it, and are the ones everyone says should be condemned? For example, someone who has done something horrible. Should they be loved?

I do. It's the only way to undo evil. Take the momentum out of it. It's the only way we can elevate ourselves above it.

@CopperCicada I agree. Even if that person has done the unthinkable, they are still a person. Hate will solve nothing.

@Virescent well. there is the aspect of "solving" things. but the other aspect is just a choice of what we want to be.

@Virescent hate of a person is never a good and to love all people is what we are called to do .. I have struggled with this myself and I try to my utmost to love person but not their sins which is entirely appropriate. Where I struggle greatly is in loving a person who wilfully continues in hurting people and doing wrong things, especially serious wrongs and with no remorse and when I they aren't likely to ever have remorse. Sadly yes, I've met such people. I'm very grateful that I've not met but handful in my life so who I concluded are quite possibly given over to actual evil .. try first & always to love ALL people is the rule and be careful to use discernment with people
