    Matthew 5:43-47 - It seems the GOP is illiterate on this topic.

    If the people who believe in quotes from a fictional book are
    supposed to "love their enemies" that must mean they should love
    Donald Trump then?

    Paul of Tarsus describes love in his first letter to the Corinthians
    as follows,

    Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not
    brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek
    its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
    does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
    bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all
    things -- (13;4--7) https://medium.com/the-liturgical-legion/confucius-and-jesus-of-nazareth-on-the-nature-of-love-eee28fcce3de

    AI Overview

    According to Confucian philosophy, the concept of "do not hate your
    neighbor" aligns with the emphasis on social harmony and treating
    others with respect, essentially advocating for a positive and
    considerate approach towards those around you, even if they are not
    close friends or family; this aligns with the idea of "reciprocity"
    where you should treat others as you would like to be treated.
