Should I love.... this Neighbor.... ?
(Jude 1:3-4) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
(Jud 1:4) For there are = certain men = crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, = turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, = and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
WE.... are not Commanded... TO LOVE... EVERYONE.... Especially.... The Enemies of GOD.....WHO... would ruin the TRUTH.... With.... LIES....!
Thanks, RR

Well asked......In my opinion, whosoever believes in humanity and the existence of God and have a pure heart, that truthful person will surely have this capability of loving his/her neighbor.
God Bless!

Only with Christ in us...The Holy Spirit helps us to be more and more Christlike. Humans are incapable of living every second of every day of their lives in righteousness...it's why we need Jesus Christ as our Savior. It was the purpose of the Law (Commandments) of God...to train us to know we are sinners in need of God's mercy because we always break the law even when we don't want to.
But with Christ in us, we can do better each day, and hopefully bear fruit because of His love in us.
Take Care and God Bless!

No doubt. My neighbors are as God meant by neighbors. Everyone residing around His Creation: Earth.

Pffft, I love my neighbor *more* than myself. Like, when I'm over at Max's house (he lives nextdoor), I'm very careful not to make a mess. But when I'm home, I just throw **** everywhere. Sometimes I rub motor oil on the carpet, just for kicks and giggles.

If we weren't, God wouldn't have told us to. He didn't say "Try your best to love your neighbor as you love yourself. You won't be able to, but try anyway." He said do it.

Yes it is the desire to do so and how driven one is to learn a different kind of love... A love that takes lots of time and energy emotionally to absorb... Clearly achievable beyond any doubt...

Some days I have a hard time loving myself.
However, I have no trouble loving others and seeing them as God sees them.

Because I have the Lord, I am capable, even if I don't always.
