Matt 5:43-46 (all references are in the Amplified Bible Version)

You have heard that it was said, you shall LOVE your neighbor and hate [Greek: the word is MISEO, usually implying active ill-will in words and conduct, or a persecuting spirit. (inantithesis to AGAPEO) to love less, not to love, to slight.] your enemy;

But I tell you. LOVE YOUR ENEMY and pray for those who persecute you, to show that you are the children of your father who is in heaven; for he makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers alike). For if you LOVE those who LOVE you, what reward can you have? Do not even the tax collectors do that? 

Matt 5:43-46 LOVE in all four places is AGAPEO; to regard, esteem, (the principle of internal feeling of delectation and kindness) to acquiesce with satisfaction, to cherish with

reverence, to LOVE, considered in reference to the tendency of the will, elsewhere translated Beloved.

Enemy (Echthros) hated, odious, object of enmity, (opposite of Agapao-beloved) actively, opposite to, hating another and adverse to him: as an enemy, adversary

This exact same word is used in Matt 13:25,39 where there is no argument that this is referring to the devil.

v. 25: But while he was sleeping, his ENEMY came and sowed also darnel [black, wild wheat] among the wheat, and went his way. v. 39a: And the enemy who sowed it is the devil.........

Again, we see in Luke 6:27 and 35 the following: But I say to you who are listening now to me, (in order to heed, make it a practice to) LOVE YOUR ENEMIES; treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred. But LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, be kind and do good -doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them; and lend expecting and hoping for nothing in return, but considering

as lost, and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great-rich, strong, intense, and abundant and you will be SONS (HUIOS-meaning mature, full grown) of the MOST HIGH; for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked. So be merciful-sympathetic, tender, responsive and compassionate even as your Father is all these. 

Same LOVE, ENEMY as used in previous verses. Luke 10: 18-20 leave little doubt as to whom is being called your enemy (same word as used previously):  and He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lighting flash from heaven. Behold, I have given you power and authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and (physical and mental strength and ability) over all the power that the ENEMY [possesses], and nothing shall in any way harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven. SAME word for ENEMY used here as previously. 

Great confusion arises when two things occur:

1) When we fail to recognize the fact that Jesus Christ set us free from the external meaning of the things of the Old Testament, (The statement that " We are to observe the

laws of Moses by the grace of Jesus Christ " is one of the greatest lies that has ever been sold to mankind; just because we have heard it preached from every pulpit in the land for centuries does not make it true - its origin comes from the pits of hell itself); and

2) Perhaps, even more importantly, (if it were possible) is that we think of a person or persons as being evil rather than realizing that EVIL IS A CONDITION OR STATE OF BEING.

Romans 12:9 says: Let your LOVE (agapeo) be sincere--a real thing; hate what is EVIL (Poneros-causing or having labour, sorrow, or pain, malignant) (loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness), but hold fast to that which is good.

 Luke 6:44, 45 says: For each tree is known and identified by its own fruit; for figs are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor is a cluster of grapes picked from a bramblebush. The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure (stored) in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good); and the EVIL man out of

the EVIL storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically EVIL), for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart the mouth speaks.

EVIL is the same word again, Poneros-causing or having labour, sorrow, or pain, malignant. 

A quick look at the word WICKED or WICKEDNESS is also very interesting. We find the same word used here as for EVIL; Poneros- Spirits are said to be in this condition in Matt: 12:45, Luke11:26, and again used of the entire realm of deception in Eph 6:12.

Matt 12:45 Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they go in and make their home there and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. So also shall it be with this wicked generation.

Luke 11:26 and he goes and brings other spirits, seven (of them), more EVIL than himself, and they enter in and settle down, and dwell there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first.

Eph 6:12 For we are not wrestling against flesh and blood-- contending only with the physical opponents-but against the despotism’s, against the powers, against (the master spirits who are) the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

It is also used to describe men in Luke 19:22, Acts 18:14, Col 1:21, and 2 Thess 3:2.

Luke 19:22 He said to the servant, I will judge and condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked slave! You knew (did you), that I was a stern (hard, severe) man, picking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

Acts 18:14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth to reply, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of some misdemeanor or villainy (wickedness), O Jews, I should have cause to hear with you and listen.

Col 1:21 And although you at one time were estranged and alienated from Him and of hostile attitude of mind in your wicked activities.

2 Thess 3:2 And that we may be delivered from perverse (improper, unrighteous) and wicked (actively malicious) men, for not everybody has faith and is held by it.

Romans 12:14 says: Bless those who persecute you-who are cruel in their attitude toward you; bless and do not curse them. Verse 17 reads: Repay no one EVIL for EVIL, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble-aiming to be above reproach-in the sight of every one.

Verse 20: But, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; it he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. Do not let yourself be overcome by EVIL, but overcome evil with good.

Again, we know that good is a condition. It only makes logical and good sense that we replace one condition with another, GOOD for EVIL, light for darkness, knowledge for ignorance, understanding for deception, etc...

 Finally, lets take a look at Jude 9:

But when even the archangel Michael, contending with the Devil, judicially argued (disputed) about the body of Moses, he dared not (presume to) bring an abusive condemnation against him, but simply said, The Lord rebuke you!

Please understand something, I am NOT, and I repeat NOT saying that we should worship the Devil. I am saying that the word says we are not to hate our enemies, but to love them. If I feed hate to something that thrives on hate, am I not nourishing it and sustaining it? That is the very last thing that I want to do.

The word says in Rom 12:20 that if I express love, I will be heaping coals upon the heads of all my enemies... seems to me as if that is our objective, like our older Brother, to put

all our enemies under our feet-EXPERIENTIALLY.

DO WE THEREFORE EXTEND HATRED FOR THE WICKED AND EVIL

CONDITION OF THINGS, AT THE DEVIL, WHO IS THE FATHER OF ALL

THESE THINGS; OR DO WE EXTEND LOVE (THE ULTIMATE WEAPON)

TOWARD THE ENTIRE REALM OF DECEPTION, THEREBY ALLOWING

NOTHING IN THAT REALM TO GET A FOOTHOLD ON US AND RENDER US

SOMETHING LESS THAN TOTALLY EFFECTIVE IN ALL THAT WE SAY AND

DO?

ALLOW ME TO REMIND YOU OF ONE THING. THE SCRIPTURE USES THE

 

SAME WORD FOR ENEMY TO DESCRIBE BOTH MEN AND THE SPIRITUAL

WORLD OF DECEPTION.

THE CONDITIONS OF WICKEDNESS AND EVIL ARE ALSO THE SAME

WORD. THAT IS SOMETHING WE MUST EMBRACE WHETHER IT FITS OUR

THEOLOGY OR NOT.

I LEAVE YOU WITH THE DECISION, ............. DO WE LEARN HOW

TO USE THE ULTIMATE WEAPON OR DON'T WE ...................?

Romans 12:2b says that we are TRANSFIGURED ( exactly the same word used here as is used of Jesus on the mount of Transfiguration ) by the renewing of our minds, that means by the way that we think or our perception of things.

A word of caution: The mind is the great battle ground that the war is fought in. Be careful not to let the Spirit of Deception come and steal the truth away from you with arguments like, This is too radical, or I've never heard this before so it can't be true, or I was never taught anything like this in my church. In this great day of the Lord that

we are walking in, God is causing us ( those of us who have a deep desire to know who God is, not just about Him ) to HAVE to learn how to separate between religion ( the teachings or interpretations of the scriptures by the natural mind or intellect) and the true nature and character of God as revealed by what the WORD really says about HIM, not what we have been told it says by well meaning individuals. Unfortunately, these are those who have stood in the pulpits of America and merely repeated what they have been taught, never having researched it for themselves to see if it were really true. I do not say this with condemnation toward these individuals, only as a statement of fact.

This is not a slam against the few men who are pastors in these United States who are not satisfied to be status quo, but would dig for the truth, even if it is not popular. 

EACH OF US MUST BE AT PEACE WITHIN OUR OWN BEING WITH THE

MASTER OF ALL LIGHTS, THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OF TRUTH, THE MOST

HIGH GOD, DAD.
