Define "love" in context of both Deuteronomy and Matthew chapter 5. (Jesus is quoting Deuteronomy BTW.) Contrast this definition with "love" as it is understood today.
Who is the "them" Jesus is referring to in this passage, by the way? Other jews? Romans? Greeks? Sub-saharan Africans? Who are the "enemies" he is referring to?
Be specific. Be historic. Pay attention to how words have changed meanings over the past 2,000 years.
What do you mean by "change"? How do you reconcile with all of the verses that say that God "repented"? Or what of when people pray and God changes his plans? Or when people repent and God forebears his promised punishments? Or when God doesn't deliver with his promised blessings?
You protestants are so weak in your theology that you fall behind trite statements that are either utterly meaningless or incomprehensible. You cite scripture as if you understand them, when it is clear you barely comprehend even a surface-level understanding of them.
