Them, too

The Words of 
Jesus the Christ,
the Son of God:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.-Matthew 5:43-48***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Noah the ark builder and Job in Uz were perfect, being complete and sound in their desire towards the Lord God. Noah was a cultivator of soil and a preacher. Job was wealthy and suffered through a series of calamities. Noah and Job descended from Adam and Eve. The Lord God created Adam, the first man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground. The Lord God made Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Adam and Eve's son Seth was the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of Noah. Noah's son Shem was the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of Terah. Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were Terah's children. When Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90, their only child Isaac was born. When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Abraham and Sarah's great-niece Rebekah. When Isaac was 60 years old, Isaac and Rebekah's only children, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born. Decades thereafter, Jacob married Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin were the 12 sons born to Jacob, his wives, and maidservants Bilhah and Zilpah. Dinah was the daughter born to Jacob and Leah. Over 1,900 years after Judah and his siblings were born, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and Jesus went to Galilee. Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Job, Ezekiel 14:1-23, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Hebrews 11:1-40, James 5:1-20, 1 Peter 3:1-22, 2 Peter 2:1-22

Reference Scriptures:
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.-Leviticus 19:18

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.--Luke 6:27-28...For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what than have ye? for sinners also do even the same.-Luke 6:32-33
