To me belongeth vengeance and recompence
In Rom 12:19 Paul quotes the words of Deuteronomy 32:35
If you read the whole chapter, you will see that Israel had acted lawlessly and they sacrificed unto devils, not to God.
At this particularly trying moment, God said "To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; ..."
So what does that means? Is it your proof that we should love antichrists, witch, murderer, burglar, rapist... and other villains or what? Those who shows no remorse for their crime and happy when can hurt me.
What do you mean? Should I be grateful them that they want to hurt me?
If I'm a victim of a crime I can't go to court?
And are you trying to say that if criminals want to take my shirt, I must hand over them coat as well?
And do you think I should be thankful to criminals for I have been the victim of crime?
You think this is what Paul was talking about?
This is another proof of we should live by law of God and should be trying to do the Lord's will.
Otherwise, God will say "To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; ..." again.
Jeremiah 22:3 "Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.".
Jeremiah 22:26 "He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Is not this to know me? says the Lord.".
They hate us because of God. Why in God's name should I love them ?
