Is loving your enemies a good thing ? Debate

[Massimo The Lonecel]

Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

And what exactly is loving your enemies ? Is it letting them hurt and kill you and others ? Or Is this a bad teaching ? Or am I looking at this wrong ?

There is nothing about allowing others to harm us, or to harm anyone else. And I think the "turn the other cheek" quote is often misunderstood when it's interpreted too literally. (As is true of much of scripture.) I say this because no one is being spiritually served by literally turning the other cheek to them after they have just struck us. That would only encourage their sinfulness.

jfl 'there is nothing about allowing others to harm us, except for when it literally says that. but then it shouldn't be taken literally and means something completely different, because I say so'
