A Dangerous Hermeneutic

It is about ideology. And we know this ideology is in a certain group. Yes, not everyone in that group is of a certain imperialist ideology...but it appears doesn't it that all the bombings and mayhem are being done by one identifiable group. Are the perpetrators Lithuanian, or Japanese, or Russian? Are they baptists, lutheran, catholic? And you didn't say whether you would invite anyone into your household. Should I say because you don't open up your home to everyone that comes by---not just the people you prefer---that you are not following Christ? Christ said many things. Yes, love your neighbor...but as I said certain inclusive actions might in fact be not showing love to your neighbor or your children. And doesn't Jesus also say other things beside 'love your neighbor'...something like 'what fellowship has Christ with Belial?' This is what I mean about taking one favorite verse and making it the whole. That is what I mean about dangerous hermeneutics.
