Anyone that actually reads the bible knows Christians should do what Jesus said: Love your enemies, bless your enemies, and pray for your enemies that they repent.
Matthew 5:44-45 & Luke 6:27-28
If they do not, He will destroy them with divine prejudice.
Matthew 7:19, Matthew 10:28, Matthew 13:41–42, Luke 19:27, John 3:36, 2 Thessalonians 1:8–9
Dude, St. John Chrysostom was not only the patriarch of Constantinople, but also one of the Church Fathers who affirmed the 27 books of the NT and helped fleshing out the canon of Scripture. I think he knows what he's talking about.
You may love your enemies, but If you love and tolerate the enemies of Christ, you're an antichristian and you're one of them basically. If what you said was true, Christians wouldn't be allowed to fight in wars, killing their enemies. Yet many Christian saints were warriors because they fought the invading muslims. According to your interpretation, they must be destroyed then, right? Not to mention the examples of the OT where God commanded Israel to wage war and slaughter their enemies. Protestants can never get this correct with their quote mining arriving to heretical positions like pacifism, marcionism and origenism. That's why there's an apostolic Church which holds the authority on interpretation of Scripture.
I'm rabbi for telling you you shouldn't love jews? Makes total sense.
Why did Jesus command His followers to buy a sword? Why did He call the pharisees vipers and sons of the Satan? Why did He whip the moneychangers in the Temple? Because He loved them so much?
Is Christ the God of the OT who gave the Mosaic law?
Face it - you don't follow the Christianity of the early Church established by Christ. You follow the judaized subverted fake and gay Christianity that came 15c after Christ where each individual is their own Pope with zero regard for tradition. Your translation of the OT is based on the Masoretic texts (jewish Torah) and not on the Septuagint which was used in the NT. Do you care to guess why is that?
Except you're wrong. All those questions with zero Scripture to corroborate your bad opinion. It's almost like you are leaning on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6
I'm not interested in your opinion about the Word of God. I'm only interested in the Word of God. You can have a vengeful heart if you so choose though but.. first consider the levity of the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:23-35. Right now, you're the unforgiving servant.

Settle down, rabbi. Jesus said what He said and there's no amount of kvetching you can do to change that.
