Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
Of course they are people, they are also relatives and loved ones to others. When Jesus says we must forgive others he is helping us in being better people.
My love of God and trust in him allows me love others with out fear, we are all lost souls and don't get everything right.
Communists believe they are doing the right thing for others but they have also swallowed a big lie that we are some sort of evil supremacists.
They don't see what we see in regards to the corruption TBF to them it is a big and complex web hidden from the surface but they are doing what they think is right even though some go about it in a narrow minded and violent way.
I don't like the legalist attitude Wokism breeds as it's not forgiving, they all have different laws that they burden others with and they themselves fall short of laws set by their peers. This is what Jesus hated, so he freed us with faith, patience and love.
I don't worry enough about what they are doing as I trust Gods plan of salvation was thought out before this world was made.
I pray they have a change of heart and be the friendly people they were when they were children.
They have been sold a lie and with it rebelliousness but i don't want to be one who holds grudges as its a burden I don't want to hold.
I trust God to sort this world out and I do my best in pleasing God and serving his will.
Build up your treasures in heaven as we're not meant for this world but for the next one.
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Revelation 22:11 KJV
“He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
Communists who persecute Christians have some similarities to Paul. He once was a persecutor, but he came to Christ. It may not be the story of every communist. It could be the story of some.
I have found that those "people" generally no longer have a soul.
If they do not have a soul, then they are no longer God's children.
Anyone, who has given up their soul to follow Satan/Moloch; eat children; drink human blood; and willfully gave their soul to Satan, will never receive love and forgiveness from me.
If there is redemption for them; it will have to come directly from God.
Ask him who thy neighbor is. Luke 10:30 will tell you, but understanding is your own work. Yes, they are your neighbours. Treat them as you would like to be treated, if you had committed the same act through ignorance.
Yes, they count as people but they are overwhelmed by satanic evil.

I - for one - know that I'm ill-prepared to successfully deal with demonically possessed persons. OP, you describe the "commies" as being persons who want to destroy our way of life. I say such persons are possessed by the devil.
||
|| What I'm saying is that we have among us, THOUSANDS (maybe millions) of people who are harboring unclean spirits (very powerful or not so powerful demons) - AND, many of those who are possessed may be overwhelmed NOT BY CHOICE. Jesus warned his disciples that driving out such unwholesome spirits requires MAJOR faith.
||
|| AND, I'm telling you to do what I need to do: GET REAL about our faith in God in Christ Jesus. For too long I have not been taking this seriously enough. THIS IS A SPIRITUAL WAR!! We must prepare for spiritual WARFARE! We have allowed for DECADES the building of satanic strongholds (the swamp, the military-industrial complex, Hollyweird, the communications and publishing industries, Major League Sports, yadda, yadda, yadda). EVERY ASPECT of our national life must be freed from the demons who continuously work to destroy ALL OF US (left and right; innocents and perpetrators).
||
|| Forgive? Yes, absolutely. Someone else here reminded us that forgiveness is just as much about our OWN freedom (and sanity). However, no one is asking you to be defenseless or naive. AND, PREPARE FOR SPIRITUAL WAR! The Christ of God is RISEN and He is going on before us! KING JESUS can show us the way but we must FOLLOW HIM in every path of our lives. He is our only hope!
In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, "I wouldn't know, I've only ever killed communists"
Thus endeth the lesson.
would the lord approve of ganowicz
Above my paygrade. But I understand Ganowicz.
I call bullcrap. God allows protection. LOVE ALWAYS PROTECTS. EPHESIANS.
Jesus doesn't tell you to be a pushover. He was brave enough to tell some that their mothers were snakes. "You brood of vipers" haha
The service and love of God is the first command.
Self defense against those that wish to destroy you and your service to God is self dignified love to self.
Set apart.
Revelation 1:6
“and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.“
Yes, they do and you know that Jesus would say so, too.
Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

glad you asked this question, I wonder about this all the time.
how are we to think of these 'people'?
are they the 'tares' from the Bible?
