The word itself (unfortunately) perpetuates othering, it affirms and continues the violence of labeling. Just think of a day when this verse doesn't even make sense to us, because we have actually been the "peacemakers" we are required to be. Thanks for posting this, (IMO) there are few more poignant turns of the phrase that represent the very heart of the Gospel. It shows us how little "progress" we've actually made.

I suspect many Christians have dis-honored God and wasted much of their time hating this man. It needed to be said.

What I meant to say is that I am barely able to be the above in word - in deed I am untested, but I'll like to think so. Could my reply make less sense?
