That is what this is all about. We know biblically that we are all created in the image of God. We know that we are all fallen and are redeemed by the blood of Christ and are being prepared for the New Creation to come (Rev. 21).
The anithesis that has separated us from one another and from God runs through us all, including our enemies. We are all in the same boat. We are all in the need of transformation and must look to the transformation of one another through the love of Christ. That is what it means to be Christlike.
That is why I whole heartedly disagree with Robertson and so many others. We must look to the transformation of our enemies rather than their convenient disposal. When Jesus said love your enemies he meant every word of it.
To deny the opportunity for our enemies to change is to deny ourselves the same opportunity. For we are all capable of atrocity in one form or another. God does not allow his people to live under the law of "Kill or be Killed." In fact, Jesus proved that his way was far more excellent and effective.
