so if we go to the meaning i can insert in luke 6:27 do good to them that hate ( detest ) you
so comming from the definitions used by the lexicon the word miseo fits in this way
μισέω
to hate
μισέω
to detest (especially to persecute); by extension, to love lessDerivation: from a primary μῖσος (hatred);
KJV Usage: hate(-ful).
Thayer:1) to hate, pursue with hatred, detest
2) to be hated, detested
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words•Hate, Hateful, Hater, Hatred

μισέω
miseō
mis-eh'-o
From a primary word μῖσος misos (hatred); to detest (especially to persecute); by extension to love less
again it depends on the context being used

I see there are three views in the "hate" camps concerning Jesus saying to hate your family. 1) It means what it says, hate means to hate, as God hated the deeds of the Nicoliatans. 2) It's explained away by hyperbole. 3) It's a wrong word to be used in today's world. It should be changed to "love less".
Anyway, I was attempting to get back to the God is Love topic of the thread. I was actually speaking of the actions toward your enemies. You love them and kill them or was this just hyperbole?
