Racism is an idea that most people strongly disagree with, so obviously that discounts racists as potential friends. Loving your enemies is an idea that people strongly agree with (assumption of course), but that doesn't automatically guarantee that a person holding that belief would be a good friend. There are other factors at play when deciding if someone is friend material. Just because a person is satisfactory with factor, that doesn't mean they would be satisfactory overall. On the other hand, if a person is horribly bad because of just one factor, then that can be a good reason to not be friends with him/her even without getting to know him entirely. There's a difference.

I see your point now, my apologies although it's a bit silly to think quotations 30 years removed are accurate. 

Matthew 10:34-36

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;

36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’[a]

We could never be friends. He would take the blame for everything and I would feel incredibly guilty watching him suffer for reprimands I should be receiving.

And that might even lead me down a dark path of doing terrible things because I know he'd take responsibility for it....

Ok, the bible can be a bit excessive at times, I guess especially with regard to it punishments and how it describes them. But remember that this was a woman that was doing all kinds of evil and misleading people. How can we know the truth if our leader is misleading us? So  Jesus is saying to the woman that she will be punished, if she does not repent (althought I think he's talking to the Church or wrong teachings, not a particular person).

Yeah the punishment might be excessive, but she (or the Church) was warned and did have a choice.

Moreover, some if not most of this punishement I think happens in the spiritual relm, cuase we have all kinds of adultery happening today and there is seemingly no such severe punishment happening. I think he is just saying that he will destroy your churches and your teachings if you do not repent.

I look at it in a different way, in that Jesus was making way for a tree that did bear fruit. Isn't it better to have trees or anything round that fullfils their purpose? What if your PS3 360 doesn't boot up one day, again, will you keep it around? 

That's an understatement. The punishment for any type of immoral behavior tends to be death.

So if you don't apologize he will destroy your things and/or kill you. Sounds like an infant.

If I had super healing powers, I would fix the tree rather than destroying it. Jesus was being unnecessarily reckless.

Sure if the guy cured my ailments and made water into wine we could party.

Nope, sorry, your source pulls quotations from the book of John which I'm told isn't the direct quotations of Jesus and is not relevant to this thread.

It is quite clear that Jesus is not a peaceful man by his own admission. As such, I care not to befriend him.

You're illusive as always my friend.

Anyways, I don't think loving your enemies is an ideal that everyone can accept, and even if one does accept it, can actually live it. I sure as hell don't love nearly all my enemies, but I still agree with Jesus teaching on the matter and do my best to follow it. I'm sure most people would agree with this teach but would find it extremelyy hard to put into practice.

Jesus' whole character involved similar teachings, from beginning to end, so I argue that all of Jesus was satisfactory, even to the extent that based on his teaching on everyday life and how to treat your fellow man, almost everyone could relate to him as a person worthy of being called a friend. All the "factors" that the Bible reveals about Jesus tells us that he would make a good friend.

What 1 or 2 main "factors" do you consider important for you to call someone a friend?
