Yes, Jesus teaches us on the "sermon on the mount" that we should love our enemies but he is not teaching that we must be friends with them and have fellowship with them, Jesus is speaking of seeking their good. The Lord says "pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;". What are we to pray for? What is the most important thing that we should pray for for those who do evil unto us? I believe it is to pray for their salvation as we do not know who are God's elect. The Sun and Rain on the non elect are not blessings for they glorify him not as God, neither are they thankful and because of their hard and "impenitent heart" they treasure up "wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;".
