Is This How Jesus Loves His Enemies???

I am once again struck by the abruptness of Jesus in dealing with unbelievers.  Just to be clear, I am talking here about unbelievers who have already chosen not to follow Jesus. 

Notice how they are trying to play gotcha and Jesus is having none of it.

Matthew 16:1-6(NKJV)

1Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 

2He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 

3and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ £Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. 

4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of £the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.

5Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 

6Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

A couple of things stand out here to me.  Since the Pharisees and Sadducees are clearly adversaries and not true seekers, notice that Jesus doesn't spend any time trying to lovingly turn them around and win them over. 

Why not?  Didn't Jesus say "love your enemies"?  Did Jesus treat them very lovingly?  Seems to me that a lot of modern day Christians would take "love your enemy" to mean that they needed to try and water down Scripture so that they could come to a compromise with the Pharisees and Sadducees so that everyone could feel included and loved.

So we have one of two things going on here.  Either Jesus is a hypocrite for saying "love your neighbor" while treating them this way or a lot of people have a lack of understanding of what Jesus meant by "love your enemy". 

Remember, if you think you have found a contradiction, check your premise.  In this case I think the faulty premise is that capitulation in some way equals love.

How are we supposed to love our enemies then?  I believe we are to love our enemies by praying for them and being willing to reconcile when they are willing to seek reconciliation.  I don't think it means we stop fighting our enemies.

Why do I believe that is the proper way?  Because that is the model that God has shown us.  Scripture tells us that when someone rejects Jesus they are declaring themselves an enemy of God.  God kicks butt against His enemies but God is always willing to forgive and take back anyone who asks forgiveness and accepts Jesus.  If they never do that then Scripture tells us that God will eventually treat all of His enemies to eternal damnation. 

The other thing I notice is that Jesus warns the disciples against the "leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees".  A couple of verses later it is explained what He means.
 

Matthew 16:11-12(NKJV)

11How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 

12Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Another thing that we see in the modern day church is this whole idea that we have to be all inclusive and keep an open mind.  Really?  That doesn't seem to be what Jesus is saying.
