Love God, Love Yourself. Love your neighbor as yourself. On this
premise lives all the laws you are trying to keep and all the prophets'
work you are trying to follow. ~Matthew 22:38-40 (Kenyetta Translation).
THIS is the answer Jesus gave when asked
about the greatest commandment. So WHY is it that those who claim to
follow Jesus seem to put so much focus on every possible way to condemn
folks and not these 3 basic tenets. Why are they spending so much time
trying to govern their lives and lives of everyone else by an antiquated
set of laws(half of which they are misinterpreting anyway)
that even their favorite, Apostle Paul said will kill you in the end.
If
they REALLY believe that Jesus "paid it all" on the cross, then why do
they keep charging folks for a debt that's been cleared? Let people live
their lives, and live your life as a Christian in a way that would
inspire others to see value in the way you're living. There's no need
for these ideas of sequester that say "I can't serve or even associate
with you because you're not of the same faith as I am." That is actually
the exact opposite of what Jesus modeled for his followers. And when he
was preparing to leave them he told them that the way the world should
be able to recognize them as his followers was by following his example
of love. He kept company with many of the same folks that these so
called "Christian" business owners are trying to reject in the name of a
savior they clearly don't fully understand themselves. The fact that
the Attorney General of this country has created a committee to assist
these so called Christians to discriminate against folks is not only
constitutionally questionable, it is biblically incorrect.
