Repukes Are Winning By Using Hate & Relating Hate to God
I wonder if alot of people aren't missing the point of Christianity and indeed the point of the Gospel. I hear all too often "Christ hates this type of person" or something along those lines. Let me tell you something, Christ is about love. It's that easy. It's love people, not hate or judgement or scorn. Not unacceptance and rejection. It's not about you being angry that two men want to be married, and it's not about anyone being upset that a black man and white man compete for a job. It's not about you judging anyone else for something they do. It's about love. Check this song out, Christmas Song by Dave Matthews Band.

She was his girl; he was her boyfriend
She be his wife; take him as her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy little giggling dribbling baby boy
The wise men came three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around

Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary for a reasonable fee, less than
Reputable as known to be

His heart was full of love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said "oh, Daddy-o I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of my children all around"

The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Like you and me

Rumors insisited he soon would be
For his deviations
Taken into custody by the authorities
Less informed than he.
Drinkers and jokers. all soul searchers
Searching for love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around

Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said "eat this bread and think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around"
The blood of our children all around

Father up above, why in all this anger have you fill
Me up with love
Fill me love love love
Love love love
Love love
And the blood of our children all around

----Am I saying we must accept all behavior?? No, but think clearly about what you're saying about these behaviors and NEVER allow anything you say to come from a place of hate or fear or rejection. Let all your actions be because of love. Act on love, and faith that the love you give will grow in this world. Sow seeds of love, and you will never reap hate. Teach your children to love, because our parents hated too much. Show your friends and neighbors how to love in the face of adversity. Show your spouses what it is to love in times of great strain and stress. Love people, go forth and love. Don't hate and don't fear.

John 15:9 says "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

I can't find it in me or in my understanding of my God and Savior to believe that the center of the faith is NOT love. It has to be love, God is love. All he is and does is a great reflection of his essence, and that essence is love.

1. At the risk of sounding judgmental, these so-called "Christians"
will get scrutinized by their god that they shove in everybody's faces to promote their agendas. They better bring a few extra pairs of underwear when they do because they're gonna shit a load!

2. I Agree
God never preached hate, he preached love, kindness, humility, and forgiveness.

He is being exploited. ;(
