Yesterday, the news of Scott Pressler's illness was posted on both sites. On PDW, roughly 3/4 of the comments were positive and the post recieved a lot of upvotes. The other 1/4 were hate filled responses by so called Christians regarding Scott's sexual preference. Many trying to claim what Jesus would say. Other comments were as if Westboro Church had shown up.
I don't want to get into a debate on what Jesus would say or do, but I do want to talk about how positive the response was here. No negative comments and no downvotes. Just positive comments and prayers.
You are all great people and it shows. This is what makes this movement so great. Americans genuinely wanting a better country and the desire to make all of our lives better. Thank you.
Here's Jesus' own words (translated into English) on what Christian discipleship means:
John: 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
That's it, and that's all. I'll take His definition over anyone else's.
That's great, thank you.
It is not loving to withhold the truth. And, it is not a full expression of biblical truth if it lacks love...
Agreed.
Also agreed. But I'm not understanding how Jesus' definition of discipleship "lacks love", or how anything in my post does either. I am probably missing something here, so . . . please help me understand your meaning.
Oh I meant that people that act hateful in the name of Christianity as OP stated does not demonstrate biblical principles of love.
Nothing wrong with your comment
OK, thanks.
