I think this was the church I was going to... We left, but not for these reasons (there were many, but the last was when they shamed us for not getting vaxxed).
I see this propaganda much more clearly now.
I believe my (our) mission from God is to love. I am still working on getting consistent there, but the problem here is having it shoved down our throats and celebrated.
God also told us not to lie, cheat, steal, convet, etc... I can love and forgive someone that does these things- but I don't need to celebrate the act or dedicate everything to it. Uhg.
Never forget that God hates sin. “Love is Love” is a demonic slogan aimed at us to tolerate sin. “God is Love” has been used in the same manner, as if God won’t judge us harshly for our sins because He loves us. Nothing could be further from the Truth. If one word describes God it is the word “HOLY.” And holiness is completely sinless, as Jesus was.
I don’t need to agree with someone to show them love…. But I get the clarification there. I may be expressing myself well… but as i responded in a different comment- I’m still learning. No doubt, I will see layers more to what you’ve said in the future.
Thanks for the support and providing your insights ❤️
I agree very much but let me point out, God told us not to bear false witness but that's not nesc the same thing as lying. I normally don't recommend lying of course but in these crazy times if you need to forge a vax card to save someone's life you are not bearing false witness against anyone. Key word is against, do not lie to create undo hardship on others but if you need to do that to save someone, I think God would understand ;)
Because you are a person of integrity & there was never a need to before. Someone pointed that out to me years ago in defense of a "little white lie." I am not a fan of them, at all but I had to concede that they don't actually break commandments. Now a days, though, I am glad she pointed that out to me.
I don’t even like the little white lies- I don’t do them. If you’re willing to lie about something small, it isn’t much to think you’d lie about something big.
The vaxx though? I would definitely lie there if needed… I don’t put that in the white lie category though.
I’m probably being hypocritical- but in this case I’m comfortable with it.

Agree- excellent clarification!!

Jesus didn’t abide by the hypocrisy of the elite of the time—-the Pharisees, etc—- who had made up their own rules away from God
What I detest most is that many know they are misleading others and don't care.
Absolutely

I don’t know how I ever missed that nuance- but I did. Thank you fren, for this enlightenment ❤️
