How can you claim to fight systemic racism, gun violence and the rich not paying their fair share and pardoning a rich, connected White Boy for gun crime and tax evasion?

The same way Christianity promotes unconditional love while condemning gays?

Agape is the sacrificial, unconditional love of God.

Loving someone unconditionally does not mean there isn't any accountability.

Yes, Jesus required repentance from sinners:

Jesus preached repentance as a central message of his mission:
Luke 5:32: "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance"
Luke 13:5: "But unless you repent, you too will all perish"
Matthew 4:17: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"

Exactly ….. we are called to love the sinner as we are ALL sinners but to call out sin and condemn it. Homosexuality is against scripture just the same as murder, lying, stealing, lust, and so on. “Accepting” sinful behavior is not loving.

Not even close to the same, one man served his time, paid his price...the other is still committing crimes......and apparently you don't have any rich friends....because that is the way the rich live their lives...the give "gifts" often substantial to their friends....and expect nothing...and would be offended if anything was given in return for those gifts...But hey, keep watching MSNBC...they need the ratings.

Please... if you believe nothing is expected in return, keep drinking the kool-aid! and not a party line issue! a blanket statement.

Same. A few like 30m yacht rich, in my circle.

There are still very rich people out there that remain humble and understand the struggles of others who are in a place where they once were or would've been, otherwise. They will gladly help with nothing expected in return. Their reward is the pleasure and peace they helped someone struggling.

Funny you say that...

When I worked as a tech for Bentley, those customers were the Nicest people around.

I had to go to a lady's house to look her car one day. Super nice lady, and invited me in for coffee, when I was done.

BEAUTIFUL fucking house!!!

When I asked her...

So what do you do for a living?

Oh, I own Trader Joes. 😊

Me: Speechless.

😜

So you wouldn’t correct your own kids if they were screwing up? Show me a parent that doesn’t love their kids, and I’ll show you their kid who has no sense of right and wrong. I discipline my kids and call them out when they are wrong because I love them. We run a tight ship in our house and because of that, I have a 17 year old that asks permission before going anywhere with friends that I never even worry about who he is with or what he is doing because he knows the consequences of making poor choices. Just like I was as a kid….. my parents trusted me and I never got I to trouble with drugs, drinking, partying, girls….. none of it because I knew the consequences. Was I perfect….. FAR from it, but I was able to stay away from getting into trouble. We are entitled to our own opinions, not our own facts.

I'm trying to understand what you post has to do with Christianity's views of gays? Are you saying you'd correct your son for being gay?
