“Just preach the gospel” they say.
And I ask... like the colonizers “preached the gospel” while they genocided the Indigenous people of the Americas?
Or like when the slave owners “preached the gospel” while raping and enslaving children from Africa?”
“Just” like that?
“Doom to you who legislate evil,
who make laws that make victims —
Laws that make misery for the poor,
that rob my destitute people of dignity...”
Isaiah 10:1-2 MSG
SINCE—when he lived among us—JESUS WAS NEITHER
Herodian nor Zealot,
Pharisee nor Sadducee,
Essene nor Scribe,
MIGHT IT BE SAFE TO ASSUME, were he among us today, HE WOULD BE NEITHER
Republican nor Democrat?
Might he still call us all to PRINCIPLES ABOVE PARTY?

Christian:
if you speak of women’s roles more than women’s dignity and worth,
if you speak of masculine traits more than Christlike character,
if you fret more about an abuser’s reputation than a victim’s safety,
then for the love of God,
please,
lay your idols down.
